The Dwight Howard Thread

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

He's basically already said that. The problem most have is that he hasn't added the "years and years" part after whenever he says "Orlando is my team".

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

He's setting it up now basically and if this Lockout ends(and depending on the new CBA)it's only a matter of time before he bounces:

SR: Do you think the players' union can hold it together?
DH: We've got to. We've got to stick together. I know, as much as I try to do for the game of basketball and be an ambassador for the NBA, I don't want my money cut short. I work hard. Not just in games, but off the court, too. When the NBA asks me to do something, I'm there.
SR: You're representing.
DH: That's my job, to motivate people. I can do more, show people more things. That's really why I play basketball. That's my whole purpose of playing basketball. I was supposed to be in the NBA. I was supposed to travel the world and make the world a better place.
SR: That's no small thing for a man to carry.
DH: It's not. But that's why God gave me big shoulders.
SR: Do you think that the drive to represent, on an iconic level, will be a factor in your free agency? Do you see yourself in a much larger market?
DH: There's more you can do in a bigger place. I'm stuck in a tough position because I feel like right now, where I'm at, I've done so much. And I just don't know what else I can do. I can't live for everybody else. I don't know what decision I'm gonna make as of right now. It's been crazy. Everybody wants me to come here, come play here, come to our team, do this. It's a great feeling, though, to be wanted.
SR: You're gone. I can feel it.
DH: The toughest part for me is the city — the people. They've got burgers named after me in Orlando, they've got a Web site saying, "Please stay." I love the people in the city. I've literally sat on the bench with a towel on my head crying, because I feel the passion in the stands. I just think about what's going to be best for what I want to accomplish in my life. And I don't want that door to close on me, wherever that door is. I don't want it to close.
SR: Just don't do it as an hour-long ESPN special. Please.
DH: That's not me.

Can Otis Smith have one more bad deal left in him??

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

Sounds like Melo or Shaq about 10 years ago.

I know this is just fodder for the union but the Magic FO put them in cap hell and give Dwight no incentive to stay, regardless of the size of the market.

Free Agency is what it is. He can go where he chooses. That's his right.

I just don't want to see him (or his agent) hold teams hostage trying to 'cut' a deal to get him somewhere (read: LA).

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

A little advice to Orlando fans - don't spend the season kissing his butt to get him to stay. It won't do any good.

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

He will be a Laker no doubt in my mind. If he goes anywhere else I would be stunned.

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

Oh yeah? Lay out for us how he will end up in LA.

I am interested in this scenario.

Brooklyn Bound

[da ThRONe]

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

I think Brooklyn makes more sense than any other place. Great PG that could be considered the best(not IMO), large market and a owners with endless pockets.

The only thing I that really think may be is an issue if they are trying to acquire Howard via trade will be trade assets.

Re: Could Dwight Be Playing Somewhere Else Next Season?

Dude sounds like he's as good as gone

He doesn't believe in management one bit, thats why he said he's done all he can do..so he doesnt see a ring in their future.


How many stars can one team/city lose

Considering that LA always gets who they want/and stars always leave Orlando, and that Dwight has Hollywood written all over him, seems like a perfect storm.
