NBA Trade Rumor March 2012

Rajon Rondo 

    The Boston Celtics and maybe the their Best Player is on the trading Block , The Celtics find Rondo's personality to be too high-maintenance and his clashes with coach Doc Rivers remain an off-court distraction, sources told Broussard, and the front office is now actively pitching him to other teams. With the Celtics realizing they are no longer title contenders, they don't believe his point guard prowess is worth the headaches Rondo brings




 Michael Beastly 

     The former 2nd Pick overall in 2008 NBA Draft is continuously being pursue by the Los Angeles Lakers to fill their void on the wing spot .According to a league source. Beasley, a talented and athletic small forward, would fill one of the Lakers' greatest needs

 Dwight Howard , Luol Deng , and Joachim Noah

       The Chicago natives express their willingness to send 2 of their best players in Luol Deng and Joachim Noah to bring the Orlando Behemoth and team him up with their ace guard Derick Rose. 

What's next for Dwight Howard

         As early as this season, Teams already are making some drastic moves to acquire the Orlando Magic Center Dwight Howard. The Most Dominant Center of our time will be a free agent after this season and reportedly will not re-sign with the Magics after his frustration became more evident due to lack of competitiveness within the Team and Management. 

“People don’t understand it because they are not the ones who have to go through it,” Howard said. “They only see it from one side. But it is tough. It’s been tough all year. But that’s not a point of discussion for me, especially for me this weekend(referring to the All-Star Weekend)".

   At the start of the Season, Dwight Howard was reportedly being pursuit by the New Jersey Nets and Derron Williams in exchange for Brook Lopez and a draft pick but did not push through due to some misunderstanding between the the Orlando Magics and New Jersey Nets Management. 

Interested Teams

NEW JERSEY NETS

     Derron Williams and the Nets are pursuing Dwight Howard since the start of the tournament, to the Fact that he is interested on having an All-Star center and vice versa having Dwight Howard interested on having an All-Star Guard. With the Salary Cap Space for the Nets being trimmed down as the season goes , it will only give a further assurance that they will be able to bring to the table what ever the big guy wants. 

LOS ANGELES LAKERS

    

    The Trade erupted when Bynum's health was questioned by the Team and the Management. The Initial offer was to send Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol to the Magics in exchange for Howard and a draft pick. The issue also brought back the same scenery when Shaquille O'neal was traded to the Lakers who has  the same stature as Dwight Howard before. Both coming from High School and tagged as the Most Dominant Center on their Era that were also pick as the first overall by the same team, Orlando Magics.  According to some personal interviews to Dwight Howard, he doesn't want to follow the route of Shaquille O'neal  to further avoid the comparison that may occur in the future. 

DALLAS MAVERICSK

    Mark Cuban's team came into the mix as he was reportedly pursuing the Big man and Derron Williams by trading Shawn Marion and they had started already to axed  some of their players to increase their Cap space. 

NEW YORK KNICKS

     The Dwight Howard trade was reportedly being eyed by the organization to create another BIG 3 compose of Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire and Dwight Howard to contest the Miami Heat's Big 3. Which is a long catch since the cap space for the knicks is almost over the limit upon the acquisition off Tyson Chandler.
