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.
Los Angeles Lakers big men Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol: The Lakers will likely only move Bynum in a deal for Howard, sources said. The Houston Rockets still have interest in Gasol – who they nearly acquired in the offseason – but will likely have to recruit a third team that can send a point guard to the Lakers. The Rockets have shown no inclination to move their own point guard, Kyle Lowry.
