Dwight Howard monitoring thread (All other topics merging)

[Ronito]

Ok, you win. It's possible for the Mavericks to sign both Dwight and Deron to join Dirk in Dallas.

Arguing about whether Dwight and Deron can join the Mavericks in the Dwight Howard monitoring thread which just happens to be in the Nets forum is getting kind of annoying.

Back on topic - one has to wonder why Dwight asked for a trade to the Nets and not the Lakers. Both have assets, and Dwight named both on his list of three teams he'd sign an extension with.

The reports sounded like his agent was chasing trades to all 3 places, although only one of them ended up very public. You have to believe his agent wouldn't have been requesting permission to talk trade to a place that (a) he didnt want to go to, or (b) they then didn't follow through on. Sometimes when you don't hear anything, it means no talks are happening, but at other times, lots is being discussed and no one hears about it until the trade pops. NJ's talks usually end up on the front page for some reason.

"Howard requested a trade during several meetings last week and has been given permission by the Magic to have contact with the New Jersey Nets, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks."

"Smith has previously given Howard's agent, Dan Fegan, permission to discuss trades with Dallas, New Jersey and the Los Angeles Lakers."

"The Mavs, Los Angeles Lakers and New Jersey Nets are the three teams the Orlando Magic has given Howard's agent, Dan Fegan, permission to talk to regarding trade possibilities."
