Source says lots of talk tough and "less than truths" going on, but Lakers believe Howard will eventually end up in LA.

Source added: "It's up to the Magic whether or not they want to lose (Howard) for nothing. They're driving down their price."

Fegan?

Could be him or Rudolph. Sounds more like Fegan though.

This whole thing is such a joke. They should shut twitter down until its over. Force these idiots to get approval for everything they write by an editor.

I wish instead of saying "source" they would just say "Howard's agent".

Yeah it will be a lot of fun to just talk basketball instead of this stupid soap opera storyline that we are currently going through right now regarding Dwight Howard.

I dream about that day.

Teams that want Howard wont give up as much when they know they can sign him & not give anybody up

-Amick

Now we're right back where we were before the ETO. This guy is acting like we're 42 games into the season or something. There's 100+ days left before Dwight even plays a game, and imo, just about all of those days count for nothing in the bargaining room.

He is a dunk short of becoming a superstar.

Lose Howard for nothing? I'd like to see Dwight walk away from 25 million in a tax free state. I'll believe it when I see it.

If that's true, then it really won't surprise me if we just roll the dice on him and see if he changes his mind again which at this stage is very possible.

It's completely absurd assumption. There is no difference between trading him today and trading him in like 3 months. He won't play a game until November 1st. If he's still rehabbing, he'll likely have a limited role in training camp as well.

Amick is an idiot if he believes this.
What teams? There are 2, maybe 3 teams that could possibly convince dwight to sign with them. Maybe. For the rest, this is their one and only chance at a shot at the top big man in the game in his prime. Plain and simple.

For my Magic peeps... wrap your head around this concept... All things must fit the new culture. Team work. Humility. Sacrifice

That explains the Jameer and Redick decisions, and likely means we will hold onto Big Baby.
