Because he has no idea what he's doing or because he "got bad advice."

More likely it's because he didn't want to play for LA, and he still doesn't really, but the prospect of spending another whole season in ORL is even worse. If he really DID want to go to LA then he'd be fine with signing an extension, he still doesn't, but at this point it's still a better prospect to him than playing for Orlando.

Eric Pincus is sketchy as ****. Last night, some lady with like a hundred followers claimed her "sources" told her that one of the Lakers were told they might be traded in a Dwight deal soon. Pincus retweeted her talking about she's "good people." Immediately after, he retweeted some clown pretending to be a reporter saying that Dwight was about to be traded to LA.

He might be well-connected, but he's naive and flighty as hell.

Laker fans feel so entitled to Dwight. I'm not too sure if this is going to happen. Don't get me wrong Magic get the best deal by trading for Bynum, but Lakers FO is too smart. They will not want a possibly injured rental for their franchise center.

FWIW, RealGM's very own Jarrod Rudolph, said Dwight will be a Net by Tuesday.


He has been going back & forth, everything points to Dwight to L.A, don't be scared.

Who's he? Rudolph? He's been saying BK for a while. Look at his Twitter feed, listen to his radio interview from the other day.

They will a have a hell of a pressure to win. Not close to Lebron.

Nash-Kobe-Artest-Gasol-Howard, after all this drama.

And with everyone searching for a job in the next Jurassic Park movie, they have to win in 2013.

If anything the Nets are still Deron's team no matter what, he didnt go through two garbage years just to have Dwight come in and "BE THE MAN."

The Magic are terrible. He wants a chance to be good as a first option.

The problem with Chicago and LA were always that he cannot be the guy. Brooklyn lets him play with Deron and still be the top guy.

And he wants to play in a big market. Thats the appeal IMO.


You are a leading candidate as one of the top trolls on these boards. You have an input on EVERYTHING related to Dwight Howard.

"The Magic are terrible" - when was the last time the Nets even had a winning season? Shut up.

I'm so tired of seeing all your stupid posts and then trying to shoot down everyone else's opinions.
