Would be pretty embarrassing if Howard was representing another team at the All Star game in Orlando. I understand that clearly, don't know why you don't.

Many teams have expressed interest in point guard Ramon Sessions, but sources say no trade is imminent. tinyurl.com/7a5p7mw

The Toronto Raptors are expected to pursue Wilson Chandler. However, Chandler has several other options to consider:

Nothing magical about Howard’s latest rant
Howard didn’t name names. He handed down a blanket indictment.
“We all have to get better,” he said, “but if you don’t want to be out there, don’t dress up. If you don’t want to play, stay home. People work too hard. I want to win a championship.”
We’ll have to take Howard’s word on that ... but not as a member of this fraternity.
On some abstract basis, I find it pathetically peculiar someone so forcefully committed to fleeing the Magic Kingdom is upset when others aren’t giving their undivided devotion.
Say what we want about how LeBron James mishandled his exit courteousness from Cleveland. But at least James and Toronto’s Chris Bosh played out their contracts and were prepared to forfeit a season’s pay and larger annual bumps by signing with Miami.
Conversely, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, and now Howard polluted their teams’ environment before commencement exercises kicked off for the Nuggets, Hornets and Magic. No being possibly left short for them.
Their self-absorbed strategy: Demand a trade, select a preferred destination or three and extend for the Larry Bird rights maximum.
I find it amusing Anthony, Paul and Howard profess endless love for the fans and the cities they abandoned.
Meanwhile, not once have any of them confessed to suffering so much as a pang of concern for the team instability they created, unresponsiveness by teammates (a Magic affliction Howard hasn’t quite grasped) and disarray left behind, in New Orleans, anyway, so far.
The Magic have a chance to strike it rich depending on what the Lakers, Nets, Mavericks and Bulls (Howard tagged them on his privileged list) are willing to exchange for baby-sitting him for the next five seasons.
Chicago cannot contemplate surrendering Joakim Noah and Luol Deng, it says here. Subtracting them from their untainted mix is a recipe for ruination. Notice, you don’t see Derrick Rose petitioning for a superstar sidekick. He would never denigrate his flawlessly compatible teammates like that. What’s more, he recognizes they’ve got a first-class thing going on.
Yeah, that’s what the Bulls need, a free-throw shooting liability who can’t be thrown the ball in the final five minutes of close games; the guy who led the Magic to a first-round playoff outage last season against the Hawks; and the mope who publicly whines about teammates, Van Gundy and general manager Otis Smith.
On second thought, Howard does have a fairly strong case in all regards.
Of course, should managing partner Jerry Reinsdorf acquire Howard we’ll all know his next move already is planned ... bring back Phil Jackson.

Boston has a ton of money next year, doubt they want to waste it on Gasol now that their old players have finally gotten off their contracts.

Jackson has already been suspended twice this year. First time, he overslept and missed shootaround. Second time, verbal abuse of official.

Stephen Jackson didn't play in Milwaukee's win over Detroit on Monday. Jackson is frustrated, but sources say he hasn't demanded a trade.

Stephen Jackson is someone to keep an eye on as the trade deadline approaches. The Bucks won't pay him $9,260,000 to sit on the bench.

Is it just me that would actually prefer to have Dwight traded now rather than keep him? I just dont like anything about the guy now. Its gone to far, and i dont think anything that is said or done can change the feelings our organisation has towards him. Cant stand to even look at the guy anymore...

Cant stand to even look at the guy anymore... pretty much not gonna watch any more magic games until hes traded. Just cant face it...
