If we could get Tyson Chandler AND Amare or Carmelo, how do you turn that down if you're Orlando?

Dwight is not a man. He is a child. There is something seriously loose in his brain. I'm starting to think that he is mentally unstable.

Do you believe everything you read? I'm not saying that it is or isn't true but those are strong opinions of something you have no idea of being correct or not.

How are they terrible? Chandler and Carmelo for Dwight? Chandler and Amare for Dwight? A potential top three pick and Houston's first round pick for Dwight?

Those are great offers.

Easily if it's amare. You can't turn down Carmelo and chandler though.

You are purposely being nieve because you believe what you WANT to belive.

The writing is on the wall and the picture is crystal clear. Dwight has sabotaged this franchise and we're going to be feeling the effects for many years to come.

Do you think we could get the Knicks to include Melo instead of Amare?

I don't think so but you can't touch Amare's uninsured max contract.

I disagree. Otis sabotaged this franchise. Stan and Dwight are the casualties.

Dwight didn't sabotage anything. He's giving the front office an additional year to do its job. Otis sabotaged it.

Dwight Howard wants out of Orlando, and Nets or Knicks could get him

I’ve already told you in no uncertain terms that Dwight Howard wants out of Orlando, and today we take the story to it’s next logical place.

Where will Howard end up?

The first thing you need to realize is that his destination wish list has grown, because he wants a complete divorce from the Magic –more so than he did back at the trading deadline in March, when the threat of a trade (to the Lakers, Rockets, Warriors, depending on who you want to believe) forced Howard to opt-in for the final year of his contract.

I know a source close to Howard, and I am told that he harbors a lot of resentment toward the Magic for forcing his hand the way they did on deadline day.

And even if the Magic tell him he can have a say in choosing the new coach and general manager after Stan Van Gundy and Otis Smith were let go Monday, it won’t matter.

He wants out.

so, the guy knows a source close to Howard who can tell him he's resentful about that day, but he can't tell him specifically as to where Dwight would've been traded, so that comes back to a "depending on who you want to believe". come on Sheridan, if you've got the inside scoop then stick to it with conviction. if you're guy doesn't even know what team he was threatened to be traded to, then how do you build a complete story on his word? GTFO, clown.

This. He's all over the place in that sorry excuse for an article.

Broussard on SC right now. Says Howard's list follows as so...

1. Nets
2. Magic
3. Lakers

Says Dwight has a soft spot for Orlando in his heart. Thinks if the Magic impress Dwight with front office moves and roster moves, he could stay. He doesn't expect Dwight to be traded around the draft, but rather September if it happens. Says Orlando should keep Dwight and force D-Will to make a decision because if D-Will decides to leave for Dallas, that rules Brooklyn out.

Because making a blockbuster trade with New York ruins our cap for the next few years on two guys who aren't good enough to be paid as handsomely as they are.

Here's a link to the radio to interview. I haven't listened to it yet, so I don't know if it confirms the above tweet.
