I don't trust Dwight. He's got Fegan in his ear telling him exactly what to say and do.

Trade his ass.

Sources. :roll:


A "source" privy to the exact words used by Dwight Howard in a private phone call between three men, no less.

It could not be more contrived. ESPN :roll:

So I assume D12 is going to wait until Jan. 15 to push for another trade, whether he's here, LA, or HOU.

also from bucher if you're listening to espn radio: dwight has rejected magic's offer to have dwight reconsider his trade request and stay here.

some pretty key details in that article. I'm sure there were only 4 people involved with that call: Rob, Alex, Dwight, & Fegan. Rob & Alex ain't leaking anything like this. Dwight isn't that smart.

Fegan is a dirty snake.

That makes no sense, why would he still want his ETO rescinded when Brooklyn can't sign him as a FA anymore?

Does he seriously want to go to the current Mavs that badly? Because that's pretty much the only team that could sign him

Anyone surprised? I'm not. For about a year now he's maintained this stance.

"I already heard that from the other guy on the phone," said Howard, according to the source.


That can't be true. :rofl:

Probably the same PR firm that the White Star Line hired after the Titanic went down.
