Sure he is the best center in the league by far but he is a terrible teammate and is proving to be a pretty sketchy person in general. Get him the hell away from this franchise forever. Please.

Sorry, I missed the rest of your post when I realized you had answered your own question.

Mhectorgato is right. That isn't funny anymore BMP. You can stop anytime you would like.

Hey, if people can post from sources that are obviously not true, then I can post from mine that are more likely to be true.

How well are people received if they post quotes from the fake Brousard?

Aren't they repeated told that they are not worthy of posting?

Feel free to keep posting your own fake tweets, just don't expect it to have the effect you hope for.

That he's a follower and not a leader. And if he goes to the Rockets, even with Jeremy Lin and even if they get another star in 2013 they won't go anywhere with Dwight at the helm. He even said he wouldn't even call him a superstar, especially after all of this drama.

Jordan Schultz ‏@206Child

A source close to Dwight Howard tells me that Dwight is fully prepared to sit out the entire 2012-13 season in Orlando.

God damn.

Well as long as he does not up here in Houston. I am hoping the Rockets front office will see the light on Howard.

Not being a leader, and being a follower, doesn't mean the guy isn't a superstar. otherwise, i tend to agree.

If you are Hennigan/the Magic/Magic Fans this is the best side effect you can have on Dwight. You do not have to say a word or do a thing. The longer this saga last the longer Dwight looks worse and worse.

You cannot put words back in your mouth when you say it. When a MAN says he is going to "end the circus" and "do what he was put in Orlando to do" then does everything the opposite bringing down the team, fans & the city. OMG you get what you deserve and that is way worse the LBJ did to Cleveland and no one ever thought anyone would ever be worse than LBJ.

This is also a reason I hope he is traded to the Lakers, because I truly do not believe they will have what it takes to win it all. Every player on the Thunder is better than what the Lakers have for the long run. Not to mention they have played together longer than a combo of Nash/Dwight/Kobe, and if NBA logic is the rule of thumb here, they will need time to gel. The Celtics got lucky because of the commitment the big 3 possessed. In Dwights case, he will be a distraction all year to any team he goes to if he does not pledge his allegiance to the new team, but even then because of his flip flopping no one will believe him and thus the circus just moves from Orlando to another town.

I'm not buying the sit out rumor. Dwight wanted Brooklyn because it was a home run career decision. Superman in the Big City? Cha-ching. But there being more to the story than just a career decision? I'm not buying it. I think the smart money is on Dwight staying in Orlando, and that right now Orlando is trying to manipulate an extension. Even if they don't get it, where is he going to go, and for less money? Where is here, for max money.

he will go to another city, get endorsements and lose approx $7mil after he gets his next contract. He feels wronged by the team and he will leave.

@sluhm: Jazz assistant Jeff Hornack has been told he will not be the new head coach at Orlando. More to come.

cb1115 · Post #557 » by **cb1115** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:06 pm

@sluhm: Hornacek says Magic officials didn't say who they were hiring.

fixed. I put a lot of this on Fegan essentially jostling him into a corner.

Is it Dwight's intent to completely **** up his career? lol

What the hell happened to this guy? Assuming latest reports are true... which they very well may not be.

My Tweet was true. Magic would fine or suspend Dwight if he doesn't report to practice or play in games.
