I doubt anyone here could give a true answer to this but my assumption is that Orlando is just sitting back and letting the Lakers and Rockets fight it out. Whoever is left standing with the best offer gets Dwight. This may turn out to be a compromise such as the rumored deal involving Dwight to LA and Bynum to Houston. Either way, it appears that most teams have folded and that includes the Brooklyn Nets.

I am checking the rumor mills as much as anyone else in anticipation of a deal but I believe Hennigan is doing the right thing in taking his time and waiting this out.

Maybe because these offers are np better that letting Dwight leave as a free agent

Dwight is in Dodgers stadium, watching the Dodgers against the Phillies.

They just showed him on the videoboard.

Apparently he will not grant any interviews.

Hardly. Letting Dwight walk leaves Orlando with all of their bad contracts and without young prospects or future draft picks.

Dwight at the Dodgers game:

Getting used to the LA lifestyle, I see.

Hey look the man with the glasses smiling is Phil Jackson trolling Orlando. He's going back to coaching LA again. 8-)

TOTALLY off topic, but I can't stop staring at this:

Los Angeles Dodgers ‏@Dodgers
Dwight Howard receives loud applause when put up on Dodger Vision. We can confirm he is a "very large" Dodger fan.

Darius Soriano ‏@forumbluegold
Does Dwight know they're no longer the Brooklyn Dodgers?

That Brooklyn Dodgers tweet was pretty funny.

I'm sorry I haven't been following the rumors but is Montejiunas off the table? He's been as good as anybody on the Rox SL squad. I would take him, Lamb and the Tor pick for Dwight and Richardson and never look back.

Hedo and Duhon aren't going to be on this team after this season one way or another. I would rather just dump the longer contract. They get the best team in the west and the Magic get 2 potential studs and another lottery pick (to go along with their own). Everybody wins.

Although Henny still needs to get rid of Redick, Nelson, Davis, & Q.Rich. Just completely cleanse this team from the stench of Otis Smith.

Today sixteen years ago, the Lakers signed Shaquille O`neal to a $120 million contract. FU Shaq.
