Magic either take Lopez or Bynum, they might not even have the leverage to ship out Turkeyglue
Magic general manager Otis Smith and coach Stan Van Gundy have known Howard the longest. They know he will leave them and they want a deal done prior to Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET trade deadline. The gulf between Martins and his basketball operations staff has become vast, full of mistrust and animosity. “Otis and Stan want the circus to end,” one source close to them said. “They want a deal.”
Martins has improved the franchise’s relationship with Howard, multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports. But as one source talking to Martins and Howard said: “That’s great, but [Dwight’s] still going to leave.”
Said another official, who has been involved in deal talks with Orlando, New Jersey and the agents in the process: “Dwight is going to [expletive] them, and that will be especially true if he doesn’t even ask for the sign-and-trade on July 1, because he wants Brooklyn to keep assets.”

So true! Magic just dug themselves into a deeper hole. Now they basically have ZERO leverage. The Nets can practically offer them Brook Lopez and a few scraps and they can either take that deal or send Dwight to any team willing to take Dwight as a rental.
Dwight said he's informed Magic he wants to stay for rest of season. Said they now must "roll the dice."
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Should be clear by now Dwight wants to finish season in ORL so he can opt out in July and head straight to Brooklyn w/out Nets being gutted
lol @ magics owner
That would be a move by Dwight if true
According to those sources, the Nets are offering Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks and two No. 1 draft picks in exchange for Howard.
The Lakers are offering Andrew Bynum, Derek Fisher and Metta World Peace (formerly Ron Artest) for Howard, Hedo Turkoglu and Chris Duhon.

Why is it a move? So he can have another supporting cast around him?
