Great footnote, truth bomb imo for everyone here.
We don't technically have a thread that discusses all the incredibly ing re ed Dwight is doing right now, and I figured he'll be a hot topic for a while, so here we go.
latest story
Sources: Dwight Howard wants trade
Dwight Howard met with new Orlando Magic general manager Rob Hennigan on Friday and told him he wants to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Howard and Hennigan sat down face to face in Los Angeles, meeting for the first time since Hennigan became Orlando's GM nearly two weeks ago.
Hennigan was noncommittal when Howard told him he wants to be traded to Brooklyn, sources said.
Hennigan did not tell Howard whether he would trade him. His intentions were merely to hear the thoughts of the Magic superstar.
Howard picked up the option for the final year of his contract with Orlando on March 15. But since then, he has grown increasingly disgruntled with the organization, even telling people close to him that he feels the Magic blackmailed him into signing the "opt-in" clause.
Howard shared his feelings of being blackmailed by the Magic with the NBA Players Association last week, sources said. He -- either himself or through his representatives -- approached the union wondering if he might have a legal complaint against the club.
The goal of such a complaint would be to eliminate his "opt-in," thereby allowing Howard to become a free agent this summer.
Sources said the union has no plans to pursue any such legal action against the Magic.
Friday was not the first time Howard asked the Magic to trade him. In December, before the lockout-shortened season began, he asked Orlando to deal him to the Nets.
Howard never rescinded his trade offer, even after picking up his option on the day of the trade deadline.
After undergoing surgery on his back in April, Howard asked then-Magic GM Otis Smith to trade him to the Nets, according to sources. Smith said he would seek a trade, but the Magic fired Smith shortly after the season ended.
Dwight back in February:
“I apologize for this circus I have caused to the fans of our city,” he said. “They didn’t deserve none of this.”“I’m too loyal,” Howard said. “I’ve always believed loyalty is above everything.”"Man, listen, you know my heart, my soul and everything I have is in Orlando," Howard told RealGM. "I just can't leave it behind."I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart. I will do whatever I can to make this right and do what I was put in Orlando to do."blackmailed?"This has been a very hard time," Howard said. "For me, my family and all of us. The fans deserve a better hero and I will make that happen. I love and appreciate my fans and this city."

I like his sincerity, hugging Van Gundy in a press conference after talking crap behind his back. What a tool. I almost prefer Bynum to his ass at this point. Unrelatedly, I was shocked to check out draft express and find the true heights of players. Howard is only 6-9 without shoes, and he's supposed to be the best center in the league. LOL. He's short.

Y! Sources: The Orlando Magic have decided to begin engaging in trade discussions for Dwight Howard. http://tinyurl.com/7cxpdod
Lulz.
KG and TD tower over him?
Bout damn time.
Vote for Avante.
I'm going to die laughing when he gets traded to New Orleans for Eric Gordon.
The Hornets are going to be way, way better with this trade. But New Orleans definitely needs aChristian figure

Yeah, I would actually love that trade if I'm Howard. Christian Kemp + Unibrow patrolling the lane?
Then all of a sudden the Rivers pick becomes a great move too. Gordon won't give a as long as Orlando pays his ass.
If I was the Magic, I'd be more inclined to trade Dwight to the Bobcats for a real life bobcat than to trade him to Brooklyn for their best offer. This dude on the entire organization, there's no way I'd give him what he wants. Melo got lucky that NYK had a king's ransom stashed away for a rainy day. Dwight doesn't realize how different these two cases are.
I wouldn't trade Howard until the Nets had locked in someone like Wallace or Johnson to ensure he couldn't just sign there next summer. Wait until Brooklyn moves on and then dump his ass to some team that's equally ty in comparison to the Magic.
Yes TD at 6-11 and KG at 7-0 without shoes!
Send that mother er to Milwaukee and finally get Monta Ellis like they talked about at the deadline. Send him to Phoenix for Nash and at least get some ticket sales from classy white undersized point guard. Send him to Charlotte for MKG and have a ing future. Send him to Utah where he can be scared of the Mormons (dude seems like a fundamentalist, and they hate the LDS).
That would be funny, but the Bobcats have nothing. I mean nothing...no wins, no trading pieces, no value, no use, no point in existing.
They could trade him to the Spurs. Too bad he only wants to play for the Nets.
lol the world loyalty being misused here...how come he didnt show any for the 5 women with 5 diff children to him....lol fake ass christian
Dude, MKG murders anything the Nets could trade. Biyombo probably beats anything the Nets could trade too.![]()
Ahhh come on guys...lay off Dwight...this is getting pretty ridiculous...the guy is not a bad guy...he's never been arrested, doesn't mess with drugs, he entertains the white media to their hearts delight, and he gives back to the community...he's pretty much done everything that white society has asked of him..no corn-rows, no wild ass tattoos all over his body, no cussing people out and acting like a thug...he's a good guy...his only sin is the different baby mammas but it's not like he's a burden on the welfare system..he pays for those kids..he's like any other red blooded American male who loves sex...sorry if some of you can't relate to that..his only other sin is not packing jimmy hats when he's acting the part of Conan the Pussy Destroyer...
I just feel you guys are being overly sensitive as usual...stop being jealous and spiteful of the rich black athlete..they're hear to stay so get over it already...
If Dwight wants to go to NJ to never win a le then let him be on his way in piece...
