    Dwight Howard finally got his wish a few weeks ago, as the disgruntled center got the Orlando Magic to trade him to a contender, which were the Los Angeles Lakers.

    As for former NBA player Charles Oakley, he thinks the Magic handled this situation incorrectly. Like the kid Howard is, Oakley believes the Magic should've treated him like one and "put him in a time-out."

    “A lot of guys cry in this league these days. I try not to get caught up in that. The management in Orlando let him get away with it. Most times, they put kids in timeout. They never put him in timeout. He just kept crying and got his way, " Oakley said on ESPN Radio. "Now he’s in LA with Kobe (Bryant) so they got a chance to win a couple championships in the next two or three years.

    “They could have traded him and got something better for him last year. I think they just tried to play along. They just pleased him anyway they could but he never did anything to please them.”

    Oakley is right on the money with his comment. Howard did get what he wanted. It was just a poor way of handling a situation like this and that is exactly what Orlando did.
