Dwight Howard Is Arriving...You Heard It Here First!


Yes, it makes total sense and must be considered as the leading possibility for Dwight Howard's services. Recent history clearly demonstrates that if your star player doesn't renegotiate a new contract in his final year, then he is as good as gone. Orlando, in spite of owner's wishes, are well aware of this and are keeping things mum until the right moment. I am sure covert negotiations are going on between Orlando and one or two unexpected teams, such as the Celtics.

I am convinced knowing Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers and the way they think, that there this is a real possible play for Dwight Howard and that it is being discussed and held in complete secrecy. It only makes sense!

Please have a look at following Dwight Howard trade possibility: Dwight Howard Trade

Boston is trading their only star player with significant value to Orlando. That player is of course Rajon Rondo! Magic starts their rebuilding with some good pieces such as Ryan Anderson and of course Rajon Rondo. Along with Rajon, we ship them JaJuan Johnson, an attractive PF/C with a very nice upside, also E'Twaun Moore to provide backup minutes at PG position and Jermaine O'Neil to fill in at the Center position for this season and his expiring contract. Naturally, our two 2012 1st round picks would be shipped along with another 1st round pick to be shipped to them in the next 3 years.

Orlando does this trade because they start rebuilding with a star PG in Rondo and a future star in PF Ryan Anderson. Orlando then trades Jameer Nelson to the Los Angeles Lakers for their Lamar Odom trade exception. A welcome financial relief next year! The only bad contract remaining on the Magic will be Hedo Turkoglu....perhaps he can be traded along with a 1st round pick for an expiring deal somewhere?

Boston does it because Dwight becomes the cornerstone of the Celtics going forward and puts us is a great position this year for banner 18. During Rajon's injury this season, we learnt that with a combination of PG's Avery Bradley and Keyon Dooling along with Paul Pierce playing Point Forward, the Celtics looked damn good!

Beware the Ides of March folks...Danny will make this happen, I just have this premonition! This trade just make so much sense for all concerned. Oh I almost forgot, the 2nd best thing about this trade....we would be in a position with the cap room in summer of 2012 to sign free agent Deron Williams!!!! Imagine that, both Dwight Howard and Deron Williams are a real possibility. I love Dominoes!

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

if we want dwight we wait until free agency simple as that. if we trade for him there is no way to be sure that he signs a long term deal at the end of the season

if we wait until free agency

we will be able to put together a very attractive package Rondo pierce bradley moore johnson two first round picks and a second round pick maybe bass plus his choice of a free agent and we could try to resign jeff green allen and garnett

I’ve been trying to say that all year. But then everyone keeps throwing out these nash for rondo trades..or sessions is better than rondo.

D. Ainge is setting up a very young team.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Wilcox return next year. He is hustling.

I think green resigns, ray and kg vet minimum. Add Howard to rondo, pierce, Johnson, 2 picks, Moore Bradley. Pietrus, stiemsma.

I think sasha, daniels & dooling are out to make room for Howard and the picks.

2 questions:

1. How do you know Howard wants to be here; we are not on his “list?”

2. Wouldn’t Nets trade Deron if they don’t get Howard?

Thanks in advance.

by florida dodger on Feb 12, 2012 3:13 PM EST reply actions  

i dont think the list is that set in stone
he wants big market championship team

and if deron and dwight make it to free agency its both or nothin for the nets

by JuJuan some moore on Feb 12, 2012 3:23 PM EST up reply actions  

not so fast

so i guess we want to be like the knicks and give up half the team for howard no thanks its either he signs with us as a free agent or no deal the next rumor is going to be we trade the big 3 plus rondo for jeremy lin and steve novak .

Yes. I agree.

Everything in this post will come true just because you have a “feeling” that it will happen. Sarcasm

Lol, awful post.
Dwight isn’t coming here regardless, and definitely not without Rondo.
Salaries dont match so that deal doesn’t work anyway, and AB, Dooling and a bit of Pierce didn’t have us looking “good”, we beat a bunch of shitty teams that’s all (yes the Magic were shitty).

Howard Deal

Forget it. Celtics are shipping too much for one center. IT IS A BAD DEAL.

by TSV on Feb 13, 2012 7:25 AM EST reply actions  

NO Sir

Wait til free agency. Howard is good but 1)Not good enough to give up that much for and 2) wouldn’t part of the appeal for DH be playing with a PG like Rondo?
