Howard 'scared' of being traded to Rockets
ORLANDO, Fla. -
Local 6 Sports Director David Pingalore has learned new information concerning Dwight Howard's future.
Earlier a report out had Howard saying he is willing to sign a long-term extension with the Los Angeles Lakers if the Orlando Magic trade him to the team. However, his agent Dan Fagen refuted that report Thursday night.
Despite Pingalore's reports from NBA insiders who think the end game for Howard will be with the Lakers, he may have to make a brief stop along the way.
The Rockets are most likely the team the Magic will make a deal with because, as Pingalore's NBA sources told him, it's the best option now for Orlando.
As for the rumor of Lakers center Andrew Bynum going to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Howard going to LA, "put a fork in it," said one of Pingalore's sources.
The best team that Magic General Manager Rob Hennigan thinks he can make a fair deal with is the Rockets. They have picks, they have young players and they can take some of the Magic's high end contracts.
Howard saying Thursday that he would resign with the Lakers has made him "scared" of going to Houston, but the trade looks like this:
The Magic send:
Dwight Howard, Jason Richardson, Chris Duhon
The Magic get:
Chandler Parsons (F), Jeremy Lamb (G), Terrence Jones (PF), Royce White (PF), Kevin Martin (G), Toronto's draft pick 4-14th, Houston's draft pick
cant even front, thats a decent haul and they get rid of a bad contract. shyt as a laker fan all i can do is

These people suck at their job.
The reports about Dwight and the Lakers NEVER said he'd be willing to sign a long term extension with the team. The report specifically said Dwight would be willing to resign with the team AFTER the 2012-2013 season.

Orlando....
I've seen a few credible reports say they think Orlando is just jerking other teams around. They still think they can convince Dwight to stay.

The Magic are idiots. D12 value is going down by the day. They gon end up stuck with his bytch ass.
Howard won't resign in Houston so they'd be trading their whole team away for a one year rental. But if it's not Houston holding it up then this deal needs to get done.

Goes to show just how full of shyt Orlando is. The current deals being offered to them are actually better than the one they were talking to Brooklyn about.
It would not shock me if no one in the NBA signed Blatche.

In some ways, it seems like everyone involved in these potential trade talks in any way is equally guilty of

Their leverage is going down day by day. You know what I meant. The longer they hold onto his indecisive ass the less they'll get for him., ya a superstars value is going to go down day by day

I don't think that's true at all. Of the offers out there right now, which ones won't be available in January? Brooklyn will be back in the mix if it goes that far.

I doubt it. Now that this nikka is saying he's gonna pursue free agency regardless of where he's traded why would Brooklyn give up assets for him when they're a top 4 team in the east? I bet you the deal they eventually end up accepting is worse than what they could've had if they traded him on draft night.
