Next stop for Dwight Howard
Dwight Howard wants out of Orlando. That is a fact not an opinion. According to Mr. Howard the only way he will remain with the Orlando Magic franchise is if they either A) Win a championship or B) Put championship caliber players around him. Neither is likely with Miami Heat Machine oiled up and running, and the Bulls knocking on their door to win the eastern conference. Both teams are young and lets not forget about the talented squad the New York Knick's have put together.
As far as the Orlando front office signing any marquee players, that's just not going to happen for two reasons. The first being that there is no guarantee to anybody that Dwight Howard will remain in Orlando even if they do come. The second being that Orlando has a ton of bad contracts and therefore no money to spend.
A move to the Lakers wouldn't suprise anyone and would set them up for a nice run at the title...it's a little too easy to imagine and therefore I have doubts about that trade happening for the simple fact that Andrew Bynum would almost certainly be out of a Lakers uniform.
A more intriguing trade would be Dwight to the Bulls with the Magic getting Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer in return. That would ensure some pressure being lifted off of Derrick Rose, and It would give the Dwight the high caliber teammate he's looking for. A similar move would be Dwight to New Jersey to play with Deron Williams. The Nets are moving to Brooklyn and that would be a great market for someone with Dwight Howard's personality. It might be the best move considering that the Nets would still have cap space for another high caliber player as well as a young Marshon Brooks and Brook Lopez to develop.
sincerely, Led Ramses
