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

The Master Mind That is Floyd Mayweather Jr
Alot of people do not understand the mindset of Floyd Mayweather, but I feel I do. Boxing is the ultimate warrior sport and it's not in the nature of any true warrior to be dominated by anyone in any avenue of life, most of all the battlefiled. That is why I get that Floyd Mayweather will not fight Manny Pacquiao until Pacquiao agrees to take the random drug test the way Floyd Mayweather wants him to. I know Pacquiao fans usaually get belligerent around that statement, but lets be serious here. The drug test are THE only reason this fight has not and/or will not happen. Money Mayweather is undefeated and Pacquiao has been knocked out a couple of times,and that statement while true, is neither here nor there.....
Any way if Pacquiao is not on the juice then Im hard pressed to find a reason why he would not consent to the test, the same test Mayweather himself will be taking, so he could go ahead end all this doubt. This is my personal view. And as far the critics who say "Floyd is a coward because if he wasn't he would just forget the test and fight anyway" STFU! you wouldnt believe how many times I hear this on a given day and it gets dumber everytime i hear it. Why on earth would a man who is undefeated and with all the leverage in the world surrender that pivotal battle just to hop in the ring for the sake of misguided fans?
Only an idiot would capable of making that blunder, and unfortunately most athletes are....not quite able to deal with that type of situation which Is why I applaud Mayweather's intelligence and resilience to public opinion. Like a great general Floyd understands that even though the public will not understand or agree with the tactics needed to win the war, he must not waver on them. And for this I applaud you floyd Mayweather, a true rock in a world full of marshmallows when it comes to dealing with the media and rabid fans alike
