So the Magic will get nothing for him. I am actually thinking that no team will give the Magic what they want. But I guess we will wait and see... Lakers don't need him. I think Bynum is a little better at least at the free throw line. Houston wants him but at what price? Who will be there to play with him? And he will not sign a long term deal with Houston either.

Talk about horrid mismanagement from the Magic!

dakine Champion Author Orange County Posts:19,744 Points:3,618,600 Joined:Feb 2003	Message Posted: Jul 19, 2012 8:43:56 AM Ignore dakine Report Abuse I just saw that Howard said that he would be willing to sign an extension if traded to the Lakers. Is Orlando willing to take on Bynum or does Cleveland or Houston need to be involved in the trade?

He will end up staying in Orlando at least this season and next season he will be unrestricted. Again Orlando should have taken the deal with the Nets earlier this summer. Waiting for the Magic fans to start burning Howard jerseys like they did James.

Looks like Howard is stuck in Orlando. [Edited by: C.S. at 7/16/2012 5:26:53 AM EST]

So the Rockets would send the Magic like 9 players plus having to cut 1 player only to receive Howard plus 3 or 4 other players back. Another offer that makes no sense at all. Magic just want too much. Should have just taken the Nets offer.

He's just too far gone. And they definitely should've taken the offer from the Nets. Now Howard's value will do nothing but go down and Orlando will eventually get a worse deal. Both sides are to blame for this mess. The Magic for holding out for too much, and Howard for waffling constantly about whether or not he wants to stay. He's now looking much worse than LeBron did when he left Cleveland. [Edited by: C.S. at 7/12/2012 12:07:36 PM EST]
