Magic GM: 'Six to eight' Howard suitors left

For the love of God get it over with Otis.

The Magic will most certainly not win anything remotely close to an NBA title even if Dwight does stay until June. The Magic are foolish, they seem not to want to except reality. Its simple, trade Howard and get something for him to help build your franchise. The Magic and its fan base are a buncha bleeding hearts. These people just don't get it!

Good work trying to convince him to stay so he can walk into Dallas next year.

How do you get something back in return when he will not play for the team he will be traded for unless it's the Nets, Mavs, or Lakers? The Magic don't want to get something back that will mess up their salary cap more. Teams will have to match Dwight's salary to make the trade work and there are only a few teams that can give the Magic what they want and also satisfy Dwight!

Really?

LOL!!!!

The Magic Are Done, Bros.

I was thinking the same thing. He's not fooling anyone here.

If Orlando keeps him past the deadline I will feel absolutely no pity if he walks away and leave them with nothing. They are digging their own hole.

Dwight will stay to make that 19+ for his player option. The Magic Organization are idiot and that not gonna change by next wk.

Dwight Howard will walk in July, if Orlando doesn't trade him. He's already stated that. So Orlando is altruistic if they believe otherwise. Money won't be the issue here, he wants a change of teammates and scenery.

At some point, Smith needs to realize this is a business - he's going to lose his prized asset / sales tool / star performer to the competition, the negotiation period on a new deal to keep Howard in Orlando has passed. If Smith wants to keep his job, he needs to salvage the situation and make a deal, and let the cards fall where they may. If Orlando falls to a 30-35 win team (after trading Howard), then recovers to make the playoffs the following year, Smith will likely keep his job. If they let Howard walk, without getting anything in return, and Orlando sinks to a 25 win season next year, there's no doubt Smith will face the firing that many fans feel is long overdue.
