08:15 AM ET 06.20 | Patience, Magic fans. Although the Orlando Magic's search for someone to lead their basketball operations department is entering its final stages, team officials have not offered the job to anyone yet. The three finalists -- former New Orleans Hornets GM Jeff Bower, Oklahoma City Thunder Assistant GM/Player Personnel Rob Hennigan and San Antonio Spurs Vice President/Assistant GM Dennis Lindsey -- have met with members of the DeVos family in Michigan for the final round of interviews. The final interview may have taken place this past Friday. ... All along, Magic CEO Alex Martins has said he hoped to have Smith's successor in place within seven to 10 days of the NBA draft on June 28.

What are Howard's realistic destinations?? The Nets suck so that's a moot point.
Dallas may be in play but what can they give Magic in return?
Lakers can trade Bynum or Pau for Howard

They should offer it to Howard so he can trade himself.

Damn straight!! I would not want that job. He not only has to clean up the mess that dwight Howard caused, but also has to cobnvince the same guy who started that mess in the first place.
