08:04 AM ET 07.25 | Ready for another year of this? Here's an update for all of you who want to gag upon hearing another Dwight Howard scenario: Tough luck. A source told Sheridan Hoops that trade talks involving Howard, which the Orlando Magic just put on hold, could go on all summer -- of 2013. The Magic seemed ready to take the best current offer ... but are now determined to draw out the process in hope of getting better offers. ESPN's Chris Broussard reported Tuesday that the Magic has told teams it will not move Howard now. Our source said new GM Rob Hennigan has decided that getting the best deal is the priority. That includes the possibility of bringing back Howard for a second season-long distraction.

Ship his wide-open mouthed butt over to Turkey, then he can be the top dog and win a title (maybe)

It's too late for that. It would have served him well had he gone, though.

Looks like the Magic need to keep Howard for now. I don't think his value will improve much in the next year. The current situation of teams needing to trade for Howard and then re-sign looks to be too much of a hurdle. Keep him for a year, and then just go straight to signing him as a FA or a sign and trade.
