Dwight Howard

[superb1]

This little whiny brat now says he wants to stay in Orlando for the season. (no link needed, it is all over the place) I know I should not be surprised but maybe this helps our cause if he stays. It gives the Nets time to shred cap space. Can we say bye bye, Doris. The anticipation is killing me. I wonder if the kryptonite that Bismack slapped on him wore off and that is why he is staying longer. lol

he is so tiresome. i tell my wife he is the person on facebook who says in their profile that they "hate drama" or are "so tired of the people who cause drama in their life". 99 out of 100 times they love drama and are the cause of the drama in their life. hey dwight, if you want to concentrate on playing basketball and having fun rather than questions about your future, tell the media what you really want to do! if you want to stay, announce you are resigning. if you want to go, say you will not resign and ask for a trade!

and please, please shut up until you have at least one reliable post move (you are afterall the best center in basketball) and can make a freakin free throw.

Him staying for the season in Orlando is best for us. It frees up the Nets to make the deal with Charlotte for Diaw and gives us the Houston pick. They do need to free up space to sign Howard. If the Magic were to trade Howard to the Nets now, all bets are that the 1st rounders they have would need to go to Orlando. But since they would still need cap space, dealing with us may still be a necessity either way. Still, the way it seems to be working out is in our favor.

He reminds me of the person that Chris D'elia describes at the beginning....lol

I dont like Dwight, never have. Dude is corny and a fraud. Rewind 2 years ago, Dwight bashes LeBron for "chasing a title" in Miami and claims "he wants to bring a title to Orlando" and doesnt want to leave the team that drafted him. Now here he is 2 years later attempting to do the same thing. His "I want to stay thru the season" act is him begging for free agency while making no promises to Orlando. It also helps out his future team by not having to give anything up to get him. Dwight is leaving to play in NY and enhance his "brand". He sees the LeBrons, Kobes, and Roses cashing in on theirs in big glamorous markets and he wants the same for himself. How else you explain him wanting to play for a crappy franchise like the Nets? A championship is secondary to this cat, and he lacks the game to get it done anyway. He only plays smart inspired ball when he faces a LeBron team, then lays down for everyone else (Lakers, Celtics, Hawks).

I've said it before, the thing that irritates me the most about Dwight is, as KT said, he is a fraud. But for several reasons. Mine goes back to reading a piece on him when he was in high school in which he said that he wanted to be a pastor and would use basketball as his platform to preach. Fast forward years later, he knocked up a Magic cheerleader and doesn't want to take responsibility for the child, he hangs out with pornstars, and not just any pornstars, some extremely trashy and used up ones (Mary Carey), and then this. It's not our place to judge others IMO, I'm far from perfect, but I don't pretend to be.

To me, you have to try to live up to your word and he's never done that in any facet that I've observed. The way he's handled this is disgusting. I don't really care for SVG, but I think he's a pretty good coach who wrongly got the axe in Miami so Patty R could put another ring on his finger. So, for Dwight to constantly mock him and then have rumors of ownership offering him the chance to decide his fate, that is a joke. Dude is a cornball and IMO, he's not really all that great either. His game is garbage. He can rebound, but his offense is a joke. Most of his points come off dunks and put backs. He still hasn't developed an offensive game and the only reason he excels is because there isn't another big man that can match his athleticism - well, at least until Biyombo got here, lol.

Anyway, I hope the Magic trade him and get something back. To be so manipulative to the point that you ask them to let you stay and "roll the dice" so you can leave and they get nothing in return is despicable.

ESPN is now reporting that the Magic front office is pissed because they feel that Dwight is trying to manipulate the situation (stay for the year then sign with NJ so NJ does not have to trade all of thier assets away). Supposedly the NETS want Dwight before the deadline and Orlando is trying to create a bidding war with NJ, NY, and LA..which I guess has probably been going on for months now.

Anyway, the article says orlando and nj are looking for a third party and mentions Charlotte and Boris Diaw again.

Only reason I post this is because it it reaffirms the previous rumors of doris miaow to NJ.

[Proudiddy]

YES! We need to do it.

Now the only thing that worries me is that rumors are out there that the Knicks might be interested in a Chandler/Melo for Howard deal.

yep. "I want to be a preacher"... fast forward 3 years, he's in a pornstars bathroom UNINVITED with his pants down begging. Dude is a fraud, and not good enough to warrant the attention Orlando is giving him. They are bending over backwards, offering to give him hiring/firing power over GM and Coach, WTF? They should trade him now while they have the chance, but I kind of hope they don't. They are in our division, so if Howard walks, I get to hate him and at the same time not worry about Orlando being good anymore.

[ND22]

Yeah, I'm done with Dwight. Used to find him funny, but it is clear he is a fraud. I think even Orlando fans want him gone.
