Dwight Howard: "I'll only resign with one team."

[Richesly]

Where is LelBron when you need him?

[blacknapalm]

this was pretty well known.

man, his teammates must be unbelievable baffled and disappointed right now

[Xiao Yao You]

Play the market? Why should he give up his free agency so the Magic for the benefit of the Magic? He's played up to his contract, and earned his free agency. He shouldn't be forced to go somewhere he doesn't want to.

Nets won't have the money for him if he plays out his deal. We'll see how much he wants to play in Brooklyn for the mini MLE next year.

[outbreak]

Because the team forced him to, or else they were going to send him to the Lakers. I thought that was obvious by now.

Your point? If he still wanted to be a free agent why wouldn't he just goto the lakers then be a free agent after the season? If the lakers demand he signs a new contract before they make a deal he can always refuse that and orlando would have to look for another partner. You don't opt in then whinge and complain and demand trades right away because you now have to wait another year for free agency. He had a chance at free agency and he chose to give it up. Be a man, play out the year then get your god damn free agency.

If he is only willing to sign a deal with Brooklyn, then I REALLY HOPE that Houston finds a way to trade for him. That would teach him a lesson. Thereafter, he is free to go to Brooklyn.

[DTreats]

I guess the Lakers don't even have to send Bynum now, seeing as the Lakers are the only team Dwight wants. Gasol for Dwight, and then Bynum, World Peace to the Knicks for Lin, Melo and Novak.

Lin | Blake
Bryant | Goudelock
Anthony | Novak
McRoberts | Bass
Howard | Hill

Nets will have moved on by then, this is why he's acting crazy now.

I dont think LeBron knew he wanted to leave until very close to The Decision. Dwight is just being unreal right now. How anyone can not dislike him is amazing. I don't care how emotionally conflicted he is he's being a spoiled child. If he knew he wanted Brooklyn (he did) he should have allowed them to trade him to LA and just not picked up his option.

LA would never trade for Dwight if they didn't have him signing an extension BEFORE the trade became official.

[Sarcastic]

Because he already waived his opt out clause. It's one thing to ask for a trade like Melo and stick to it, it's another thing to opt in and then want a trade again afew months later. Just becomes a shambles even if the club is trying to move you.

He only opted in so that he wouldn't get traded to the Lakers.

He does not want to be Shaq 2.0, and will never wear a Laker jersey.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

Agree! Banish him from team Starbury style.

I agree and I wish Devos has the ball to do it...

Son of a b!tch...I want him to stay away from the lakers... Forget Bynum I am not even trading pau for this chump

[TMT]

He might have to retire or play for the mid level exception if the Joe Johnson deal goes down.

Makes no sense. They won't even come close to dealing for JJ if they know they are Dwight's only desired destination. This would have to be a situation where they know the door is 100% closed on landing Dwight.

[Hedo15]

Makes no sense. They won't even come close to dealing for JJ if they know they are Dwight's only desired destination. This would have to be a situation where they know the door is 100% closed on landing Dwight.

is it possible they are trying to get JJ to pass on to Orlando with Lopez. They get Dwight and Hedo back?? Just a thought

[Xiao Yao You]

Makes no sense. They won't even come close to dealing for JJ if they know they are Dwight's only desired destination. This would have to be a situation where they know the door is 100% closed on landing Dwight.

Not if it means losing Deron in the process. The Joe Johnson deal is to intice Deron into staying. Deron doesn't want to wait til next summer and endure another shitty year with scrubs.

[Sarcastic]

Nets won't have the money for him if he plays out his deal. We'll see how much he wants to play in Brooklyn for the mini MLE next year.

Why not? They only have $17 million on the books so far next year, and $4 million for 2014. If they know Dwight is on his way for 2014, they'll leave space open for his contract.

go away dwight u sack of shit
