NOT AGAIN!
Dwight Howard's name is being floated around as a trading possibility again and I am sick and tired of hearing his name. Once again he has screwed up a team that eventually had to fire their coach and are now even discussing the possibility of firing their new coach Mike D'Antonie. Howard is a cancer and there is no chance that I would trade for him.
There are rumors that Howard might be traded to the Brooklyn Nets or the Los Angeles Clippers. The Nets have been on a roll since Avery Bradley was released and giving up their center Brooks Lopez is not worth the risk of Howard ruining their team dynamics because they look like one of the better teams Ianthe entire league right now and you shouldn't fix something unless its broken. As for the possibility of staying in L.A. and becoming a Clipper, there is no chance in the world I would make that move either. The Clippers
are another team that
looks unbeatable this
season and having to
give up young stars Eric Bledsoe and De'Andre
Jordan is an absolute No-No.
To add on to the fact that Howard is a cancer, there is a high likely hood that he may leave the team that trades for him anyway. He is a Free Agent at the end of this season and could decide to part with the team that gives up everything to get him.
It's a shame that I have to look at Dwight Howard like I do. I used to love the Super Man act, the bright smile, and the funny impersonations but now I just feel like he needs to grow up! He has yet to win a Championship and it's time for him to realize that people no longer want the fun and games from him, we want to see him actually lead a team to victories,
I think Howard can still have success in L.A. with Kobe and the Lakers. Howard is used to being the best player on the team with all his years in Orlando, but that isn't the case with Bryant on the team. This lineup of Nash, Kobe, Gasol, and Howard could still work and I feel like both Howard and the Lakers organization are giving up on it too early.
I find myself rooting hard against Howard just because of his immaturity in both the Orlando and L.A. situations. There aren't many players in the NBA that I really want to see fail, but Howard is now in that group. I just want this saga to end, even though it probably never will no matter where he goes.
