Hey Orlando– talk Dwight into signing an extension with Denver, and you can have most of the Melo trade package. . . plus Nene.

Dwight Howard wants to be in Brooklyn playing with Deron Williams cuz he feel its gives him best chance to win a title maybe not dis year of course but next year he believe the city of Brooklyn will attract free agents if he and d-will sign long term,big market,more endorsement,a gm like billy king that will allow him and d-will involved in team personal discussion (like which players go get in trades )d-will and d12 will be co gm to billy king and nets organization,cap space in the summer of 2012 unlike like the lakers and mavs d12 wants to be the man in a big city like new york(d-will will take a back seat like amare did when melo join the Knicks. even tho knicks are #1 team in nyc d12 and dwill believe they can turn the nets into Giants vs Jets rivalry or LA Clippers east(cp3 and Blake change da F**kin clippers into championship caliber team that why I believe d12 will end up playing with nets weather he traded there or signing with them through free agency

(I’m a Laker fan)…part of me wishes Howard would just stay at Orlando, let them rebuild/add pieces around him and do their best to win a title. It’s fair to the city of Orlando and it would give him a solid legacy.
I think all “transcendent” players (there are only a handful in the league) need to take that approach. Let’s face it, the flak/criticism LeBron received going to Miami will forever “tarnish” his legacy. I even think even if the Heat do win multiple titles, he will never be looked at with the same regards as guys like MJ, Kobe, Bird, Magic, etc…
IMO…there’s an unspoken rule about these transcendent players, is that they all need to pave their own path, to avoid critcism. Sure, if a team ends up with 2 at one time, it can work (Shaq/Kobe or MJ/Pippen…no one really knew how good Kobe was going to be…and the same can be said for Pippen when he got drafted by the Bulls) but the Heat situation seemed so “forced” or faked or whatever…
I guess my rant is that the league would be better off if the transcendent guys lead their own teams…with that said, Dwight, just stay in Orlando…they want to win down there.

At least the Maserati exists. A bunch of could-be all-stars and Draft picks for Howard? Not so much.
