    I meant they stay longer than a year (if that's their contract). Howard played with Orlando for 8 years. His camp has said he would leave us after 1.

    You ask a good question. The answer from the Dwight camp is: "Dwight doesn't want to be a bad guy"

    I feel you dog. I want to swing for the fences too. We could trade for a top 5 pick, or clear cap room and sign one of these divas for 5+ years.

    ...and that is why Orlando holds on to him.No way they come in and move Howard,first week on the job.I think they do everything possible to convince him he belongs in Orlando.

    lol i dont buy it

    and if his back injury is worse then they let on, he doesn't get a contract

    He wants the large contract first and foremost but will be ok to play for another team

    btw there's lots to love about Utah, but I will take any suggestions to help arrange a different outcome for that Stockton shot in 97

    that's funny, but sorry i meant they stay for an extended period of time. lebron and melo both were obligated to stay with their teams for at least 7 years (2 from the draft and 5 from contract signings). dwight has the free right to walk from houston in 1 year if this rental trade goes through.

    who knows what's going to happen though. maybe DM will acquire DH and flip him for a bigger fish (???). I can't wait until tonight!

    I'm not convinced he's going to stay either. I was against it initially. However, there is a chance he'll stay if the team becomes a contender. Obviously that would require morey to land another impact player and keep or land a third. Then, the team would still need help around those guys. It won't be easy, but he's easily accumulated more trade bait than any other team and that gives him a chance. If he pulls that off, why on earth would deron and DH leave? The world would turn on them worse than they did with Lebron.

    Even if they leave, we'll be forced into "tanking", which sucks, but would gives us high picks for a year or two.
