    Don't know how reliable this guy is:

    Magic reportedly "very close" to Howard trade
    Orlando fans say this reporter is hit or miss.

    I'd feel better about the report if he could spell "imminent".

    I believe Pingalore is the guy who reported that Dwight went to management and asked for SVG to be fired... and Dwight referenced him in that awkward video, saying, "Is Ping here today?" I believe.

    These types of reports will be around everyday until this damn issue gets resolved.

    Dwight is a friggin drama queen. Damn I'll be glad when it's over whether he's in H-Town or not.

    Ray Allen now goes to the Heat and maybe Howard ends up with the Lakers... seems like that stupid CBA hasnt done the slightest bit to stop superteams.

    Clutch... have you not gotten a sense of frustration from the Rockets organization after seeing how all these stars flock to just a couple of teams?

    There must be quite a few pissed off owners out there.

    Normally, news of a possible Dwight, Nash and Kobe team would worry me, but man we drafted some pretty good sized players. We have some pretty good big men now. Bring them on!

    I haven't talked to anyone specifically about that, but I'm sure they're frustrated that they're not one of those teams. They are anxious to get in the mix here and be a top free agent location once again.

    We all know Howard is not a good shooter. Maybe Royce can keep him out of the paint like Chuck used to sometimes. I am also liking the matchup between Pau and Jones.

    If the Rockets are involved I can only see them getting Pau out of this.

    Lakers: Dwight, Scola, Richardson
    Magic: Bynum, Parsons, Martin
    Rockets: Pau, Davis

    There was rumor/magic insider who during the All Stars had a friend involved (Parsons was the speculated player) who didn't have the full details but knew Parsons and Martin would be pieces to Orlando.

    Hedo has a partially guaranteed contract after this season. Richardson and Davis are the longer term contracts the Magic could move if they were salary dumping.
