    whoops, forgot article:

    he Orlando Magic have begun informing teams that Dwight Howard is no longer on the trade market, two sources told ESPN.com.

    The Magic have decided that none of the various offers they've received, most notably from the New Jersey Nets and Los Angeles Lakers, is worth executing, according to sources.

    To avoid any more drama, the team is no longer taking calls on Howard, sources said.

    Earlier Wednesday, ESPN.com reported that the Nets and Magic were in "serious talks" on a deal that would make Portland Trail Blazers swingman Gerald Wallace and Nets center Brook Lopez two of the main pieces Orlando would receive in exchange for Howard.

    Typically, I am not a stickler with typos and spelling, but in this case, the title has a whole different meaning due to the typo.

    The best bet for Orlando is to kiss Dwight's butt, let him have input on the direction of the team (something he said Dirk gets) and do everything to assemble a winner this season.... then get him signed.

    The amnesty of Arenas supposedly upset Howard, but it should give them flexibility in the future.

    If there is a team behind the 8-ball to win this year it is Orlando... Rockets could possibly take advantage of that.... Scola or Martin would help them a lot.

    So that Dwight gets to be the center of attention in hosting the all star game, once they're done with that they'll trade him
