The Orlando Magic have told rival executives that they might not trade Dwight Howard after all, according to league sources.

An executive who has had discussions with the Magic regarding Howard said Orlando only will trade the star center in a deal that is great for the franchise. The executive said this has been Orlando's stance for the past "week or so."


Another executive who has talked with Orlando said he thinks the Magic may start the season with Howard and wait until the February trade deadline to move him.

Each executive left the door open for posturing, noting that the Magic may be bluffing in hopes of coaxing better offers out of opposing teams. But the overriding sense is that Howard may not be moved for weeks, if not months.
Posturing team is posturing. Sounds like Orlando wants to squeeze more from the trade partners, who are not giving in to their demands.

If the Rockets are to make the deal, I hope it is on their own terms. Otherwise, I'm fine with just going forward with the young guys and going after the next elite player that "shakes loose" (Kevin Love?).

Chris Broussard....

Any credibility this report might have possibly had goes straight out the window once that man is involved.

Why does any team want a player who is going to bolt at the end of the season and cost them 3/4s of their extremities?

Media Day. Barkley, Olajuwon and Pippen are asked to pose for photographs for this magazine, and the photographer is trying to set the scene. "Okay, we're welcoming Scottie to Houston," he says. "Man," says Barkley, "that $67 million didn't welcome him enough?"

Kill me now. I am too invested in this to walk away from it all, but I am going to go insane if this lasts too much longer.

It has been layed out countless times before, but I guess I will say it again.

The actual list of teams he can realistically "bolt" to is pretty short. Once you add in the difference in money that the team that trades for him can offer, the notion that he will FOR SURE walk is sort of weakened.

You know DM isn't giving up anything he doesn't want to. They can hold out for more, but I don't think they're getting it out of him.
