    Very difficult decision, but I say: "no". I don't think Howard is the right superstar for one. How come he could not attract other stars to Orlando? As a center he can't create for himself like the superstars who usually carry their teams to the title. Remember Hakeem needed the perimeter guys to get him the ball.

    I am tired of one year "assets" and would like to see some continuity.

    I don't want one year of Howard drama and if he leaves it would be delay rebuilding by several years.

    I agree, i want our young guys to develop. I'm not sold on Howard as the key stone to a championship team.

    Dwight Howard weighs less, is 9 inches taller.

    Basketball is an entertainment business. The point is to sell tickets. You can do it by offering the vicarious experience of winning or offering the chance to see sports celebrities.

    We are probably closer to offering celebrity.
