Dwight Howard admitted Thursday that he wanted to be traded from the Orlando Magic to the Brooklyn Nets. Howard, who was ultimately dealt to the Los Angeles Lakers, said, "I did want to go to Brooklyn. That's a place where I told the Magic that I really wanted to go," to Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco on ESPN NewYork 98.7 FM. "[But] I was traded to the Lakers, and I think it was a blessing in disguise. " … I think there's a reason why everything happened the way it happened. So far it's been an unbelievable experience for me. … It's like a dream come true." Howard endured a tumultuous final season with the Orlando Magic in 2011-12. The three-time defensive player of the year demanded a trade to the Nets at the beginning of the season, but the two sides couldn't reach a deal. Source: ESPN New York
What are the chances that he actually signs a long-term deal in LA? Personally, I think he's a perfect fit there, as long as he decides he wants to grow up. Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using Tapatalk 2
I think he will sign. Kobe will be done in a couple seasons. And, it will be Dwight's team at that point.
