The Official Dwight Howard Everything Thread

[ZNNoble 2]

If you request a trade what are you doing exactly? Asking to be traded but for the trade to take you to Orlando? If you ask to be traded, you are requesting to leave your team. Your logic is flawed. A trade request is a public declaration you want to leave your city.

 

Players request trades all the time just to put pressure on management, doesn't mean they really want that. Its not like he's an expendable piece where they would say OK, bye. Their obviously going to find ways to keep him, unless theres absolutely no chance he's staying like Melo.

Anyone else think it would be completely awesome if they all get on the stage for the press conference and mid-presser Dwight picks up a chair smashes it over Otis, rips off his shirt to reveal a Nets jersey while NY NY plays in the background?

 

Good god! That's prokorov music! No dwight no! Basketball haas died in orlando tonight folks.

Sound like a pretty funny SNL skit.

no one will be as relieved as Jarod Rudolph when Dwight signs the waiver. His entire career was in emergency jake-brake mode for a moment last night.

We would need to have someone edit that YouTube video that they did of Lebron betraying the Cleveland Cavaliers. Just replace Lebron with Howard and Cavs with Orlando Magic and we'd be set. Beast, get on it! Oh and get a chat room too, it's almost PC time.

I kinda hope SNL does a Dwight related skit this weekend

Hahahahaa - okay, at least he'd be publicly declaring his loyalty.

Just throwing this out there. Dwight stays this year and next year. 2013 FA. Alex should just say to Dwight, take your pick of who you want to play with.

Exactly. He gets a free pass from Magic fans as soon as he signs. The National media can all blow themselves
