The indecision known as Dwight Howard is going to play his ball in Orlando this fall/winter as the Magic were unable to get the deal done with the only team Howard will be willing to sign long term with which is the Brooklyn Nets (formerly of New Jersey) by the trade deadline put in place by the Nets. It is unlikely that any team will be willing to give up a tone to get Superman out of Orlando at this time without an agreed to extension and that would only happen if some team goes out and trades for D Will (Dreon Williams)who just signed a 5 year 98 million dollar contract with the Nets and will not be going anywhere anytime soon.
So it will be very interesting in Orlando to see how Superman (Dwight Howard) will be received by the Magic fans like will it be like business like usually and then near the end of the 2012-2013 will they start turning on him. Will he want to put in the effort on the court or will he get another phantom injury like he did at the end of last season when his plans to replace Jeff Van Gundy as head coach and then Van Gundy turns around and throws him under the bus when he to the media said that Howard had tried to get him fired just before Howard came into do his presser and then was gone for the season.
Another question will be when will the trade talk heat up again as it will diffidently be happen around the trade deadline in mid-march and it will be the same old thing will he or won't he allow himself to be traded and if so will he allow himself to be a rental player.
A few this we do know is that in about 365 days Dwight Howard will be a very rich man as apart of the Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov will make sure his carrier pigeons do their job this time unlike the Nuggets deal or now the Magic deal. Also the Brooklyn will be a contender in the Atlantic division this season without Superman as D Will has Joe Johnson who if he is focus can be a beast and Gerald Wallace who is a monster on D and that ugly step son Brook Lopez (who has been traded to almost eveyone under the sun will be back for the time being) as he signed a 4 year/60 million dollar deal and don't forget Kris Humphries who had a break out season last year.
This Brook Lopez signing is absolutely crazy as there were reports in the media today that both the Charlotte Bobcats and the Portland Trailblazers who just got tried of waiting around to see which team would end up with Lopez said that they would both sign him to a max deal and just destroy any deal as a player who have had their offer sheet matched by their current team can not be trade again for a certain amount of time.
Howard is coming to Brooklyn and the nets will replace the Celtics as the team to beat in the Atlantic division
