Basically if they don't trade him they would probably be eliminated in the first round this year and won't make the playoffs for the next 5-6 years.

According to the New York Post, Carmelo Anthony demanded urgent trade from the Knicks before the trade deadline on Thursday. Anthony “told a confidant he preferred to be traded before Thursday’s trade deadline”.

After New York Post published that news, the New Jersey Nets already answered about possible acquiring of Carmelo Anthony. The Nets are even ready to trade Deron Williams who still has not committed to a contract extension while ‘Melo has 3 years on his contract left.

Heard a cool Derrick story that dovetails nicely with the piece I wrote for this AM: I went to McDonald's near the Berto for breakfast cashier (who was in shock that she met him) said he apparently held up line, apologized by paying for the food of the people he delayed Twitter

Magic To Seek Trade Without Commitment From Howard
Mar 14, 2012 2:12 PM EDT


The Magic plan on trading Dwight Howard if they do not receive a commitment from him beyond the current season, according to sources.

"Dwight's dreaming if he thinks Orlando won't trade him without a commitment,'' a source said. "He needs to make some small commitment to them. They're saying it can't be one way.''

Orlando is convinced Howard is attempting to manipulate the situation. Sources say the Magic are incensed with Dan Fegan, who represents Howard, and is the driving force behind his push to leave the team.

Reports emerged on Tuesday that Howard hoped to sign with the Nets outright in free agency in order to allow his new team to retain their assets.

The Magic have told the Nets and Lakers, amongst other teams, to begin bidding for Howard.

The Nets are hoping to trade for Howard, which would bring certainty to their situation as the Mavericks remain a threat for Howard and Deron Williams.

The Lakers remain interested in Howard, though they have been more active in pursuing a trade of Pau Gasol and to add a point guard.

Orlando is interested in a trade with the Knicks for Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler, according to sources. New York has discussed the deal internally but have been given no assurance Howard would remain with the team in the long-term.

Howard Confirms He Wants To Finish Season With Magic
Mar 13, 2012 11:18 PM EDT

Dwight Howard addressed his future with the media following Orlando's overtime win over the Heat.

A report from Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski indicated Howard's preference is to remain with the Magic through the end of the season and then sign with the Nets in July.

"I've been telling them for the past two or three weeks now that I want to stay and finish the season," said Howard.

"I told them that I want to finish this season out and give our team and fans hope for the future. I feel they have to roll the dice."

Howard said he expects to finish the season with Orlando.

"I think we can make a run."

Magic May Be Leaning Toward Trading Howard
Mar 13, 2012 5:19 PM EDT


The Magic are beginning to realize that their best course of action is to trade Dwight Howard and the Nets have emerged as the most likely trading partner, according to sources.

Otis Smith was actively making calls on Tuesday to find the best offer, but sources say he has not informed teams of Orlando's intentions.

The Warriors and Rockets remain the most serious teams willing to trade for Howard without an assurance he will re-sign.

The Lakers have also been on Howard's list of preferred destinations, but remain on the outer edges of talkes even though sources say they shouldn't be ruled out.
