I think we're too good to blow our team up for one guy. I'd be seriously worried to see how much we would give up for the guy?

I also do not see him resigning with the magic. He is getting fed up with his team struggling to score 70 points.

The Magic would be dumb not to trade him before the deadline, but this process is so up in the air now that I could see the Magic getting nothing and Dwight joins Deron in Dallas.

The Bulls' best chance to get Dwight Howard would be to get a third or fourth team involved like maybe the Raptors (Bargnani to Magic) and Blazers (Batum to Chicago).

If that means bye bye to Deng....sign me up.

However batum just fucked up his knee last night..perhaps seriously..so FML.

If the Bulls were to get involved, I'd imagine they'd have to bring in at least one other team in order for them to offset not having to give up their most important assets while not completely jeopardizing the team's chemistry. If Noah keeps on his upward tick (or, at the least, back to putting up to the kind of production we've expected of him in the last few years), he would definitely be a valuable trade asset.

Orlando has made it abundantly clear that if they trade Dwight Howard, they don't want to rebuild. They want assets that can keep them competitive, because let's be honest, without Dwight's childish antics, this is still a playoff caliber team. To me, that points to us as being the most likely destination because of what we can offer in return (picks, Noah, Boozer, or even Deng, plus valuable assets like the rights to Mirotic, Asik or Gibson). It would ultimately come down to if management was willing to risk what we've built since drafting Rose on Dwight Howard. The way he's (Dwight) has acted this year just scares me. He's definitely not afraid to throw his entire team under the bus. I wouldn't want that atmosphere to follow him to Chicago.

Would I like to see him in a Bulls uniform? Eh, I guess. It'd be exciting. Is it the most likely scenario? Doubtful. I'd put us a distant third behind the Lakers and Nets. I also still think Mark Cuban is going to try and do something crafty and acquire both him and Deron Williams before the beginning of next season.

Personally, I think Howard either stays put, or ends up in New Jersey. End of story, next topic.

Whats the reason of discussing this if it is not possible to become a Bull?

If he is not coming here who cares?

Like it or not, the Bulls are in position to trade for Dwight Howard. There is a possibility that it happens. And, as fans, we should want our team to go out and get a top 5 player (more like top 3 or 4) once he is available.

Who don't want it?
The only thing i don't want is to beg for him or talking so much for him and less for the Bulls players.If he comes to the bulls it would be great.But until this happens I don't want to participate in an Oprah show for him.

That guy says he would play for the Celtics we discuss about the possibility of going there.He says that he loves Rose and we discuss about it.He says he want to go in the Nets we discuss about it.OK I admit it all this circus is better than discussing about the possibility of signing JR Smith but again no..

I mean just thinking about it from the Magic Front Office perspective. You gotta trade him or you end up with nothing. That's why I went with the Lakers. I feel like Orlando's really going to want Bynum, especially if their still trying to stay competitive, It's effectively the same team, just not quite as good, and they get a guy in Bynum they can control for another year. Bynum's the 2nd best big in the game anyways IMO, so If I'm the Magic, I send Dwight to LA. Minimize your losses. That's just what I'd do if I was calling the shots in Orlando(And wanted to stay competitive).

After the Lake Show, It could go really anyway. I'd say the next most likely destinations would be:
New Jersey(Trade)
Mavs(FA)
New York(Trade)

I just don't see him coming to the Bulls. I'd be absolutely shocked. I'm even more doubtful of Dwight joining the Clips, even though he recently added them to his exclusive "list". Definitely don't see him signing in Houston either. Not a chance he's back in Orlando.
