Broussard: Dwight Howard Needs To Demand A Trade To The Nets
by NetsDaily on Feb 1, 2012 1:59 PM EST
Email
PrintESPN's Chris Broussard writes Wednesday that it's time for Dwight Howard to stop worrying about public sentiment and force his way out of Orlando via a trade to the Nets.
Here are the key excerpts...
Virtually everyone knows Howard will not re-sign with Orlando next season. He wants Brooklyn/New Jersey, Dallas or Los Angeles, but mostly Brooklyn. Howard has the responsibility to walk into Orlando general manager Otis Smith's office as soon as possible and tell Smith he wants to be traded to the Nets before the March 15 trade deadline.
...
If left up to Howard's camp, the Magic would have been informed about Howard's clear desire to leave before the new year. His representatives want him to force his way out of Orlando now. But Howard has kept them at bay. He's refused to rescind his trade request, but he's also refused to upgrade it to a trade demand.
Broussard goes on to explain why New Jersey is a better fit than L.A. or Dallas, but also writes, "As good a fit as Howard would be in New Jersey, I like him even more in Chicago."

"I like him more in Chicago"
Yeah? Well I like him more in Miami and OKC, but it doesn’t mean that they have better pieces than NJ or a pass 1st PG

To be fair, he's not wrong.
If Howard wants to win and do so in a big city, then the Bulls provide him with the best chance to do so.
not sure he fits as good with rose
Dwight "owns’ the middle and Rose is best penetrating and finishing. DWill can attack the rim, but is a better shooter (usually) and distributor. I think as Rose and Dwight age it will lead to more problems.
Dwight holds all the cards
if he wants BK, then he simply tells LAL that he won’t re-sign there and they won’t give up Bynum and Gasol. Simple as that.
I like our chances.
Yup and if it's Nets or nothing
Get it done today.

Yea he really needs to agressively DEMAND a trade to the NETS
If he does this not only will other teams be scared away but the Magic won’t be able to threaten the Nets with scenarios of trading him to another team.
With the way things are going in Orlando it’s the best possible time to begin pushing for the trade again. Even if it doesn’t immidiately happen it will gradually give us leverage and the closer the deadline comes we will be in a better position.
LMAO. CB writes an entire article about Dwight having to demand a trade to NETS
And the headline for this story on ESPN is
“Howard to Bulls?”
They never fail to surprise.

I wish you could comment
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Hate to have to defend ESPN...
…but despite the headline looking like dissing the Nets…it really isn’t. Again…ESPN needs to take care of their sponsors. The article likely gets less reads if it was headlined, “D12 to Nets”. First of all, lots of bball fans already know nets are on the list of 3 teams, so there’s no news there. The Bulls headline makes the article seem more interesting and more importantly, it makes the sponsors happy. I like to rip ESPN as much as anyone but they have a business and promises to keep.
it's like the 5 o'clock news

Dwight’s too much of a nice guy to ‘demand’ a trade out of Orlando.
by JimmyLips on Feb 1, 2012 2:16 PM EST via iPhone app reply actions
lol
nice has nothing to do with it. image does.
The only fan base that his image will negatively affect is Orlando. No other franchise’s fans blame him for wanting out.
If Dwight wasn’t such genuine nice guy, he would’ve demanded a trade weeks ago. His image is scarred in Orlando regardless, but he feels like he has to be nice and cordial rather than ‘force’ his way out. At least that’s how I see it.

that Deron told Broussard to write this? It’s strange that all of a sudden everyone in the media is back to feeling the Nets are the favorite to land Dwight. That can’t be just a coincidence.

I agree
There is more to this then what i looks like. Dwight wants to be in brooklyn… He needs to demand a trade here. Maybe this is the motivation he needs.
I grabbed 19 rebounds in my first professional game, and somehow found a way to score 20 points. I felt real good about it. I felt that this was the beginning of something good.
-Julius Erving
This could also be read as
Dwight letting Orlando know that he is considering a public demand for a trade. If this doesn’t work then he will push for the trade to the Nets with Broussard already endorsing the idea in the media. The whole thing seems choreographed to me and not because I want it to be so. As a fan you can feel the influence of agents on the NBA and this reeks of Fegan.
WE WANT LOPEZ! clap clap clap clap clap
I don't want him to demand a trade here
If it is a fact that he wants to come here no matter what. I hope he does it in free agency.
Same thing Bucher said to Jerry about Dwight playing the media:
A few days ago, Howard told the Chicago Tribune he’d be open to playing for the Chicago Bulls. As enticing as this sounded, it basically was Howard being diplomatic. He also said recently that he’d listen to a pitch from the Boston Celtics, though he has no intention of playing for the Celtics.
WE WANT LOPEZ! clap clap clap clap clap
It's the same as LeBron/Wade/Bosh
They were willing to listen to the pitch from NJ and other teams with no intention of going there…same with Dwight in this case with Boston and (probably) Chicago
Winning is everything...Losing is not an option...
Section 4, Row 12...last season at The Rock...
I don't think it's even that
He was abstractly bringing up Boston and Chicago as representations of championship pedigree which is his justification for wanting out of Orlando. He was riffing on an abstract theme.
2011-2012 season prediction: 22-44
And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.
He was twisting the shank
sticking in the Orlando front office’s side.
WE WANT LOPEZ! clap clap clap clap clap
nothing like that.....
bosh and lebron were free agents, Dwight isn’t he’s breaking rules openly doing this, im surprised he hasnt been fined yet.
he hasn't been fined because he hasn't broken any rules
he hasn’t talked to those teams. he was asked if he would consider them as a free agent, and he answered yes. that isn’t against the rules.

Responsibility to demand a trade?
What a weird world some people live in. D12 has already made clear he wants to play somewhere else next year. What part of that do s Broussard think does not give the Magic an incentive to make a trade. This is like saying he has acted like a prima donna, now he has a duty to act like a prima donna only louder. Most people would call that being a spoiled brat, not something you have a responsibility to do. If he has a responsibility, to whom? To Otis Smith? Does anyone think Otis Smith sits around ticked off because D12 is not demanding a trade aggressively enough? What a nut this guy is.

There are certain rules of etiqutte when negotiating
Requesting and demanding a trade are two very different things. A demand from Dwight only serve to kill any leverage Orlando has left.
WE WANT LOPEZ! clap clap clap clap clap
this is true
in today’s climate every GM and owner should know when a player is definitely not, or unlikely to re-sign. the onus is on the them to take action and play ostrich.
kevin o’connor dealt DWILL very early, based on a feeling he wasn’t going to re-up.
besides the cosmetic all-star game argument (don’t want dwight at the game in another teams jersey), my take is that otis smith is following the masaij ujirri method. using other teams as leverage to get the best deal. it worked for usijirri, but while dwight howard is undoubtedly a more valuable player than melo, the climate and timing is much different. don’t think there are too many options for otis smith at this point.
imagine something extremely witty here
they'll get Dwight tonight
Why? Because I’m going to the game tonight and it’s just my luck for his first game as a Net to be the one AFTER the one I go to.

speaking of ugly situations, what is going to happen with Dwight in Orlando? Do you think God wants him on the Bulls???
Chad Ford (1:06 PM)
The question is … does Dwight think God wants him on the Bulls. I don’t think so. I think he was fine with a trade to NJ or the Lakers and still will be if Otis Smith wakes up before the deadline. If he goes to free agency, my money says that Dallas is the promised land.

But with Chad Ford it really is a guess.
He focuses much more on the college game, the drafting process, and rookie contract players. He doesn’t have the same kind of sources that some of these others do. I think the threat of Dallas is looking less likely by the day.
WE WANT LOPEZ! clap clap clap clap clap
What an incredibly idiotic comment
if Dwight hits free agency, why in the world would he go to Dallas over his #1 choice which is the Nets?
Stick to the draft, Chad.
Because who would ever go to the Nets?
It’s incomprehensible to them.

with Dwight as the model
exactly, "my number one choice is brooklyn but...
…now that i’m a free agent and can choose any team i want, i think i’ll pick dallas"
woah
imagine something extremely witty here
"I'll pick Dallas
and take less money to play with a 34yr old Dirk with declining stats across the board over a 24yr old Brook Lopez, 24yr old MarShon Brooks, 26yr old Anthony Morrow, and a lottery 2012 pick"
yeah, that makes a lot of sense
ehhh because Mavs still have a better team than we do?
More legit contender if he goes to Mavs, still a lot of work to be done in Brooklyn
so why isn't Dallas his preferred team right now?

I honestly believe, depending on what the Bulls have to give up for Dwight, they’d be worse off. A hypothetical deal would probably involve all four of Noah, Deng, Gibson, and Asik. Is that team any better?

I’ve been saying he needs to demand a trade here, thats the only way he will be a Net for sure, if not it’s up in the air. He’s been complaining, and is starting to mail it in. Furthermore, he is flirting with every team, ie bulls and celtics, WHILE he is under contract. Say what you want about Melo, Lebron, or Chris Paul, they never did this. Dwight needs to man up now, or quit sulking. I just think, what if we were the Magic, and we had to deal with this…..

Is it really true that the Magic will wait to see if Lopez is healthy before making a trade?
They must know he wont be 100% by the trade deadline. They would still be banking on Lopez coming back from this injury versus Bynum’s history of knee injuries. Lopez being out could enhance their draft pick.

I like everything about this Broussard article
except this part scares me / is not grammatically correct. It should say: “If the Magic trade howard to NJ, they would retain…”
But like that’s too much I’m sorry.
If the Magic get stubborn and don’t trade Howard, they would retain solid role players in Lopez, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks, Anthony Morrow and Jordan Farmar. Then the Nets still will have Williams, not to mention a bit of financial flexibility to build around their superstar duo, if Howard signs with New Jersey/Brooklyn as a free agent after the 2011-12 season.

howard should really consider to demand that trade to the nets if he wants to get a championship sooner rather than later because orlando wont be happy trading him in the first place and if he comes here with out the demand orlando will gutttt this time out and laugh at him and the nets. Its the best thing to do demand and both teams get a fair deal other wise orlando will ripp all assets we have like the nuggets did to ny and look at the knicks now that will be the nets
Dwight Howard? Whatever. Call me when something happens. What really excites me is...
The Nets signed Keith Bogans! That’s awesome.
Seriously, i’m excited any time the Nets do something smart. It gives me confidence that they’ll be able to properly build a team around DWill/Dwight.

If Dwight really wanted to win a championship
He would just stay with Orlando for the rest of the year and sign as a FA to NJ Nets next season. This is honestly the best method, yes he may lose out on 25-30 mil over 4 years but that is honestly the best choice to win a championship. Now if he wants his cake and eat it to, demand a trade to NJ nets. We’ll give up the farm for him and will be playoff contenders only for the 2 years until we add more pieces. how? I’m not 100% sure, i do believe taking on Duhon (not a very good pickup imo) and Turk (terrible contract) and max dwight and max deron and we are very limited in who we can retain.
If he really wanted to win and really wanted the Nets…he’d wait till FA>
if he really wanted to win
he’d go to the bulls
he cares about a lot more than winning, and we’re thankful he does. cuz the nets would not be #1 on the list if it was all about winning
by Dep on Feb 1, 2012 4:21 PM EST up reply actions
If he wanted to win by just supporting Rose or another scoring superstar, sure, but
he wants to win it all being the man. Orlando cannot put together a good enough supporting cast (e.g., how can Jameer Nelson get only 5-6 assists playing all these years with D12?), so he’ll go to the Nets with DWill, who would support him.
yea that's what i'm saying

Traded players usually miss a few days right after a trade
It’s likely that if it’s a March 15 deadline deal, he’ll miss that one. It’s possible though that the Nets would get booed out of the arena.

It don't think it is time to "demand a trade"
Now would make little sense since the Magic would not deal him right now. It would be like telling off your boss and you coworkers when you quit before realizing you have to put your 2 weeks in notice in. Demanding a trade has a bad connotation though, what he really would be doing is saying that he plans to sign with the Nets in the off season which forces the Magic’s hand. He needs to stop with this “what God wants for me” nonsense pretty soon. What do you want for yourself Dwight? Can he stop pretending he doesn’t have the control over the situation and actually take control of the situation?
should
i add dwight to the nets in 2k12…. i only play with the nets and the team is so bad that i have not been able to enjoy the game for a few weeks now
why demand a trade if he'll become a Net in FA anyway
I say keep our assets
Because Dwight wants his money, and the Nets want the momentum for Brooklyn to begin this season
In a perfect world waiting for Dwight in free agency would be great, but that is probably plan B. That’s why Dwight needs to demand the trade to the Nets eventually to kill Orlando’s leverage and mitigate the assets we have to give up for him

I wish the media would stop putting the blame on Howard, such as JT The Brick's tirade posted above.
The media people should be reminded (they weren’t paying attention at the time), that Howard thought he had been traded to the Nets just before the season. He told his teammates at that time. However, he would not have done that if his Agent and/or Otis had told him first.
The media should blame the ORL owner deVos for nixing the deal for Lopez+Wallace and more, at the last moment.

When it comes to the Nets. I find him funny otherwise, but I hate him when he talks about the Nets..
http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7525589/20-questions-part-2
13. What in the holy hell is happening with Dwight Howard?
You have to admit, making up fake trades, deciphering real rumors from fake ones and watching the league’s only dominant center treat his final Orlando season with that same glazed/trapped/hostage-like look in his eyes that Katie Holmes has … it’s been pretty fun, right? Not since 2007-08 Kobe (right before the Pau Gasol trade) have we watched a superstar put up killer numbers this effortlessly while remaining emotionally detached the entire time; it takes a special level of talent to dominate games while simultaneously mailing them in. Even stranger, Orlando GM Otis Smith seems to be paralyzed by the proceedings — after Brook Lopez’s broken foot knocked New Jersey from the bidding, Joakim Noah’s trade value went in the tank5 and the surging Clippers shook off Howard’s overtures, poor Otis was suddenly left with Dallas and the Lakers as his only real suitors.
So what’s taking so long with Bynum-for-Howard? Why the foreplay? Just pull the trigger, Otis! Save face by expanding the trade to include Nelson ($17.2 million remaining, expires in 2013) and the already floundered Quentin Richardson ($7.8 million remaining, expires 2014) for Matt Barnes (expires this season), the Lakers’ 2012 no. 1 pick and a valuable trade exception (the $8.6 million opened by sending Nelson to the Lakers for Odom’s exception). The final haul: Orlando chops $13.1 million from this season’s payroll, dumps $11.85 million of 2012-13 salaries, picks up a draft pick and turns a two-dollar bill (Howard) into someone who’s definitely improved to a dollar bill (Bynum If He Can Stay Healthy) for someone who’s leaving anyway.
1. He has an injury that hasn’t slowed Robin Lopez or Pau Gasol, and suddenly we’re knocked from the running?
2. Wait a minute, Bill. Didn’t you say in another column, "we have 35 years of evidence that there’s a tipping point when “If he can stay healthy …” becomes “… he’s not going to stay healthy.” We’re there with Andrew Bynum. He’s not going to stay healthy.
14. What happens to the New Jersey Nets if they don’t get Howard?
After gutting their team for Deron Williams (Derrick Favors and the no. 3 pick in the 2011 draft), New Jersey faces a potentially humiliating situation: If they can’t land Howard within the next few weeks, they have to reverse course and frantically shop Williams over watching him play out his contract, then sign with his hometown Mavericks in five months. They can’t move to Brooklyn this summer without a star to market, right? (Sorry, I don’t think this picture is cutting it for 2,000 billboards in the tri-state area.) That means they’d have to flip Williams for an All-Star who’s locked into a deal already. You know, someone like Pau Gasol (who might be past his prime, or close), Amar’e Stoudemire (and his uninsured contract) or even (gulp … ) Joe Johnson. Wow, it’s hard to believe that things might play out badly for an NBA franchise owned by a free-spending Russian oligarch who splurged on Travis Outlaw, Johan Petro, Jordan Farmar and Anthony Morrow as his first four signings, hired Billy King, lost interest within nine months and decided to run for the presidency of Russia.
1. So it was a mistake trading two guys averaging a combined 12 pts and 11 rebs (basically 1 Kris Humphries) for Deron Williams?
2. You really think we’re going to help the Knicks clean out their trash while giving them the player we’re putting all our marketing around?
3. Farmar and Morrow weren’t bad signings. Maybe a little overpriced on Farmar. Petro and Outlaw are good shots, but come on.
4. What has Billy King done in his career that’s unequivocally bad? He built a team in Philly that made it to the finals with a PSYCHOTIC Allen Iverson running point.
5. Who said he’s lost interest? How about his interview where he said he was 100% interested.

Am i the only one that
thinks Dwill may have talked to Broussard about writing this article??
"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
BK should relay messages to Dwight through Deron
Like suggesting he demand a trade to us in order to take all leverage away from Orlando. If the other suitors know Howard won’t resign with them then odds are they won’t be willing to give up anything valuable to get him. This would make the price tag to acquire him much cheaper. It’s in Dwights best interest to join a team that still has MarShon Brooks and Kris Humphries. That trade ESPN proposed yesterday was absolutely ridiculous. We’d be barely better than The Knicks were SUPPOSED to be.
The Knicks were supposed to be a top 3 team
If we’re better than that, I’ll easily take that then sign some good pieces in FA.
