I really hope Howard stays in Orlando...

I wonder where Bucher gets his stuff. . . the "latest" he has heard about Dwight must've come from someone else because the last few times reporters even brought up that talk with Dwight he said how much he wanted to stay. Now, I'm not saying that means he is staying but it contradicts everything ESPN has been trying to push. At this point they're just looking to create new drama since the Melo drama already ended. . . quite badly

The Brooklyn thing is something that I think Orlando has to watch out for... There's going to be a lot of exciting hype around that and they're on a crash course to meet at the same time...

Nj's second strongest position is at the Center position as well in Brooke Lopez.
Bucher is full of it. I doubt he has heard much of anything. He is just trying to feed the ESPN hype machine.

That's what was said about the queen for 2 years. I think it all depends on how well Orlando does in the playoffs. I hope Howard stays in Orlando but it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up with the Lakers. You don't know the power of the dark side.

How would it not surprise you? The Lakers would have to completely blow up their team next year (and that's including getting rid of Gasol) in order to be able to sign Howard. They're not doing that. As far as LeBron, were there ever reports of him joining Miami? No one knew/expect LeBron to really go there. They kept talking about it because it was "good" drama. They're doing the same with Howard. There aren't any real reports of Howard wanting to leave and if he does there are maybe two teams that will be able to get him, NJ and Clippers. I'm going to count out the Clippers because Sterling owns that team. NJ may have some sort of shot but by next year there are signs of Dwight wanting to leave Otis would be a trade or two away to be in the same situation as NJ (in terms of financial security). DWill doesn't really have any ties with that Franchise while Dwight wants to stay in Orlando, would NJ really hold the upper hand there? Is the promise of being the Knicks' shadow really the best they can do?

Yet... They will soon enough....
Orlando is on the brink of becoming a very stale situation and will not have much going for them in the near future... Brooklyn's move is going to infuse life into that situation... This isn't like Seattle going to Oklahoma or Charlotte going to New Orleans-- The excitement that will be generated around Brooklyn should be big and I'm sure the NBA is going to want to see that thrive with potential multiple rivalries... Plus, if they can keep Williams, Dwight will have the opportunity to play with a superior PG and the best player he has yet to play with...
They would have their PG and C in place... It would really speed up their ability to build a quick contender...

Chances the Magic are in a position to sign both players...less than 1. The Arenas contract pretty much guarantees that.

Not really. JJ's contract can be bought out fully and Bass and Nelson are good enough trade chips, good enough to get rid of Hedo with them (who took a big paycut for his last year). Hell, they could use JJ himself to have another team take either Q or Duhon and the Magic would have plenty of cap space left (and that's with Arenas still in the books). There's still the slight chance of Arenas pulling a Richard Jefferson and opting out now and taking more money but for more years.
