re: UPDATE: Howard Requests a trade to Nets; Lakers will not deal both big men for Howard
The Celtics, Bulls and Clippers are expected to aggressively pursue Dwight Howard, who has requested a trade from the Magic.
Orlando has given Howard's agent Dan Fegan permission to speak to the Nets, Mavericks and Lakers about Howard.
Howard is eligible to become a free agent in 2012 and while the Magic haven't given up on retaining him, they do not want to lose him without compensation in return.

Cause there is a huge chance of him "not working out" and then they would've given away the best defensive player in the world today for nothing? Brook Lopez + picks an possibly damion James or marshon Brooks is a much better package.

Which doesn't hurt Orlando since they will be rebuilding since Dwight gone.
Bynum would be a risk if he was a player signed for 4-5 years with his injury history, but for a guy who basically playing on a one year deal, Orlando isn't really taking a huge gamble.
If he works out, they have a potential all-star center, if not 16 million comes of the book this summer.

Yes but considering the other offers on table (not just from the nets either, the clippers could put together an insanely good package too), trading for an oft injured Bynum doesn't make any sense.

Here is the bottom Line.
Is Howard and D Will better than, Wade, LBJ and Bosh, or Amare, Carmelo and Chandler, or Pierce, KG, Allen and Rando, or Rose, Boozer, noah, deng
No, No, No and No, I don't even think they will be better than Atlanta with that combo, East is stacked.

I actually like bynum. if he was not injury prone i would not trade him at all and he would have been better than howard if he did not get injured so many times. he plays with fear that he will get injured again, so it does effect his confidence.
Actually, bynum has better offence than howard, but the D is the area that howard is great at.

Btw aren't you guys sick of the 'whole' if he is healthy thing. It was used to death trying to defend Oden. These guys are what they are....and that's injury prone risky big men. Any team taking them should factor that into the equation.

Brook Lopez isn't a very good basketball player. I'd rather roll the dice on someone who could play at an allstar level when healthy than a center who grabs six rebounds a game.

Are you people nuts? A Howard/Williams combination is far better than the Knicks' team and is better than the Bulls as well. You people don't understand how good those two players are and how well they would play with each other.
