Could Dwight Howard Actually Get Traded?

With the Los Angeles Lakers probably being dismantled is it time for the Orlando Magic to think about moving Dwight Howard before he becomes a free agent. Howard will play this coming season, but after that you just do not know. One option that Orlando may want to look into is trading him to the Lakers. The Magic could also send Arenas or Hedo as well which would free up some cap space for Orlando. If the Magic could get Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum this is something to consider.

The reality is I will be surprised if Dwight Howard sticks around as he can see with what he has now there is no way he can win an NBA Championship and he understands that. He would love to bring one to Orlando, but he also must be honest with himself. The current Magic roster will never win a NBA Championship.

Orlando has to look long term here and what is best for the franchise. Trading Howard is something they do not want to do, but in the end they may have no choice. With a lockout possible and his contract coming up a trade maybe the Orlando Magic best option.
