Regardless of speculation and fabrication about additional destinations under consideration, Dwight Howard's trade request remains unwavering. He is amenable to commit long-term with the Nets, Lakers, and Mavericks. That's it, just those three teams.
Nevertheless, lean and rest assured copious other suitors have contacted Magic GM Otis Smith and registered bids. Without a doubt, the Knicks are one. No. 1, in all likelihood, for several solid reasons:
Due to the grab bag of riches evidently about to be auctioned off; on account of the imposing threat of stiff competition in the stands and the standings should Howard bunk in Brooklyn (how long before shameless front runner Spike Lee switches jerseys?); and because the Knicks arguably own more featured frontline creatures than anyone else in the field to exchange for (who does he think he is?) Mr. Big Stuff.
