Dwight Howard talks about playing in Chicago with Derrick Rose

[tornado]

doesn't mean it's going to happen - rumor is that Bulls would have to give up too much (Deng+Noah+more)
but..

"If I could play with Derrick right now and God wanted that to happen, it will
happen," Howard told the Tribune. "It has nothing to do with me not wanting to
play with Derrick Rose. I love him. That's my brother.''
"It's about wherever God wants me to play, wherever He wants me to go,"
Howard said. "If that's Chicago, then it's Chicago. I'm praying that He's going to
put me where I need to be."

Straight from the Albert Pujols Free Agency book. "God will determine where I go!"

Depending on what more is. That isn't close to too much.

Deng/Noah/1st round pick
Deng/Noah/1st round pick from Charlotte
Deng/Noah/Asic
Deng/Boozer/Asic/First rounder (I kiss them)

Any would be fine.

Wonder if the media will make as big a deal over what he said as they did over Tim Tebow. Doubt it.

Howard is good, but I am not sure any of the trades make the Bulls better.
Sometimes even a very good player can be a negative for a team.
How is Orlando doing with Howard?
How are the Knicks doing since they got Carmello?

yeah -- recall that a Seattle Mariner team gave up or lost Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey, Jr. and MVP candidate Jay Buhner - then went out and won 116 games in 2001.

Noah can't be traded until March 1st b/c he signed a contract in the off-season (according to ESPN; the real date may be earlier). Noah, Boozer, and Deng all make between $12-13.5M per year. Howard makes $18H. Chi would probably have to take back Hedo at $11M for 3 more years for a deal to work. If it could be done without the loss of Deng, then I would do it, but I don't think Orlando will.

I'm not a huge fan of bringing in Howard anyway.

Dwight Howard is great but he's a liability in close games. His FT shooting is worse than Shaq and the team's record is suffering from it. Let someone else have him.
