    Thought this might be news worthy...

    "After a week of pause while the Orlando Magic settled on San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Jacque Vaughn as their next head coach, the Dwight Howard trade rumors seem to be back in full swing.

    The latest news is that the team will try to trade their franchise center in the next week, according to a report on Sunday from Sam Amico of Fox Sports, citing multiple league sources:

    [M]ultiple league sources predict the Orlando Magic will again step up efforts to find their All-Star center a new team. Several of those sources told FOX Sports Ohio on Saturday they believe Howard could be traded by the end of next week.

    Howard had reportedly reiterated to Magic general manager Rob Hennigan his desire to leave Orlando, but as talks cooled down for the past week, many speculated the team might hold on to Howard for the start of the season, perhaps beyond the league’s February trade deadline.

    If that were the case and Howard remained with the Magic beyond February, he could end up signing with the Dallas Mavericks in the next offseason, a team he said he would like to play for if he doesn’t sign with the Los Angeles Lakers or Brooklyn Nets.

    The Lakers have long been courting Howard but Andrew Bynum’s reluctance to sign long-term with another team has proven to be a snag in executing a trade for Howard."

    Dmo's restriction is now up. Just throwing that out there. Doesn't mean I believe these sources though.

    I'd only trade DMo if we KNEW we had another deal lined up to get a 2nd star (crossing my fingers for James Harden).

    article was published 6 days ago...

    There is no pressure on Orlando to make a trade until much closer to Training Camp.

    I think every news source just have a template article that says "Sources say Dwight Howard may be traded within _____" and run it every once in a while when they run out of other stuff to put out.

    Not only was the article published last Sunday talking about how the Magic could trade him by the end of the week, yesterday. And not only is the article's author not posted. But it doesn't even name the sources that predict a trade will happen at the end of this week.

    In fact, this is an article about an article by Sam Amico. I've seen more 'articles' about articles about Howard lately that this should no longer be considered journalism. Speculative fiction would be a more fitting name.

    This is a worthless piece that rehashes much of what's been said over the off-season. Do not waste your time reading it.

    Deal may happen within the next week. In other news, it may not.

    I've said it before, and I will say it again. Pro media coverage of the NBA is 95% useless, and that's being generous.
