Back to the Trading Block

Well, It's that time of the NBA season when trading possibilities arise with some of the leagues biggest players. One of the biggest named in the trade spectrum is the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard.

The Magic, with just a couple of weeks left to make a trade that might convince the free-agent-to-be Howard to stay, are reportedly making the moves necessary to convince the league’s best big man that he can reach all of his goals in a Magic uniform.

Instead of pursuing deals for Howard, ESPN the Magazine’s Chris Broussard is reporting that they are pursuing deals to surround Howard with the sort of talent (Golden State’s Monta Ellis) to compete with the Heat and Bulls for the top spot in the Eastern Conference:

Howard has long mentioned Ellis as someone he would love to play with. Could this be the deal breaker to help Howard's wishes become true? (courtesy of nba.com)
