You can argue that Dwight Howard is handling his pending free agency worse than LeBron did….or anyone else for that matter. For about a year now, Dwight has been naming teams that he’d like to play for. Very strange precedent and the Big O has had enough.
“Oscar Robertson, NBA legend and the man who led the way so players like Dwight Howard would have the right to become free agents, has a word of advice for Dwight in this ongoing trade saga. ‘Keep your mouth shut and play basketball,’ said Robertson. ;If he wants to be traded, he’s going to be traded. Go and talk to the owners and say, ‘I want to be traded’ and keep it a secret.’ In a situation like this, he can’t win. … Anytime they (Magic) stumble and fall and every time they get beat, they’re going to blame Dwight Howard and it’s totally unfair because it’s not all his fault. I don’t think management has done a great job in keeping certain players on the team. They had a nucleus of players that got them to the Finals and then, all of the sudden, it’s gone downhill.’
