Dwight Howard's plan to sign with Dallas next summer makes trade from Orlando problematic

He won't sign with the mavs. These baseless threats are to try and get a deal with the lakers asap. But henny is still gonna take his time.

Rudolph on 710 for those who couldn't listen

-Meeting yesterday was a failed attempt to build a relationship with Dwight. Hennigan wanted to build rapport and to sell himself Dwight, at the very least, expected a sales pitch with a gameplan in terms of coaching and acquiring players
-Once it became known it wouldn't happen, there was nothing more to discuss
-Dwight said nothing personal but he'd like to be traded as soon as possible
-Rudolph thinks that Orlando showing up without a game plan shows "spectacular ineptitude"
-Rudolph is pretty sure the Magic never informed Hennigan how bad things were between them and Dwight
-Rudolph isn't sure whether or not Dwight is stuck in Orlando, they've turned down good deals from Nets and Houston, and the LAL/CLE 3 way, but they know they need to move him
-Howard camp wondering if ORL intends to actually engage trade talks or just noise
-ACCORDING TO RUDOLPH'S SOURCES, THERE'S ONLY BEEN ONE CONVERSATION WITH THE LAKERS AND THAT WAS INITIATED BY US
-The Melo package isn't going to happen for the Magic
-Orlando is being greedy and unwilling to even take 80 cents on the dollar
-Rudolph said it was tough to answer this one, especially because the Lakers are not convince Orlando wants to make a move, but his guess was that it's more likely that Dwight doesn't move until January than in the next two weeks, this based on his belief Orlando isn't seriously interested in trading Dwight

Buss was asked yesterday about Bynums future and he said "Bynum will be a Laker for life"


Kupchak may want Dwight but his boss (Buss) wont allow it to happen


there have been zero discussions with the Magic for Dwight....its been rumors.....Kupchak only has a green light to deal Gasol....Kobe/Bynum are untouchable
