Dwight Howard to Brooklyn?

The selfishly spoiled are never content nor satisfied. There are countless Disney movies in circulation that prove that it is never good to let an immature a-hole force a more powerful hand into fallacious decision-making.

So what am I blabbing about?

According to ESPN, Dwight Howard met with Rob Hennigan (GM of the Orlando Magic) and expressed interest and desire to be traded to the SC (Sports Couple) hood, Brooklyn. Howard claims he was blackmailed by the Magic. Okay? I don't think he knows what blackmailed means. Next he will claim that he was held ransom. Yeah, okay.

So here are our opinions.

Mike:  
Truthfully, Dwight Howard seems like a big whiner, and not a big winner.  But he can become a winner.  The situation in Orlando is toxic, and the Magic should just cut their losses and move Howard before an arbitrator rules that he is a free agent.  And let us not forget, that Howard is coming off of back surgery, and from my current woes I can tell you back injuries really suck.  Moving him now is probably the best idea for the Magic, especially since they have no other talent.  I do not approve of the way in which Howard has conducted himself, but he seems like the kind of guy who is totally lost.  Ultimately, a strong team in Brooklyn is better for the NBA than a whining superstar in Orlando, so I think David Stern will step in and try to make this situation go away ASAP, with Dwight Howard winding up in the county of Kings, and the Magic getting some usable pieces and a winning ping pong ball in the lottery.

Sarah:

I have an immense and overly-thought-of issue with professional athletes that dictate organization decision-making. As I have mentioned in the past, I am a teacher. What would happen if I went to my principal and told her she needed to fire her assistant principal, another teacher, and a paraprofessional? I will tell you. She would conjure up a few choice words and make up an unpleasant moniker to mock my existence. Telling superiors what to do in the work environment isn’t kosher or acceptable.

Know your place, Howard.

Look, I live down the street from where the Nets will be playing. Technically Howard’s arrival would be great for neighborhood and economic stability and expansion. He is a big star and even bigger personality. If he comes – I will probably be excited for those reasons. But in the back of my cranium, I know he is a whiney baby that gets what he wants and has been granted too much power.
