Well this came out of NOWHERE! All this talk about Paul George and Jimmy Butler and out of the blue the Hawks and the Hornets pull of this surprise trade.
Dwight Howard just inked a deal with the Hawks last year and now being shipped of to another team. This will be Howard's 4th team and he seems like a malcontent where ever he goes.
1 - Remember in Orlando he kept flip flopping on whether he would stay or not?
2 - And then when he was traded to my beloved Lakers he couldn't take Kobe criticism and fled town for lesser money
3 - Then paired up with the GREAT James Harden to form a super team they FLOPPED. But now with Dwight gone they were one of the best teams in the NBA.
4 - And now of course 1 year in at Atlanta and the Hawks essentially gave him away.
Howard was traded for Miles Plumlee, Marco Belinelli, and the 41st pick. So a couple of seldom used bench players and a 2nd round pick!
I LOVE this time a year because of all these surprises! Let's see how long Dwight can last in Charlotte as if he thought Kobe was tough, what will Michael Jordan do to him?
Let me know what you think about this trade.
