Signs, such as reduced chance of landing Chris Paul and reports of Dallas shopping its first-round draft pick, point to Mavs going hardest after the star center.

No. 13 draft pick slotted to make $1,655,300 in year one.Mavs need all the cap room they can get to make room for Howard. — Chad Ford (@chadfordinsider) May 22, 2013 This tweet from Chad Ford sparked one of our famous MMB email chains, so I've condensed it into a post for you all to enjoy. Some really good basketball minds reside here, y'all. Kirk Henderson: Why is he talking Howard and literally everyone else is talking CP3? Alan Smithee: I think there are at least a few people who prefer Dwight Howard. Not me, because I think Chris Paul is a god, but there are people out there....

Dwight Howard isn't going to walk away from an extra $30 million dollars. Some idiot ... or some genius There are few things that frustrate me more than the above quote as it pertains to free agency in the NBA. It is the biggest canard in sports, the idea that the "home" team (i.e. the team that owns a player's Bird rights) in any free agency situation has a HUGE advantage in obtaining the signature of a franchise free agent. Dwight Howard's involvement in the quote is immaterial; somebody, somewhere, will make the same argument about Chris Paul. It's the same argument people made ab...

After a report surfaced that Dwight Howard voiced frustration regarding Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni, Kevin Ding of the Orange County Register spoke with Kupchak who said there was no discussion regarding D'Antoni during Howard's exit interview: The unlikelihood of a Howard, Paul future With theories of the next super-team abounding, just how difficult would it be to waive Kobe Bryant via the amnesty provision, trade Pau Gasol without taking salary back and convincing the two All-NBA stars to join the Lakers?

Phil Jackson chose not to delve into the 2012-13 Lakers' failures in the final edit of his new book, but he said Tuesday morning on the "Dan Patrick Show" that Mike D'Antoni's reluctance to feature Dwight Howard's preferred post game is a valid...

Good for Dwight Howard. Dave McMenamin of ESPN has reported that Howard expressed "frustration" with Mike D'Antoni during his exit interview and all I can say is good for Dwight. Howard's free agency is a blessing in disguise Howard's free agency will hold the NBA hostage through the Summer. Despite the chance that he can leave the Lakers without any return, letting Howard decide what he wants to do is the best thing that can happen for both him and L.A.
