The Los Angeles Lakers have rejected trade inquiries from teams interested in Dwight Howard as they believe there is still a good chance of him re-signing in the offseason, according to sources.
But sources said the Lakers may reconsider their position before the Feb. 21 deadline due to his increasing displeasure with his role under Mike D'Antoni.
Howard has not publicly indicated that he is interested in leaving, but has dropped hints in team circles about his unease with D'Antoni.
The Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks are the most realistic options to sign Howard outright in free agency.
The Brooklyn Nets are believed to remain as an option that intrigues Howard, but a trade would be necessary.

Id rather fire Dantoni and take the risk of starting from ground 0 then keep this dude any longer

If I was Kobe I'd set a 5 shot attempt goal for myself in Memphis and just force Feed the ball to Dwight on the block all game. No Pick and Roll none of that straight back to the hoop post play. That way when Memphis bigs get done stripping, pushing him off the block and sending him to the FT line and the team struggles to score 80, Dwight can step up and take the blame for the loss....
Dude pointing fingers and shooting airballs from the free throw line...
Dude pointing fingers and wasting 2 and 3 fouls/techs a game on nonsense plays...
Dudes in this thread scapegoating Kobe now? Really???

Mitch believes it is the player's lack of effort and not Dantoni.. sounds like more problems than we thought. If the frontoffice cant admit that dantoni is the issue we're gonna have a long long season ahead of us with lots of players leaving

Yeah ESPN is pushing it hard
I don't think Dwight is all that good so I'd probably take the risk and if he walks he walks. Maybe try for love if you gonna trade him

Have you guys heard any reports from trainers/doctors/anyone about Dwight definitely regaining the explosiveness he once had? I ask because I'm not sure I've seen someone look this unathletic then come back next year and go back to superhuman/normal-Dwight athleticism. Is it a sure thing that he gets more explosive?
I just can't imagine his trade value being all that high when right now, he doesn't look like the game changer he was in Orlando. Do you really want to pay this guy 100 million for 5 years if he's looking like this at 28? His stats aren't all that different from his Orlando year but the way he moves and impacts the game is on a whole different level.

I escaped the list of problems!
Its crazy how a siutation like what the Lakers are in can make someone a non believer.
The more I watch...Kobe does not deserve his jersey to be in the rafters with Magic, Kareem and the rest.
He is NOT a Laker legend. He is merely a semi-great player who played in a weak decade of basketball.
