The "Dwight-Out" storyline is heating up as we are finishing up the All-Star break. Today, we have two new rumors. Both reports have Howard being sent to the Lakers in deals which sound somewhat plausible. First, the 'Orlando Sentinel' is hearing some whispers about a deal involving Raptors point guard Jose Calderon being traded to the Magic. The second rumor is from 'El Nuevo Dia', a prominent Puerto Rican newspaper. In this report, the Lakers pull off a coup in receiving Michael Beasley and Jose Barea, in addition to Dwight Howard. The Magic would receive Andrew Bynum and second overall pick Derrick Williams. The Magic are expected to approach Dwight Howard on March 1st to discuss their options, so a decision sounds close at hand.
According to
:
Via Orlando Sentinel: There's a rumor circulating involving Howard, where the deal actually will come down March 1. It goes something like this: The Magic send Howard, SF Hedo Turkoglu and Nelson to the Lakers; the Magic receive Bynum and Gasol. The salaries are close to matching up, making the deal work. A third team, the Toronto Raptors, could be part of the deal or in a separate trade with the Magic, sending PG José Calderon to Orlando.
Via El Nuevo Dia (translated): According to various media, JJ Barea will be part of a three-way deal between the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Lakers and Orlando Magic. In the transaction, Barea and teammate Michael Beasley will be sent to the Lakers with star center Dwight Howard. Meanwhile, Pau Gasol will be going to Minnesota. To Orlando, goes Andrew Bynum and Derrick Williams.
