Dwight Howard aka Superman is the latest NBA superstar who is demanding a trade ! In previous years point guard Chris Paul requested a trade from the New Orleans Hornets, by the way he got his wish ending up with the Los Angeles Clippers prior to the 2011-12 NBA season. About two years ago Carmelo Anthony informed the Denver Nuggets he wanted to be traded and he would not resign with the Nuggets as a free agent. Melo was eventually dealt to the New York Knicks. Prior to season ending back surgery this past season Howard was a season long distraction to the team. Rumors stated he wanted head coach Stan Van Gundy fired, if the team wanted him to remain in Orlando. Well after the season Van Gundy was relieved of his duties. During the season Howard finally agreed not to opt out of his contract. Now that the off season is offically here, guess what Dwight now wants to be traded. He want's the trade to one team and one team only : the Brooklyn Nets. The nerve of the modern NBA player he not only wants to be traded, most of the time these superstars demand their destination as well ! As great as Howard, Paul and Anthony are, they have combined for 0, I repeat 0 NBA titles and 1 NBA Finals appearance. CP3 to his credit has help turn the LA Clippers around leading them to the post season and helping them advance to the Western Conference Semifinals. Melo has helped New York get back to the playoffs, however they still have not won a playoff series in over a decade, meanwhile vs. Miami they just picked up their 1st playoff win, I said 1st playoff win in over a decade. Dwight helped lead Orlando to the 2009 NBA Finals. It will be an interesting off season for Howard to say the least.
