Or rather, his behavior during the last two and a half seasons hasn't endeared anyone to him.

It's pretty clear, offensive issues or not, that Howard's a considerably better player than Lopez. But Dwight's a cornball and he acted like a supreme chump during the Orlando Magic debacle, so I guess maybe people think he's not worth having on the team. Which is wrong.

I can sorta see that Dwight's had injury issues as of late (as in the last season and a half) and is three years older and considerably more NBA miles on him, but having Dwight Howard now would make the Nets immediately better. And if they're trying to win right now, he'd help their chances.
