The Magic are making a huge mistake by entertaining offers for Dwight Howard. Sure you can send him anywhere but why concern yourself about shipping him out when you desperately need to FIND HELP for him to stay. There are players to be had and the one that makes more sense than any other is Deron Williams. Now it's no forgone conclusion that Deron is a lock to stay in New Jersey but, if I'm Otis Smith and I know that this organization thrives on the very existence of Dwight in a Magic uniform then you offer what the Lakers did when they reportedly wanted both Dwight and Chris Paul, offer everything except Dwight. They have the amnesty to use on either Hedo Turkoglu or on Gilbert Arenas, but if the Magic can somehow pull off a miracle trade by sending either one to New Jersey absorb the contract of Travis Outlaw so the Nets still have their amnesty, and can use it on one of the said names being shipped out, then we can make a miracle happen here in Orlando again. I know its far fetched considering the Nets want to build their marketing plans around D-Will but, at the same time New Jersey has been in the dark about his decision as to whether or not he will stay or go. Everyone has the presumption that Chris Paul is the answer to keeping Dwight here in Orlando but, he isn't the only answer out there. Chris Paul will do a lot for this Magic team no doubt, but I'd much rather see Deron Williams here instead. He's proven he can take over games in the clutch, he's more athletic, stronger, and durable than CP3 has shown in the past and can also create for his teammates. The debate among point guards as to whether or Paul, Williams, or Derrick Rose is debatable but, the answer isn't Chris Paul, who's often injured and is nowhere near the additional scoring punch that Deron could bring to the Magic, it is Deron Williams.
