They don't have much leverage to hold out however, they could get left with nothing if Howard walks. There is no way they get Blake Griffin for Dwight.

they won't get him.  they can probably hold out for a better offer from the Lakers, though.

What can the lakers offer that is better? I don't consider Andrew Bynum and his knees any better that Griffin.

I would tell the Clippers there is no way they can get Howard with out Griffin.

If I am Orlando, I am not going to give Howard away.  I would want a top 10 player or a player who has shown he likely would turn into a top 10 player. 

Meanwhile, figure a way to clear as many contracts around Howard or adding attractive trade pieces this season to open up cap space to try and to add a player to go with Howard next year. 


Howard is to good of a player to just trade away cheap and to good of a player to just sit on your hands. 

[Who]

I don't think the Clippers have the assets to make a run at Dwight Howard. They lack that exceptional individual talent to base a trade package around. I just don't think Eric Gordon is good enough for that. 

The only player that is good enough is Blake Griffin but there is no hope of Dwight Howard signing a contract extension with the Clippers without Blake Griffin there. So that offer is a non-starter.

of course bynum isn't better than griffin.  but griffin is untouchable.  the magic aren't getting griffin in any scenario.  bynum + gasol or odom is a better package than the Magic are likely to get anywhere else, at least in terms of being able to compete for the playoffs post-trade.

I'm not so sure Griffin is untouchable.  Howard is the established dominant center in the game today.  Griffin looks like a great all-star PF but there are others out there.  PFs are easier to come by than the game's dominant center.  A deal of Griffin & Kaman & #1 pick/S&T Jordan (and minor tweaks to account for salary matching) might be good enough for Orlando.  Orlando gets the next projected superstar who is also cost controlled for a couple of years longer.

DH might sign up longterm with the Clips with Gordon, Bledsoe and some decent prospects.
