    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Nets' point guard Jason Kidd, during his stop in Orlando last week, had an interesting perspective on Magic center Dwight Howard.

    He said that as Howard continues to develop, he will become a free agent magnet, attracting other top players if the Magic can stay salary-cap flexible.

    "What's probably going to happen is he's going to have everybody coming to Orlando to play, so that would just make his game a lot easier," Kidd said. "As he gets older, he will mature into that body. It's just scary, because he could become another Shaq, one of the most dominating players in the game."</div>

    I'm not sure about this anymore because I don't think a majority of players in the league are "all about winning" anymore. They've become mercenaries and sign for the highest bidder. Only when the money dries up do players value winning ahead of money.

    Orlando is pretty tapped out with their investments in Howard and Lewis.

    That is why he says if they are cap flexible.
