    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Wearing a burgundy shirt with 'BIG D' inscribed in cursive on the cuffs, black slacks and matching tie, Dwight Howard hit the Wyndham Hotel ballroom in downtown Chicago not knowing exactly where he'll go in the June 24 NBA draft. 'I'm hearing two places --- Orlando and the Hawks,' the Southwest Atlanta Christian star said Saturday at a pre-draft media session.</div>

    I still don't know if Orlando will take Dwight. They seem sold on Okafor, but I guess we won't know until draft day.

    If Orando doesn't take Dwight, he could very easily play for the Hawks. The Clippers would most likely draft him, then trade him to the Hawks for someone such as Jason Terry. The trade would work both ways, because the Hawks get their hometown player, and the Clips get a solid PG.

    If Howard leaves that would be great for Drew. He won't have the team cancer holding him from his true potential self.

    Dwight is a great player but I'm still unsure about him. I think Orlando is leaning toward Okafor right now.

    I think Magic's best bet is Okafor, I don't care about his back. They are making a big deal about something small here, his back was never a big deal in college. When ever it bothered him, it sidelined him but not for a long time. Plus the trainers in the NBA are probably so much better at keeping that stuff under control. Emeka has proven himself to be a NBA superstar in the future, when Dwight Howard really hasn't proven anything. If I'm not mistakened he didn't even look that great in the HS all-star games. Put it this way he is no future Garnett, Amare, Kobe, or Lebron. I say go with Emeka.

    If we trade down, it would likely be for Livingston, IMO.
