trade Ibaka, Perkins and Harden for D Howard right now!!!! Orlando does this because they know they're going to lose Howard in a year anyway, and with this deal they get the 6th man of the year in Hardin who can start today, a center replacement in Perkins and a big shot blocker hustle guy in Ibaka who has tons of room to grow.... OKC does this because they need a real big three to combat Miami's if they plan to win championships in the next five years. Lebron wont be running elbows out to the basket for unconstested layups if D Howard is there, Further D Howard wont allow them to get endless offensive boards as we saw in the playoffs. Howard also has an offensive game that is consistent which the Thunder desperately need at the 5 spot. Further Howard is an allstar and that will level the playing field with the whistles..... Howard does this because OKC will get him a ring before he's out of his prime. It's a win win for everyone and most importantly it makes the finals something everyone will tune into, which should make Stern ecstatic!!! I'd also note that if Howard joins the Thunder.... Phil will without question throw his name in to coach them and that for OKC fans translates into championships.... Those who watched Phil on his HBO interview can almost see this happening! This deal just makes sense!
