Not to mention no team will offer a better trade than Chicago. Exam the teams:
Chicago Bulls: Offer Noah, Deng and Brewer for Howard and Turk. Howard gets to play the prime of his career with the best PG in the NBA and next to a solid big man next to him. Not to mention the Bulls are set to sign Caron Bulter.
NJ: First, Lopez isn't worth a Noah and the Nets have no one else to offer. Second, with Williams already saying he is leaving, Howard would go to a rebuilding situation. Not what he wants.
NY: First, they don't have the assets to make a trade. Nothing else matter after that.
LAL: Gasol and Odom are on the wrong side of 30. While both are better than Deng and Noah, they are both older and not players to build around at there age. Noah and Deng are more trade attractive to Orlando. Second, Kobe he 10 fold better than Rose will ever be, but he is 33. Howard won't get to play with Kobe for too long. Playing along side a young Rose should look more attractive to him.
In the end, the best situation is Chicago:
(1) Chicago can make the best deal to Orlando in Deng and Noah.
(2) Howard gets the best running mate in Rose that he could get anywhere and both are young and in there prime. They will be competing for championships for the next decade.
(3) Big Market in Chicago, means more money and more endorsements.
(4) One of the top cities in the world and the best fans in basketball
(5) With Howard they are a TOP Contender for years to come
PG: Rose/Whoever
SG: Richardson (Bulls will sign JR or Bulter)/Korver/Bogan
SF: Turk./Korver
PF: Bozer/Gibson
C: Howard/Asik
That team would be a powerhouse.
