[Orlando, FL] The Orlando Magic have cleaned house. Gone is the head coach, the GM, the assistant GM, the director of player development, six scouts and player Ish Smith.
Could Dwight Howard be next?
Esteemed sources say that the superstar center could possibly be traded to the Houston Rockets on Draft Day for two top ten draft picks which the Rockets are furiously working to acquire.
Trading Dwight Howard would certainly be a whopper for new Orlando Magic GM Rob Hennigan. But Hennigan has already shown a willingness to make bold moves and hey – that’s why the Orlando Magic hired the guy, right?
Hennigan’s other big decision is to find a coach for whoever’s left in blue and white.
The NBA Draft will be held June 28 at 7 p.m.
