All Star
Bulls Or Knicks Could Land Dwight Howard

Chicago may be a logical landing place for Dwight Howard. With fellow Adidas superstar Derrick Rose a member of the Bulls, and Joakim Noah a defensive big man who could be sent to Orlando in a trade, Howard could wind up joining Rose.
Adidas would be delighted with that turn events, as the Nike rival ironically locks down the big Chicago market that Michael Jordan once ruled.
"They'd love to corner those two markets," said a person connected to the sneaker industry. "They'd be in heaven, I can tell you that."
A report in December from Adrian Wojnarowski countered that Adidas would prefer not to have their two big stars in the same market.
The Knicks could also emerge as a potential spot for Howard.
Ken Berger not to be surprised if a trade sending Amar'e Stoudemire back to his native central Florida for Howard begins to gain traction. Stoudemire's uninsurable knees and James Dolan's willingness to sign off on a trade parting with the All-Star forward are seen as the two biggest obstacles to such a deal. It could also be that the Knicks would have to include Tyson Chandler in any such discussion with the Magic.

I know alot of Knick fans are hesitant on trading Amare being that he was the first star to willingly come to NY and make us relevant (Although the 100 mil didn't hurt our chances). But if we can get Dwight Howard.. who is younger, has less of an injury history and is probably legitimately the 2nd or 3rd best player in the NBA.. imo its a no brainer. Sending Tyson along with Amare to Orlando in a deal for him doesn't even make me think twice about it.
