I think that is an extreme statement based on the link.  All it was was a quote from Alex Kennedy saying sources have told him that Dwight doesn't want to sign an extension with the Clippers.

all right, all right.. but still, the clips got a superstar in Blake, and Dwight still don't want to sign with them, what would make him do it?

Of course, we can only speculate.. But it could look like CP3 and DH12 have been talking (which an article can confirm) and communicating to possibly find a way to play togheter.. MAYBE, they/he realised that there's no way he can be the main guy or play with Chris Paul there. (salary cap issues, might occur, considering you need at least 3-4 star player nowadays to win a championship...)

If you were Dwight, would you play with a dominant PF, who would have the ball alot? Or a elite PG to pass it to you?

If im right (lets pray..) it seems like they are really finding a way to play togheter, and LAC is not that place..

REMINDER: specualtions/fantasying

But it would make some sense, if they would end up in green unis. Because, its def. a great franchise to play for with a winning history, a GREAT coach and they get to play togheter (if paul gets traded) .. I think CP3 might agree to a long term deal with us, if Dwight and him agrees that Beantown might be the only (or best) place for them to play togheter and still contend for a championship.

I think the Clips have a much better shot at CP3 than Howard.  Orlando has more reason to believe they can retain Howard than NO with Paul (better team already in place, more of a chance at contending in the near future), so it's going to be harder to pry him away by trade.

And LA offers a much better situation for a star PG than a star center.  Paul will appreciate Griffin as a weapon; Howard can't help but see him as a rival for touches and space in the paint (and for media attention).
