Varejao for Howard.
I've heard some thing before but damn, that one's a doozy.
If the Magic give up Howard for Varejao and a bunch of useless draft picks then feel free to send crow to my front door.

There doesn't appear to be any other deal to do this, given that Howard is so specific about where he wants to go. The options are pretty limited. I have a feeling they will be asking Cleveland for quite a few picks, and I bet Cleveland would fork them up. I don't think Cleveland's picks are necessarily useless. They have three first round picks, including their own. You figure even with Bynum, they still have a chance of being a lottery pick. In any event, three first round picks can easily be traded up to get a lottery pick.
We can call Orlando stupid if we want. I think they are in general. But I think Dwight Howard is such a dick bag that he's not giving them much in terms of options.
