I realize suggesting poor decisions to Dwight Howard is like trying to give Donald Trump financial advice. Both are such pros in their respective fields that it's hard to provide them with ideas they haven't already thought of.
Just look at the past few months, and it's clear that Howard is practically a savant when it comes to boneheaded decisions. He created a complete circus in Orlando by demanding a trade last spring, then retracting it and then demanding it again.
He went to management and asked that his coach be fired, but then put his arm around him while that same coach was fielding questions about whether Howard wanted him fired. Confusing? Ugly? Awkward? Yes to all three.
Ultimately, Howard exercised his player option in order to stay in Orlando. This was a particularly terrible decision, even for Howard. He'd alienated his teammates, his coach and just about the entire city of Orlando. And he decided to play out the season. Well, until he shut it down and had back surgery.
Now Howard's made it known that no matter which team he ends up on this offseason—assuming anyone even wants to put up with him at this point—he won't sign an extension. Great move, Dwight. Now who's going to want to pay full price for you? This latest blunder of Howard's is the flat-out dumbest of all. He's made the already difficult task of trading him virtually impossible for the Magic.
So there's a brief and impressive history of Howard's series of unfortunate decisions. Just for fun, here are three more blunders he could make that would actually make his awful reputation even worse.
