Another day, another Dwight Howard rumor.  Forget the one about him willing to sign an extension with the Los Angeles Lakers.  That was yesterday's story. His agent says that was never true.  "Dwight's position has remained unchanged since the end of this past season," Dan Fegan told Ric Bucher of ESPN. "He fully intends to explore free agency at the end of next season, regardless of what team trades for him, including Brooklyn."  JEREMY LIN: Will Linsanity continue in Houston?  You can understand teams twisting themselves like pretzels to get a guy who averages 18.4 points, 13.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocked shots. But what is in Dwight's heart?  The guy who opted in contract-wise with Orlando, but opted-out heart-wise, has made it clear he wants to be in Brooklyn. When that didn't work out we've heard the Lakers, Rockets and Mavericks. And of course he's still in Orlando.  But with Howard looking to be rented for 2012-13 anything is now possible.  If you had to bet, where do you think Howard will be playing at the end of the upcoming season?  While we move some chess pieces, here is some good work by some good people that we might have missed while sleeping or wondering if the major drought is over for Tiger Woods.
