The team doctor for the Orlando Magic said he believes Dwight Howard will recover fully after undergoing back surgery on Friday, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Dr. Craig Mintzer told the newspaper that Howard is doing well after the surgery and should recover in about four months without complications.

"He shouldn't have restrictions whatsoever. He should come back fully. There shouldn't be an issue there. Really, it's just a matter of time," Mintzer told the Sentinel.

"Fully recover" is a little vague I guess and isn't the same as saying Dwight will play at the same level as before. I think it's a risk the Nets have to take though. He has only one year left on his contract anyway.

Is that the same Orlando team doctor who failed to spot the herniated disc and broken back fragments? I still can't believe that the Magic's medical staff missed it, and it was only when he went to LA for a second opinion that it got diagnosed.

Yeah man, Grant Hill was suppose to do big things with Tmac in his prime at Orlando.
But their medical staff is just like ours, things didn't start getting good till he joined The Suns.
Grant Hill is an amazing player that came back and fought hard for the love of the game and $ that he got for free.
It is time for him to chase his ring, so Lakers, Heat, OKC, Bulls, and of course we will get interest even if there is 0, just saying...

Then I took the liberty to look at his season stats, 41% fg%..32% from DT..

Even if the NETS some how land Howard, they would have the arguably the worse supporting cast in the history of the NBA..

Maybe for year 1 but after that they will be stacked. They will get 1 of the top MLE and LLE players. Plus the best vet min players. Bench will be weak in year 1 but after that they will have a Top 3 Roster top 2 Bottom easy in the NBA.

Williams
Johnson
Illakan Karaman
Wallace
Dwight

Clark
Richardson
Evans
vet minimium

That's a lot better than what the Knicks are trotting out there.

Howard is better than Chandler/Amare combined, Deron most would take over Melo and Joe Johnson getting feeds off of screens from DWill and kickouts from Howard will be unstoppable. Throw in the kid from Europe and I think the Heat should be very worried.

Melo better lose 15 more pounds and Amare better drop all the weight he added, because we are going to need Camby, Courtney Lee and whoever else to compete with these guys.

Maybe we should wait and see if the guy with the broken back can play before we hand them titles? I hope they do get Dwight...

yea.. and Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill are the next Michael and Scotty. How was Dwight in the playoffs last year? Looked great huh?

I don't wish bad on anybody, but come on, every Gm in the League HATES New York Knicks, and screws us all the time.
While the league is forming an alliance with a dream team with our BKLYN NETS.
Stern should Cp3 this trade and fire all of Magic's personal.

What was this CBA about again? Not giving horrible contracts, and not allowing SUPER TEAMS being formed?
Fail, Fail, Fail...

The Cavs had six years to put together a team to keep Lebron. If you're a billionaire like Dan Gilbert, why aren't you overpaying the best front office executives in the league. If you give your prime to an organization and the best they give you is Mo Williams, Jamison, Larry Hughes and make horrific signings why wouldn't you leave.

Same goes for the Magic. Gilbert Arenas, Rashard Lewis, Jason Richardson. They gave away one of the best big men (Gortat)in the entire league for virtual garbage couldn't bring in a difference maker. Look at the team dwight was on if you exchange amare or chandler that's a lottery squad and one of the worst teams in the NBA.

The Knicks are an embarrasment. After trading Ewing we have made some of the worst moves in the history of this league, fired good people, allowed a classless scumbag general manager to alienate fans, sexual harrass employees and create a culture of garbage. I must say it's amusing and fitting that the Nets are about to complete this deal and hand the Knicks their ass. We finally established a plan, brought in a great GM in Walsh and then the owner usurped power, forced a trade, gave up power to a diva superstar and again pushed for big names without a blueprint. It's not fun watching a game dominate the ball. Watching guys like Lin, Fields, Novak, Chandler and Jefferies play smart basketball was the best part of last season. They better pry that Melo understands he can be a top 5 player by getting everyone in the flow of the game and picking his spots. If not New York belongs Brooklyn.

Dwight is clearly better than Williams, Johnson, and Wallace.
