Is it wishful thinking that the Lakers believe they will get D. Howard?

The media is pushing Dwight out of Orlando. They say stuff that makes him think of going somewhere else. He even tweeted his disdain for it. Also, the Nuggets traded Carmello and Chauncey for Gallinari and some other guys, so don't be surprised if the same happens in Orlando, so that they will not end up like Cleveland without a star when the contract expired.
