re: Dwight Howard trade is dead

The Magic have suspended Dwight Howard trade talks as they search for their next head coach, according to sources.

Orlando had been engaged in trade talks with the Nets, Lakers and Rockets on a trade involving Howard.

Rob Hennigan informed Howard that the Magic attempted to make a deal, but none of the offers met the team's asking price.

Brian Shaw, Mike Malone, Lindsey Hunter and Jeff Hornacek are amongst the candidates to become the next head coach of Orlando.

The Nets were up against a deadline in their negotiations for Howard due to the unresolved free agency of Brook Lopez and Kris Humphries.
