"I'm sure there's a way they can both Juwan and Drew come back next year, but I think it's fair to say that that's a chemistry issue and a maximizing-your-resources issue," Magic GM Weisbrod said. "The way it looked this season, it would be less than ideal to put ourselves in that position again."

Having said that and considering the fact that Gooden is almost 9 years younger than Howard, and has a shorter contract paying him annually less, it is safe to assume that the one likely to be available is Drew Gooden.
