Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard asked fans on Twitter about potential trades coming down the pipeline in this busy NBA offseason, ironically enough he was unaware that he was going to be traded just five minutes after his tweet.

Life works in funny ways and surprises come faster than a grandmother slap in this fast-paced offseason that has seen plenty of stars be rumored to be on the trade block as we sit less than 48 hours away from the NBA Draft.

Howard was moved from his hometown Atlanta Hawks along with the 31st overall selection in a salary-dump maneuver in exchange for shooting guard Marco Belinelli, center Miles Plumlee and the 41st pick in the draft.
