Dwight Howard entered the offseason on shaky terms with his Atlanta Hawks team.

He expressed dissatisfaction about his lack of playing time late in the season and considering he’d left all of his first three teams — the Magic, Lakers and Rockets — on bad terms, you knew where this was going.

The Hawks, after a single year of relatively decent production from the big man, traded Howard on Tuesday to the Charlotte Hornets for Miles Plumlee, Marco Belinelli and a late draft pick.

Howard didn’t see it coming. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t be soliciting fans for questions about the NBA trade market — and “remember 2B-Nice,” he added.

Well, people weren’t remembering 2B-Nice.
