So wait Howard will stay?

This is the Place I want to be but changes needed

Dwight Howard appears to be open to remaining with the Magic following a meeting with the team.

But Howard continues to insist that "changes" are made to improve their roster.

"This is the place I want to be but some things have to change," said Howard.

According to Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel, Howard "framed it as only a remote possibility".

I'm so confused right now! LOL

PR damage control.

Well hopefully he feels he needs to repair his image so much that he chooses to stay. Benefit.... 1.) He's still in the East, 2.) He's not a Laker.

I don't see what the Magic can do to make him happy?

Too bad Orlando can't get Cp3 and keep them both out of LA. But looking at the Orlando roster they got nothing to trade or build on. Howard will not stay.

Translation: I'm gone at the end of the year, so you should probably trade me now where I want to go so you can at least get a draft pick or two.

Yeah seems like a "pipe-dream". With the Amnesty to Arenas; they are still a little over cap. Their only trading chip is Nelson. Wait a minute.... If Stern really wants to fuck with Lakers; he should support this deal!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA.....

I was just looking at Trade Machine with us involved, and wow, Orlando is a mess.

Nelson is their only piece. You get rid of him, then you need a PG. No wonder Howards wants out. Their management really fucked shit up over there.

Anderson is another piece. He is a nice big

I'd enjoy seeing him end up with the Bulls. ECFs with Wade/James vs. Rose/Howard would be some great basketball!

The Orlando roster reminds me of the Cavs just over a year ago when Lebron left. Outside of their one superstar its a lottery team that would still be over the salary cap. Possibly even worst team in the league as Cavs were. They tried to surround Howard with overpaid talent and now have no flexibility. They would've been better adding nobody, like the Heat did with Wade. But because they tried to surround Dwight with veterans and win now, they'll lose him. Can't blame Dwight, the magic made horrible personnel moves and he's sick of it.

I would love to see Dwight stay the entire year in Orlando. The Magic are apparently trying to use the 2007 Kobe Bryant tactic.

That said, he could easily still be gone. They're waiting for the right deal.

Anderson is another piece. He is a nice big

Anderson is probably their second best player. Hopefully he stays healthy, for their sake.
