I think the only thing that would give the Magic pause doing that deal is their history with the #1 pick and how they've had not one but TWO big men picked #1 walk out on that franchise. I still hope they do it, especially if they can get rid of Hedo with it.

Who the hell is talking for the Magic if they don't have a GM?

And I'm pretty sure I just read the Cavs GM and most of the staff is on vacation.

The Cavs would offer Tristan Thompson and Anderson Varejao, if that, the Magic would not be interested.

More realistically, we'd be the 3rd team in a deal helping it get done for someone else.

Dwight Howard regrets his decision to forgo his early termination option on his 12-13 contract, according to sources

Howard seeks a trade before next season and his camp is applying pressure on the Magic to pursue a deal as soon as a new general manager is in place.

Several GM candidates have been creating trade scenarios involving Howard and proposing them to CEO Alex Marins during the interview process.

Only reason he picked it up was because he didn't want to lose all that endorsement money.

lol Dwight's handlers really suck

it's gotten to the point now where no one cares where he goes. so he could go to Brooklyn and it will be meh

He didn't want to play in Houston, actually. Had he not signed the agreement, he is a Rocket

That's probably true, but that's not the reason he signed the contract. Had he not signed it, he'd be a Free Agent right now, whether he was traded to the Rockets or not. He would've lost a shit ton of endorsement and knew it wasn't a hit he wanted to take.

Howard picked up the option for the final year of his contract with Orlando on March 15. But since then, he has grown increasingly disgruntled with the organization, even telling people close to him that he feels the Magic blackmailed him into signing the "opt-in" clause.

Howard shared his feelings of being blackmailed by the Magic with the NBA Players Association last week, sources said. He -- either himself or through his representatives -- approached the union wondering if he might have a legal complaint against the club.

The goal of such a complaint would be to eliminate his "opt-in," thereby allowing Howard to become a free agent this summer.

Sources said the union has no plans to pursue any such legal action against the Magic.
If this thing was a joke before, what is it now? Appeal to the NBA to undo the opt-in? Dwight's a fucker.

I have no idea what he is saying in that GIF

But I do hate Dwight now. He has handled this worse than anyone I have seen.

I hope he tears his ACL in preseason.
