The Magic told Dwight Howard before the deadline that “he would be a Laker by the end of the day,” according to one source, if he did not sign an agreement to waive the opt-out clause for the final season of his contract.
Even though Howard's camp had permission to talk to the Nets, Mavericks and Lakers, he only wanted to go to the Nets.
“He was adamant: New Jersey, New Jersey, New Jersey,” a source claimed.
The Magic want to avoid a repeat of Howard's indecisiveness this summer.
“[The Magic] do not want to go through it all again,” said one source who claimed Orlando wants a commitment from Howard on an extension before training camp to avoid his bolting as a free agent in 2013. “[The Magic] are determined to avoid another year of that.”
Orlando preferred the trade offer from the Lakers that would include Andrew Bynum, Devin Ebanks and Steve Blake.

Stan Van Gundy disclosed on Thursday that Dwight Howard asked for him to be replaced.
"Dwight was also in on Brian Hill," one league source said. "People forget that. Stan is the second coach he's running out of there."
Hill was fired by the Magic after the 2007 season.

Otis Smith visited Dwight Howard in Los Angeles on Tuesday and reported that he is 10 to 15 pounds lighter, but has developed a slight belly.
"He seems to be good," Smith said. "He's a little perturbed that he can't be around. He's a little perturbed that he can't play at this time of the year especially."
Both Smith and Magic CEO Alex Martins said Howard has not asked for a trade. Howard underwent surgery to repair a herniated disk on April 20th.
