@HowardBeckNYT: Stan Van Gundy just acknowledged that Dwight Howard has asked that he be fired.
@Ian_OConnor: Howard comes in hugs Stan and doesn't realize Stan just confirmed story
@Al_Iannazzone
Stan Van Gundy may not be coaching tonight's game after all this. Howard had no idea what SVG said. It was wild.

Dwight Howard has managed to make LeBron look like a PR master.

It's honestly unbelievable. What a total failure.

His goal was to “not be the bad guy.”

Karma is a bitch.

It will be as bad as LeBron once he starts getting hour long specials televised on major networks.

RT @MagicInsider One player's comments to me: "Our problem isn't Stan (Van Gundy). We got one guy who wants to run the show."


RT @MagicInsider Magic player to me: "I know Dwight will be gone after next season."


RT @MagicInsider Ryan Anderson on SVG: "I won't le to you. It's very frustrating...after all that crap (Howard's traded demand)."


RT @MagicInsider Magic player to me about lockeroom climate: "We're split."


RT @MagicInsider Hedo Turkoglu on Stan Van Gundy: "I want Stan to be my coach forever."


RT @MagicInsider Ryan Anderson on Stan Van Gundy: "I love Stan. I think he's a great coach for us."


RT @MagicInsider Ryan Anderson: "..Now all of a sudden it's chaos."

I thought I'd be sick of Dwight by now, but i'm actually becoming accustomed to this charade.

Wow, I thought this couldnt get any better. Half the players and SVG versus Dwight and the other half of the players.

I feel bad for the Magic organization and its fans.

I don't think so. They're definitely not going to keep Stan over him and unless he demands to be traded (for real this time, not on-again, off-again trade demands), they really have no reason to trade him.

Dwight Howard got excited off a win against Miami and thought the Magic have actually a shot to contend lawl.

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.
