Howard Remains in Orlando

After much attention throughout the season surrounding Dwight Howard asking to be traded from the Orlando Magic, Howard has decided to remain in Orlando, well at least for another year.  Right before the trade deadline Howard signed papers that agreed to waive the early termination option in his contract, guaranteeing that he will be a Magic for the 2012-2013 season.

Dwight had continuously asked for a trade starting during preseason up until this week.  Speculations began to swirl during preseason that Howard would up a Laker or maybe a Net or maybe even a Celtic.  The drama surrounding Howard being traded topped the "Melo"drama of last year and kept fans tuned in to see if the best "big man" in the league today would stay or leave Orlando.  Well now we know that Howard opted to stay in Orlando in hopes of giving the Magic a chance at a run in the playoffs.  Howard felt by the decision he made today it will give the Magic the opportunity to build a championship contender team next season.  We'll see how this turns out, maybe now the Magic organization may include Howard on some of the decisions they make, as the reason Howard asked for a trade was due to the frustration he had with the Magic front office for not including him in decisions so they were building a team "around" him.
