"It's nothing against LeBron or Carmelo, but to me, I think Dwight's a pretty loyal guy," said Hawks forward Josh Powell, who has been close with Howard since their childhood in Atlanta. "I know he's hurting right now. He's been with that team since day one. I would assume and expect he would stay there. But it's tough on him to see them get as close as they got two years ago and then fall back."
Powell waited outside the Magic's locker room for Howard to emerge. He did the same thing two years ago while a member of the Lakers after they defeated the Magic in Orlando.
"He's built so many relationships with the fans, the city," said Powell, who is as close to Howard as any player in the league. "He's the face of the organization and the face of that city. The guy has been weathering the storm all year long. He's shown how dominant he is. Can't nobody question what he's given them. But he has a right to do what he wants to do. I'm sure the organization will find a way to please their superstar, so to speak. It's going to be an interesting summer."
