Howard's agent, Dan Fegan, who has not responded to requests for comment, also has to sign the ETO waiver for it to be valid.

WTF

I don't think Fegan would be Dwight's agent for much longer if he held up what his client wanted... not a good business strategy.

Agents are very persuasive...that's my concern. Agents live off using athletes as their pawns, and Dwight is easily influenced.

Yep, none of them (or nearly none) came here in our 'hour of despair.' Let's not turn into a bunch of jackasses.

Not to mention opting-in could likely just be a temporary fix... we may have to trade him next year and then those same Nets fans will be on our boards.

I saw that, too. How about Magic fans just stop trolling altogether? I think that's more annoying than other teams' trolls coming into our board. :roll:

He has to do what Dwight wants, right?

you would think so, but thats why agents get fired because some like to push their clients "to do whats best for them". i think fegan is deff holding up the signing. or dwights signed and waiting for some tweaks last minute to the roster

Dwight had a heart to heart with his family and friends over video chat last night, like I said last night he is opting in today before the game. Oh and stan +otis are getting fired at the end of the year.

in fact, history is basketball is full of change of hearts and more shocking ones than this. until the fat lady sings people.

dwight is just kid, you should GET that - unless you too are kids of course, then it is fine.

Everyone knew there was the off chance that he had a change of heart. The point is, it is not smart business to bank on that and put your blind faith in a person on the probability of that happening.

The only problem I have is with people questioning other people's intelligence on such a delicate and subjective point of reference. People were so confident that they basically might as well have said they were in dwight's head. I'm not talking about you when I say this, but people should not be so quick to insult others based on a subjective discussion.

If Fegan doesn't sign, he is fired. Howard would then become his own agent and sign his place. That simple. Of course if Fegan wants his huge payday in 2013, he will sign.

IF Dwight signs this ETO waiver, I think it's fair to speculate he could be shopping for a new agent. Which is okay with me

More information people, more information. Let's wait until we get it.

Dwight isn't going to sign anything NOW. He loses money if he does that.

Ken Berger
However, a person briefed on the conversation told @CBSSports that Howard told a Magic official today he would sign the ETO waiver.

Three Magic players tell Y! Sports (2 to @SpearsNBAYahoo) and one to me that Dwight Howard did not tell them he was opting in for next year.

Wait a minute. Are you a troll or did you truly know something? I reported your last night for that "Dwight is opting in" post last night.
