New respect for this man!

He isn't losing money. ESPN are just flat stupid. They think that even if Howard opts in, the Magic plan on trading him, basically saying Howard gives up his rights.

The last year of Howard's contract is 19+ million. If he was to opt out and sign a new 5 year deal, it would start at about 17 million. He is actually making about 2 million more opting in, then signing a 5 year deal in the summer of 2013, then opting out and signing a brand new deal in the summer of 2012.

I want to win sooo badly this year. Hopefully, this team plays with a clear mind for the rest of the season.

Orlando has more pressing things to take care of then signing Sam Young

Sorry, meant trading for Sam Young

Really? You must be really smart.

Just stating the obvious. This whole thing is tense!

I think that Dwight actually did the right thing. We have to remember he is still a very young guy and this is first time dealing with this type of experience. I am glad that he is going to stay loyal to Orlando and willing to stay the course but next time, there is most important thing he needs to remember.

1. In somebody eyes, you are going to be the Hero or the Villian no matter what you want and try to do. To the Orlando fans and most of the NBA fans, he is the Hero but for the Nets and Media, he is the Villian. If he changes his mind, then its flip. At the end of the day, he must understand that he needs to do what is best for him and family. That is all.

They haven't gone back to talking about Dwight. Bucher did his top 5 power rankings.

1.2. Bulls and Heat I forgot the order
3. Celtics
4. Magic
5. Pacers
