Look how he puts himself at the same level as anyone else by not being up there on the podium. He sits down right in front of the media. That shows class and respect.

#Magic GM Rob Hennigan says he will not comment on whether @DwightHoward will be dealt on draft night.

Right here, he easily could have said "no, not until I meet with Dwight will we determine his future" and killed all speculation around a draft day deal. I find that questionable.

I really hope they stream the Magic war-room during draft night... I find it entertaining

But it would've also killed any bidding war that teams who are making packages for Dwight may or may not be building. Even if he's confident we can keep Dwight, why burn the bridge on your escape plan?
