Even if it was leaked by his agent or something to pressure the Magic to do something, it's worthwhile.

Here's the guy's profile if you didn't bother to look, btw:

"Sports Columnist for The Huffington Post, inc. my Huff Post blog, The Schultz Report. All-State/college 2-guard. Appeared on MSNBC and WNBC. Animal activist."

Again, take it for what it's worth, as well as the idea that Howard would actually sit a whole season. Personally, I do wonder if this is just the Howard camp's way of saying "you better get a move on, Magic"

The admiral broke his foot. He's a proud olympian, served for this country and is a HOF with a couple championships...but it's kinda the same thing.

Classic baby move, you need to have everything for yourself and other people don't matter in your decision making progress. Was it really that hard to opt out you moron? Is it so difficult to take the one year QO if you want to play for a different team?

If he sits out I hope the Magic not only fine him his entire salary, but turn around and sue him for breach of contract, and 3 times the financial damages he creates for the team. That should be enough that his career earnings will still leave him in the hole considerably.

Dwight won't really sit out, he'll make up a fake injury and say he can't play. Then he can't be punished and he still gets paid. Lol, he'll probably come back right at the end of the season to screw up the Magic's lottery pick too.

Why can't the Magic just ask Dwight to stay away at this point?

Knicks did it to Marbury, Pacers did it to Tinsley. Just tell him to go away. Don't trade him, just let him walk. Have him sit where ever he wants the entire season. This is waaaay worse than anything Lebron ever did. Now that I think about it, LeBron was treated very unfairly, he honored his contract and he chose a different team during free agency. And this is coming from a Bron hater.

Lakers, Hawks and Rockets are loving this.

this guy's value couldn't get any lower man. Hennigan is getting screwed big time by Howard.

I expect Hennigan to start another bidding war. That seems to be his M.O. everytime there's a rumor lowering Howard's trade value.
