follow the leader, 1 person makes a statement and the twitter world comes alive talking about their sources
Orlando Magic General Manager Rob Hennigan met with the franchise’s disenchanted superstar Dwight Howard today in Los Angeles, according to sources.
Hennigan traveled to Los Angeles to have a face-to-face discussion with Howard with the hopes of persuading him to back off of his trade request and allow the organization more time to build a championship contender. Hennigan, however, was unsuccessful in his sales pitch as Howard reiterated his desire to leave Orlando as soon as possible, according to sources.
Hennigan’s sale pitch had a heavy focus on the two men developing a relationship that would be valuable to the Magic moving forward. He expressed a sincere interest in getting to know the six-time All-Star and working with him to improve the team. Howard, however, was expecting an outline of how the team planned to improve and get back to a championship-contending level, something he didn’t receive during the hour-long meeting, according to sources.
Howard was staunch in his stance and again made it clear to Hennigan that he has no desire to return to Orlando. He told the 30-year-old general manager that he would “never sign another contract with the Magic,” according to sources.

...but finding no acceptable deal. Magic waiting so long after draft and start of free agency to get serious on Howard deals has hurt offers
