Yep. Basically all it did was delay the inevitable for another year

He would be hired in a heart beat IMO.
No way, make them fire him and they owe him the remainder of his contract.

Howard is such a douche..when the Knicks fans there were cheering really loud at the end of the game, and he was telling them to cheer louder by waiving his hands in the air...lol what a douche. I hope he doesn't get his way and is stuck in a shitty situation.

Amen, I just don't think he gets it. I've heard reports that he has a list of guys he wants to play with and its pretty funny. I know on NBA Today podcast they were making fun of it, saying the list was a joke and would be horrible pieces to put around him.

Yeah..I always thought D Howard was good for the league, for popularity reasons. But I always thought he came off kind of as a douche.

I wish a reporter after the game when he kept saying "I have no comment..I have no comment" would have just said fuck it and been like "look at yourself Dwight, you used to be one of the good guys in the NBA, people used to love you...now everyone hates you. You're embarrassing yourself. You can't even look us in the eye with a straight face and tell us the truth. You're a piece of shit, have fun being hated the rest of your career" Then just walked out..haha

I didn't watch the game, but my friend (a Magic fan) said Howard was barely trying. I've always been a fan of his, but he does seem to be turning into a tool.

That clip when the reporters called him out was pretty telling IMO. He had that look like "oh shit" when someone gets called out.

Didn't Big Baby (they have 2 now I guess) go for 31 and 10 in his place the other night?

The stress of being a zillionaire. Poor guy.

He had 8 and 8.

He should be able to just walk on the floor and get 8 and 8. Yeah, he wasn't trying.

Lol....I'd pay good money to see your face once you realized you went too far.

I used to like him a decent bit as a player....don't really care anymore.

Dwight knows what he is doing...
And yes, after all that opt-in, opt-out, opt-back-in drama, Howard will almost certainly leave the Magic sometime next year, probably for the Nets. Most superstars get to kill off only one coach, "and Dwight was also in on Brian Hill," the league source said. "People forget that. Stan is the second coach he's running out of there."
