True to his word, Dwight Howard has waived his early termination option, locking him into his contract for next season, manager Kevin Samples tells Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel (Twitter link). Chris Broussard of ESPN.com received a text from Howard himself confirming the news (Twitter link).
SI.com's Sam Amick (all Twitter links) says the league has agreed to execute the paperwork without the verification letter from agent Dan Fegan that would usually be required. The Magic have announced, via press release, that they'll hold a press conference at 1:00pm local time.
Zach Lowe of SI.com examines the ripple effect that Howard's official opt-in will cause across the league.
Glad that BS is over lol. The Magic are a good team and will make noise in the playoffs
Only noise theyll be making is coming out of Howard’s big mouth.
Why???????¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
Fuck you Howard
The
Magic should trade him to send him a message plus they can get a better haul now that he is under contract for next season. And you know they are going to deal with this drama next season anyway
