(WSCR) Apparently the firing of head coach Stan Van Gundy wasn’t quite good enough for Dwight Howard.
Howard’s disdain for Van Gundy was well-document, yet, according to a report, the three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year still wants out of Orlando.
The following is based on a report from SheridanHoops.com.
A source who has spoken with Howard recently said the All-Star center desperately wants to be traded prior to the start of next season. … The source said Howard wants out of Orlando more than he ever did before in order to start a new chapter of his career. And it is well-known throughout the league that the Magic do not want to endure another soap opera season like the one they just experienced. … If Howard tells them he wants out, they are expected to try to accomodate him and deal him to the highest bidder.
This report comes months after Howard signed a one-year extension, ensuring he would remain in Orlando for the 2012-13 season.
The report indicates the Magic would hope to include Hedo Turkoglu and his $23.6 million owed over the next two seasons in a potential Howard trade.
