Magic’s Howard says trade request still stands
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)—Magic center Dwight Howard has made it a point to avoid social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook as talk continued to swirl this week about his request to be traded to another team.
But on Saturday fans will get their first opportunity in person to express how they feel about the All-Star’s desires when the team holds an open scrimmage at the Amway Center.
It could be the first awkward reception the fan-favorite Howard has ever received in the year-old arena.
Howard said Thursday that his trade request hasn’t been withdrawn; a day after Magic general manager Otis Smith shook off questions about what offers he’d received and said that trade discussions involving him “could go to the end of the season.”
The team is off Friday, it’s first break since training camp opened last week.
“There’s no back and forth,” Howard said. “It still stands and we know what’s going on. I talked to Otis today. What we talked about is gonna stay between me and him.”
我都有D唔耐煩了，係走快D走，宜家成隊士氣都唔荒高得去邊~
