Jeff Van Gundy: Magic can't let Dwight Howard "straddle the fence"Stan Van Gundy cannot say what the Magic must do with Dwight Howard, but Jeff Van Gundy can.
The most outspoken, tell-it-like-it-is NBA commentator this side of Charles Barkley says the Magic must take the offensive and find out immediately what Dwight Howard's future plans are. No dilly-dallying or attention-hounding, LeBron-sounding tapdancing until the end of the season.
"What teams like Orlando (with Dwight Howard) and New Orleans (with Chris Paul) have learned from the LeBron thing is that you can't let the players be in control of the situation," says Jeff Van Gundy, the ABC-ESPN analyst who happens to be the brother of the Magic's coach. "…
"You either have to get a player to declare that he's all the way in with you or that he's all the way out and wants to move on. You can't let him straddle the fence the whole year and risk losing him for nothing."I've said this before and I'll say it again, Otis Smith needs to invite Dwight Howard and his agent into his office ASAP, plug in the Tom Petty Greatest Hits CD and cue it up to, "I Need to Know."
好同意
Howard成日話傳媒炒作,但又冇實際行動去證明自己真係想留低
