Chris Mannix: In a meeting with Magic GM Rob Hennigan and assistant GM Scott Perry, Howard was firm that he wanted a deal as soon as possible now
Hennigan
oh my this is really bad...I still say he lands in Houston..I'm looking for Orlando to cut their nose off to spite their face...Dwight though is playing hardball..they have 3 options according to Dwight..Houston would be straight up fools if they traded him after reading this:
Howard was staunch in his stance and again made it clear to Hennigan that he has no desire to return to Orlando. He told the 30-year-old general manager that he would “never sign another contract with the Magic,” sources tell RealGM.During the meeting, Howard informed Hennigan that he would be willing to re-sign with the Lakers at the end of the 12-13 season if the two teams were able to complete a trade. The scenarios Howard was open to during the meeting were: An immediate trade to the Lakers, a January trade to the Brooklyn Nets or a clean break at the end of the 2012-13 season. But he was clear that he would not return to the Magic, choosing to leave as a free agent after the season, sources said.Hennigan informed Howard that he didn’t have any deals in the works and wasn’t quite sure how to respond to what he was told, according to sources. He was non-committal on any of the discussed scenarios as the meeting ended.Hennigan’s noncommittal approach has only frustrated Howard more as it’s believed that several acceptable offers have been presented to the Magic only to be turned down due to a lack of a true intent to trade the All-Star center, sources said.There is now a belief that Hennigan and the Magic have half-heartedly entered into trade talks which has resulted in frustration among the many teams rumored to have included in the ongoing negotiations.
Trading Howard, however, is a process the Magic won’t rush as they understand his value on and off the court and aren’t willing, at this point, to lose him without acceptable compensation.

Dwight told Hennigan to either trade him to LA immediately, trade him to Brooklyn in January or let him walk at seasons end. (via RealGM)
Yeesh
Dwight, if you didn't sign that option you could have walked by now... smh
The "sources" for all of that are Dwight and his agent. The "writer" should just stop pretending that he is any sort of journalist and admit that he is acting as Dwight's publicist in all this business.
Adrian Wojnarowski: Howard wondered to Hennigan why offers on table w/ Nets and Lakers prior to Joe Johnson and Steve Nash deals were rejected, source says. 2 minutes ago
they would be complete fools to keep him around after this...talk about cancer...this won't be pretty and with a new coach..they have to trade him no way they wait and let him walk...gotta get some value..Dwight has basically said if he's not traded to LA or Brooklyn he's going to over who ever trades for him...
It doesn't matter..Hennnigan made a huge mistake in waiting this long to trade Dwight..his arrogance will likely force him into a real ty deal now unless he takes Bynum or makes a deal with OKC..He will be crucified in the court of public opinion...His youth is showing
Because Hennigan's job is to improve the Magic, and not just to give Dwight what he wants? If Dwight's determined to the team in the ass, I can't think of a single reason they should go out of their way to facilitate that.

Howard's camp has consistently warned Houston not to trade for him, that he'd march right into Dallas' cap space next summer.
or patience...
now you think it's funny..I told you that for the longest...Houston would be foolish to part with their picks...Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA

This is just pure opinion, but to me this reeks of a new guy trying to puff out his chest and prove he belongs and can't be bullied, yada yada yada.
Given that people are trying to bully him, I don't see that he has much choice.
yeah patient stupidity...both he and Howard are devaluing his stock...
unless OKC offers Ibaka and Harden he's a dam fool..and I'd rather have Bynum over Harding and Perkins...dude is fool...he's trying to be like David Stern
Even Woj commented how his shuffling of feet has hurt them.
It seems more like not wanting to do a re ed move that his predecessor would have.
Adrian Wojnarowski: Orlando officials have repeatedly told people they want the kind of knockout package Denver received for Anthony, but will it present self? 4 minutes ago
They are really inept if they think the situation compares. Its so far from apples to apples that you can't use that as a baseline.
And in the end probably doing a move thats even more re ed.
Bynum is better than anything Denver received for Melo..Hennigan is a moron

Still can't see them ending up significantly worse off than they would be if they took what already has been offered. Any chance for significant improvement comes by exercising patience.
