Damn... is Dwight staying at Orlando going to be at the cost of the entire Orlando Magic franchise and fan base?Report: Dwight Howard wants Stan van Gundy fired
It looked like everything was behind them, for at least another year. When Dwight Howard waived his early termination option, it finally appeared the Magic could go play some basketball completely distraction free.
Nope. According to WKMG Local 6 Sports Director Dave Pingalore, Howard wants Stan Van Gundy fired.
Pingalore's Magic sources confirm that Howard continues to convey to team owners that he wants a change in the coaching staff.If you recall, this isn't the first time this has come up and Van Gundy explicity and very humorously said he doesn't care about being fired. He said then it's the process of being fired that's bad because that normally includes a lot of losing. So if he were fired over something like this, he wouldn't care.
There was an ESPN.com report before the trade deadline that Howard told the Magic to fire Van Gundy. Both parties denied that rumor.
But as one league source told Pingalore, firing Van Gundy will not come as a surprise to people that work in the NBA and that it would come from the direction of Howard.
The league source did say this is pretty much a done deal based on Howard's demands, and the Magic are already putting pieces together to make a decision after the season.
However, one Magic player who did not want his named used said that there is still is a possibility that Van Gundy could return.
“(I) do not think Stan leaving is a done deal yet,” said the player.
Van Gundy has never had an issue holding back his thoughts which is maybe one reason the team, including Howard, reportedly want a change. He hammers on players. There was even a report last season that Van Gundy agreed to tone it down a little bit at Howard's request.
But as was the case with the Howard trade saga, the Magic need to do some housekeeping. They have way too many leaks, way too many holes in their ship. Too many people talk. They need to keep this stuff in house, in private and handle it outside of media reports. Because now, Van Gundy is going to be asked about this, he'll talk about it and round and round it goes.
The Magic were granted a reprieve from the governor with Howard. And now both he, and the team, need to take advantage of that and just shut up and play ball.

Not a peep. Uh, uh.
We started down this path with Media's blessing.
Let us proceed...
They can hire Spoelstra after Pat Riley fires him in June.
Non-issue. It's just a coach.
Howard is easily the most annoying player in the NBA, at this point, I have no idea how anybody could possibly rank Lebron or Kobe above him, tbh..
...assholeishness. Nothing more.
SVG confirms the report.
Orlando
Good news for the magic
Video from this morning of SVG and Howard. Especially awkward moment around the 3 minute mark:

smh@management for ratting dwight out to van gundy. I hope he strings them along all off season then signs with somebody else.
You can see (and hear) how much Stan dislikes bull ting....and then Dwight comes in, wraps up Stan, trying his damage-control skillz, basically bull ting them all. Stan gets the heck out of it. Howard is upset his demands got leaked, lol, yet plays over it.
But hey, Championship! You can get it if you really want.
lol Dwight.
Are we still on for tomorrow night?
Okay. But, remember if I lose my week doesn't start until Monday at Noon. I have to sit next to the old lady next week as she does the income tax. I haven't a choice. I either sit, or, for a change she'll abuse me.
I don't blame Dwight. When a head coach and the teams star dont get along or it just isnt working, someones gotta go. I never liked van gundy to begin with
howard is such a to the media.
Most of it is caused by Dwight's constant whining.
i watched about a minute of it... then skipped to the 3 minute mark... haha, i just saw howard with his arm around van gundy and it was awkward enough for me to immediately stop watching.
Magic Johnson fired Westhead
Nothing new here
LeBron looks like a saint compared to Dwight tbh.
I think SVG is a good coach ... but cant forget Shaq calling him the "king of panic"
Maybe he just doesnt get along with dominant big men with limited post moves ...
Dwight Howard is a Cancer tbfh, I've lost so much respect for this guy.
