The saga is finally over, Dwight Howard has elected to remain in Orlando through next season. He seemed determined to bolt just a few weeks ago in what had to be the most indecisive free agent situation ever.
Dwight Howard has waived the early termination option in his current contract and will remain with the Orlando Magic for the 2012-13 season, his manager told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. “He is giving up all of his leverage and his free agency in a show of commitment to his team and most importantly the fans of Orlando,” said Kevin Samples, Howard’s manager. The Magic have insisted on receiving paperwork that would eliminate the clause in Howard’s contract that would enable him to end his contract a year early and become a free agent in July.
Dwight Howard just texted me that he has signed the waiver of his Early Termination Option.
