Then he is asked about his role in the rebuilding Magic and if he is going to be taking more responsibilities on the court without Dwight Howard. He replied: ” Of course it is going to be a different team, our roles will be different. Actually it’s the reason why I’m going to USA this early, as Magic is in a rebuilding process we have new players, coaches and managers. I wanted to go there as soon as possible to see my new role and talk with the staff to understand their expectations from me. I really want to have a good season in my 13rd year in the NBA and I have both physical and mental capabilities to do that. I hope to stay away from injuries and have a successful season. ” TrendBasket

Magic executives are said to be unimpressed with the assets Howard's three preferred teams could provide in a trade, prompting them to engage in a calculated campaign to expand the field of potential suitors beyond the Nets, Mavericks and Lakers.
