Nelson, 30, rejoined the only team he’s ever played for in the NBA after spending four days as a free agent. The veteran point guard exercised an opt-out clause in his contract on Friday, officially became a free agent on Sunday and agreed to a deal on Thursday morning. He’ll sign his new contract with the Magic on July 11, the first day that NBA free agents are allowed to finalize contracts with teams. ``It’s great. This is the place that I wanted to be and to know that they wanted me back is a really great feeling,’’ Nelson said. ``I’m just glad we were able to come to an agreement. I’ve said it before and I mean it – I love the City of Orlando. The city has embraced me and watched me grow as a professional. And obviously, the DeVos family and the organization mean so much to my family, and they played the biggest role in me being back here.’’ NBA.com

Nelson said that conducting himself in a professional manner and leading teammates has always been a big part of his persona with the Magic. ``A lot of things get overlooked by people. But it really doesn’t matter to me what people outside the locker room judge about a player. To me, it matters most what people inside the locker room think,’’ Nelson said. ``As a professional and a leader, you have to do things that don’t always show up on the stat sheet. I carry myself as a professional on and off the court. It shows that I carry myself the right way and I’m the man that my parents raised me to be. The hard work that they put in is showing.’’ NBA.com

Nelson said he’s talked repeatedly this summer with Howard, the Magic’s embattled superstar who has once again requested a trade. Nelson said that most of all he has tried to be supportive of Howard as a friend and not pester him with questions about his future. ``I’ve communicated with him quite a few times. He has decisions to make as well. I’ve tried to just be a friend to him and not talk so much about the other (trade) stuff,’’ Nelson said. ``I know everybody else in the world is talking about that. I hear it from people walking on the street wondering, `What’s Dwight going to do?’ Whatever he does I hope he’s happy and committed to it.’’ NBA.com

But Nelson’s entry into the unrestricted free-agent market doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be leaving the Magic.
