08:05 AM ET 03.15 | It's rare that conflicting stories can all be true -- that Dwight Howard wanted to stay in Orlando, and he wanted to leave. Howard confirmed to RealGM on Wednesday evening that he will terminate his early termination option and stay in Orlando for at least the 12-13 season. Howard also realizes the impact that his indecision has caused and wants to make things right in the city that has watched him grow both professionally and personally since he came into the NBA in 2004 as the first overall pick. "Man, listen, you know my heart, my soul and everything I have is in Orlando," Howard told RealGM. ... "I have gotten some bad advice," Howard said. "I apologize for this circus I have caused to the fans of our city."

He has already said he is leaving after saying he would stay, what a diva. Just get it over with Magic.

He won't do it, and the Magic would be dumb to let him stay.

Not one report has him signing the opt in, you are making that up.

Is he staying or going? Is he going or staying? I guess we will find an answer later today.

Man if Orlando screws up and don't trade him they'll be crying wolf when the season is over. I definitely aint buying from this Howard teenage PMS act of indecision and games. How can you call yourself a man if you can't make decisions for yourself... blaming sh!!t in bad advice... get the F out Dwight...

yeah that was a good game, I honestly just think those two teams match up against each other really well. Anthony does a really good job of rebounding and toughness in the paint. Their bench just has to show up, nobody from the second unit did a thing, and that is not gonna get it done. Riley went with what looked good at the time, Beasley looked like he was going to be amazing in college, you just can't evaluate what's going on inside sometimes. Looks like the lakers are willing to roll the dice on him.

Then another report came out not too long after saying he would not, he did say that but never signed the paperwork, now the current report is he will be dealt, as Broussard said on live television after the Bulls game. He will not commit and the Magic are trading him. Go to any sports site right now and you will see it.

If howard signs on to stay for one more year then the ball is in orlandos hands. They have all off season to make it work putting the pieces together and if not then you already know what it is.. Hes gone.. I think its a fair deal.. The magic have a good chance in him staying if they dont mess it up.
