08:06 AM ET 09.03 | No hard feelings? Dwight Howard is professing his love for the city of Orlando and its fans. Howard purchased a full-page ad in [Sunday's] Orlando Sentinel to convey the message. In that ad, which appears on Page C7, Howard said, "To play the game of basketball in the NBA is a blessing and to have had the opportunity to play before the Orlando fans for eight years was truly a privilege and an honor. Words cannot express the love that I have for Orlando. With your support we have done great things in this city from hanging banners to impacting our youth. Although my career with the Magic has come to a close, my love for the city and the people that make it beautiful will never end."

I wonder who wrote the message for Howard. It would have more meaning if these guys would write their farewell speech.

Howard should just shut up and play ball. Let his play on the court do the speaking.

The best the that Dwight can do is to stop talking about how much he loved Orlando and it's fans. It's just him rubbing salt into the wound.
