If only Dwight Howard had listened to the sage advice of Orlando Magic owner Rich DeVos, he’d be a legend right now instead of a leftover.
He’d be a Central Florida icon instead of an NBA journeyman.

The Hawks traded Howard to the Charlotte Hornets Tuesday night for $24, 10 beaver pelts and some glass beads.
