Jameer Nelson is cool about Dwight Howard going away from Orlando Magic: NBA News
After Orlando Magic’s dazzling centre Dwight Howard made it known in his recent interview that he’ll hit the free agents market as soon as his pact with his franchise comes to an end next year, the best friend and the co-captain of the team Jameer Nelson showed lot of calmness and didn’t seem worry too.
Infect, Jameer told the Magic fans not to panic and stay cool, as this wasn’t as terrible as it seemed.
As during a charity event for Gametyme Foundation, Nelson said that, “I think it was blown out of proportion. I mean, whatever the guy says right now people are going toe it and run with it….
“People ask me every day what he’s going to do,” Nelson said. “I don’t know what he’s going to do. I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow. One thing I know is the guy is preparing to be the best player he can be this season, and that’s all I can say. I don’t know what his decision is going to be.
“Whatever he’s going to do, he’s like my little big brother. He’ll definitely have support from me. But obviously, he’s definitely wanted here in Orlando.”
Earlier, Howard had said in his interview that he can do better with a big team because here in Orlando he feels as if he is stuck in a very rough situation, where he had done a lot for everyone and but still didn’t get the kind of result which the big man was hoping for, as he is tired of doing others job.
However, Howard is still confused, as he loves the people of the city, who had named a burger after him and he feels the warmth in the stands when they cheer for him, which gives him lot of strength. Moreover, Howard’s fans in Orlando had made a website by the name of ‘Please Stay’ and now because of this love and warmth it has become quite difficult for the skilful player to make a decision.
Apart from this, the next hurdle the thrilling centre could face is the new labour agreement that’ll certainly affect his decision. However, still that doesn’t mean that Orlando will take immediate measures to prevent Howard from leaving because the franchise has now stuck with some bad contracts that wouldn’t allow them to build a good support cast around Dwight.
Therefore, it would be really for the Magic to stop Howard from leaving, who is eager to win a championship ring and that is not possible to come by if he persists with Orlando. So after considering these facts, Nelson’s point of view gives temporary hope to the Magic fans.
