During media availability on Friday of All-Star Weekend, Dwight Howard was asked about the possibility of becoming a member of the Lakers when he becomes a free agent in the summer of 2012.

"As of right now, I’m in Orlando and that’s the only thing on my mind, is getting our team back to the Finals,” responded Howard.

Later on, Dwight added that he has not "thought about what’s going to happen two years from now. I want to win a championship in Orlando and I want to do my best to try to get one there.”

Howard's current contract has an Early Termination Option for 2012, meaning that he could either become a free agent that summer or play the 2012-2013 under his current contract with the Magic.
