While the Magic will entertain trade offers for Dwight Howard, they will attempt to repair their relationship and improve their team around him.

Sources therefore say that the Magic have no plans to trade Howard.

Alex Martins, new CEO of the franchise, met with Howard on Monday.

"I love this city, there is no place I'd rather be but Orlando," Howard said. "I just want to make sure we have the right things here so we can win a championship. I'm all about change. If you're willing to change and you're willing to do what it takes to win then, you know, you got me."

The Magic will use the model employed by the Lakers when they dealt with Kobe Bryant's trade request in 2007.

One source says that Dirk Nowitzki's breakthrough to win a title for the Mavericks had an influence on Howard, who would like to do the same for Orlando.
