Magic general manager Otis Smith reiterated this week that he has given Dwight Howard's representative free rein to discuss potential deals with the Mavericks, Nets, and Lakers.

Agent Dan Fegan made it clear to Sports Illustrated that Howard has no interest in playing for Golden State.

On his way out of Oracle Arena late Thursday night, Howard said "no thanks" to a return to the Bay Area. He said he appreciated the energy of the Oracle crowd, but he didn't see himself playing in a Warriors uniform in a week or even in five years.
