Pelinka said he’s hopeful that Dwight Howard will be with the Lakers in Orlando, that Howard has not opted out at this point, but acknowledged the difficult family circumstance Howard mentioned to reporters last month. They’ll continue to stay in close contact.

Like Stan said, Rob should have Boogie’s phone number on his automatic dial.
Hope Dwight decides to play but understand if he doesn’t for his daughter.
If Dwight can’t play, it would be great to have DeMarcus take his place.
