Dwight Howard was asked about his future in Orlando on Monday.

"It is an interesting question," said Howard. "You know what? I'll be here as long as the fans want me to be here. They have a lot of do with it."

Howard said that the Magic fans' state of mind is an important part of his own thinking.

"I tell my friends this: I want to stay here. It will be based upon the city. We want the support of our fans. That's what carries us, that's what inspires us, that's what keeps us motivated. You want to feel loved. That's the biggest thing. I show my love to the community. I show my love to this city by stepping on the floor every night and playing as hard as I can. That's all we want back."

On the other hand, Howard understands LeBron James remaining uncommitted about his future in Cleveland.

"You just don't want to say something. You want to wait and weigh your options," Howard said. "Everybody can say that LeBron should stay in Cleveland. That's where he's from. But you have to think about what's best for you and your family. That's the way I look at it."
