Dwight Howard Bout To Get Paid

Look for the Magic to extend center Dwight Howard this summer for five years. The contract, beginning in 2008, likely will total about $87.5 million. It could start around $14.5 million and finish at $20.5 million. Also, don’t be surprised if the Magic and Milicic end up signing a short-term deal — say, $21 million over three years.
