Orlando brain trust divided on the future of Dwight Howard?

Reports are that the ownership of the Orlando Magic and its front office are at odds on how to handle the Dwight Howard situation.  Magic GM Otis Smith has seemed to have come to the conclusion that Howard will leave the organization no matter what and would like to trade him.  The Magic ownership group would like to try to convince Howard to remain with the organization for years to come.  Ownership tends to win such battles and there's a huge possibility that Howard will remain with the Magic after the March 15th trade deadline.
