Magic Ceo Alex Martins sent out an email yesterday to Orlando Magic season ticket holders explaining that the franchise did all they could to keep Dwight Howard, below is a segment of the email that was sent.

"We had extensive conversations in regard to his future in Orlando, exhausting all possible options.....At the end of the day, we were not able to receive a commitment from him beyond this season."

 "We certainly wish Dwight well and congratulate him on all his achievements in Orlando.....The Magic posted the fourth best record in the NBA over the last five years, trailing just the L.A. Lakers, Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs. Dwight was a six-time All-Star and named All-NBA First Team each of the last five years, while also finishing as the Most Valuable Player runner-up in 2011. His popularity in Orlando was certainly unprecedented and we thank him for being a part of Magic history."
"A primary goal for our basketball team is to achieve long-term sustainability while maintaining a long-term vision.....We feel this deal puts us in a position to begin building in that direction. In addition to the six players joining our team, we will be in a position to maximize our salary cap flexibility in the near future, as well as utilize the multiple draft picks we have acquired going forward."
"We feel we have everything we need in Orlando to be successful, from financially committed ownership to first-class facilities to outstanding basketball leadership to fans with great passion who truly care.....We look forward to this next chapter of Magic basketball and remain committed to our mission: To be world champions on and off the court, delivering legendary moments every step of the way."
