"Orlando Magic fans must feel like they're sitting on a roller coaster.

Space Mountain has fewer ups and downs than Dwight Howard's stay-or-go saga.

Just one day after he criticized team management for not acquiring the players he likes, Howard almost did a total abrupt about-face Monday. He indicated he could be persuaded to stay if team officials are "willing to change."

"There's no place I would rather be but here in Orlando," Howard said as he was surrounded by reporters and cameramen during the Magic's media day at Amway Center.

"And I just want to make sure that we have the right things here so we can win a championship. And I'm all about change. If you're willing to change and you're willing to do what it takes to win, then, you know, you've got me.""
