"As Dwight Howard continues his promotional tour across Europe, he's been very candid while answering questions from international reporters.

At an adidas event in Madrid, Spain, Howard criticized Stan Van Gundy's handling of Gilbert Arenas and said he should have a role in the team's personnel decisions. He also talked more about everyone in the organization getting on the same page.

Howard on Arenas, who struggled mightily with the Magic while primarily being used as Jameer Nelson's backup: "I don't think our coach used him the right way, but I think he can do a lot of great things for our team. He promised me this summer he was going to get himself better, physically and mentally, so he can come back and have an awesome year. … I just felt like he didn't get the opportunity to play his style but also play with me. I think he needed to. I think he got a couple of opportunities to do it in the playoffs, but it was kind of too late. So I think he will be great for us.""
