April 2, 2011 - 10:05 AM ET

Magic GM Otis Smith has no intention of trading Dwight Howard next season, even though Howard could walk away as a free agent the following summer.

Smith said that already received offers for Howard this season, but "the answer will be the same as it always is: No." For the moment Orlando is focused on the playoffs, in which Dwight will have to log heavy minutes since there is no legitimate backup center on the roster. He's averaging 41 minutes per game since the All-Star break.
