According to NBA insider Ken Berger, Dwight Howard will waive his current contract’s early-termination option if the team stops trying to trade him away. This seems really hard to believe, especially when Howard has publicly expressed his desire to play anywhere but Orlando.

If the team convinces him to waive the option, it’s only because they couldn’t find a fair trade partner and D12 doesn’t want his teammates to see him as a bad guy.
