Dwight Howard can become a free agent yet AGAIN but there likely won’t be a “Dwightmare” this time around. With his nagging injuries and decline in production, teams aren’t banging down his door quite like they were before. Howard has also said he wants to remain with the Houston Rockets but the Boston Celtics have reportedly engaged in trade talks.
Meanwhile, the Celtics have engaged the Houston Rockets in talks about a possible deal for Dwight Howard, the Daily News has learned. Howard can opt out of his contract this summer, and considering his back and knee issues, it doesn’t make much sense for Boston GM Danny Ainge to use the assets on a player with declining skills and a battered body.
Boston, which either owns or controls the Brooklyn Nets’ next three first-round picks, are positioned to make a major move either before the trade deadline or this summer around the draft.
Seriously, did the author watch dwight in the playoffs recently? He was by far our best player in that Portland series and was scoring well in the post against Rolo, then last year he enforced his will on Dallas, his rebounding over DJ was crucial in the Clippers series and especially to our game 6 comeback which took us to the conference finals, then he was really effective in the conference finals averaging 14/14 against the Warriors. What is this guy smoking…
Jesus Christ, Celtics fans are so picky when they are in no position at all to be picky. Oooh no I don’t want DeMarcus Cousins he’s crazy, I don’t want Al Horford he shoots too many 3’s, I don’t want Dwight Howard he’s a cancer. Adding a single one of these guys shoots us up the conference standings.
Did people forget that Dwight made the West Finals last year and average 16-14 and 2.3 blocks? While playing injured?? You don’t even have to use Dwight that much in the regular season. Just do enough to stay competitive and unleash him in the playoffs.
Edit: Sorry got it wrong, he average 16 points-14 boards in the West Finals, not 16-10. But it doesn’t matter because he’s a cancer right guys?
