It’s only May and the floodgates are slowly but surely giving way to yet another Dwight Howard fiasco.
Ken Burger of CBS Sports has reported that Howard is reportedly considering Houston:
"“With six weeks to go before Howard becomes an unrestricted free agent, the team that is said to intrigue him the most is the Houston Rockets, according to multiple people briefed on internal conversations surrounding Howard’s free-agent decision.”"
Other potential destinations include Atlanta and Dallas.
The Hawks, who will only have three players on the books entering the offseason, are perennial favorites to land the big man.
Not only is the city of Atlanta Howard’s hometown, but he played his AAU career alongside free agent and Hawks’ veteran Josh Smith.
