Dwight Howard Has Added The Golden State Warriors To The List Of Teams He’s Considering
It’s that time of the year when everybody talks about where Dwight Howard will land in free agency, we did a great job of chronicling his waffling last summer with our handy, dandy Dwight Howard trade timeline. The speculation has already begun on what Dwight will do this summer; whether it be stay in Los Angeles, go to Houston (which is where I think he will wind up), possibly Dallas, or a return to his hometown of Atlanta. Well a new team has surfaced on his list, as well as what he will be looking for in a new team. Russ Bengtston suggested a revolutionary idea:

Other than Kobe, who many will say is the closest to MJ, and Lebron who most compare to Magic Johnson instead. Well these days it’s still about comparing Lebron and MJ, even though their games are nothing alike. Well at a charity event in Miami, former Heat player Alonzo Mourning might have thrown Scottie Pippen under the bus.
