    Dwight Howard ‘intrigued’ by Rockets, Mavericks, according to report

    Soon-to-be free-agent center Dwight Howard will give “strong consideration” to signing with the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks, CBS Sports’ Ken Berger reported on Sunday.


    The Los Angeles Lakers are hoping for a quick decision from Howard on whether he will re-sign with the team, but it appears likely that the process will be drawn out.


    According to Berger, Howard is most intrigued by the Rockets, who would need to make a few moves to be able to sign Howard. Berger reported that Howard likes the Rockets’ roster, which includes a young star in James Harden and a complementary, 26-year-old 7-footer in Omer Asik.


    Before he was traded to the Lakers last offseason, the Rockets were involved in discussions to acquire Howard from the Orlando Magic.


    The Mavericks would also have to make a few minor moves to be able to get under the salary cap and sign Howard.

        I doubt the Lakers bringing back D'Antoni helped their chances

          If he's strictly picking for a future champ, he's better off going to Houston than staying in L.A. ... and, quite frankly, he seems way too sensitive to survive in a media market like L.A.

            According to sources with knowledge of the situation, part of the discussion between Howard and Kupchak centered around Howard's frustration with D'Antoni -- particularly how the center felt marginalized as the coach looked to Bryant and Steve Nash for leadership and suggestions and discounted Howard's voice.
