Dwight Howard
Dwight Howard has really been on a journey since he was drafted 1st overall in the 2004 National Basketball Association’s Draft by Orlando Magic. Sticking with Orlando Magic for 8 years Dwight Howard decided to part ways and left the squad as he was pretty successful in finding life and even winning a NBA championship with Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. In 14 years in the league Howard has been on board of 7 different teams and the count is on again.
Dwight currently plays for Los Angeles Lakers as he joined them back for the third time but as the team is struggling with their record and veteran squad they are looking forward to find a new home for Dwight to space out the roaster. One of the main reason to trade “Superman” away is LeBron James starting at the center position and winning it all most of the times and the sudden urge of getting some young guns in the roaster for court mobility.
The Three most ideal place where Howard can find himself a new home and get a new start with a new role are listed below as the Los Angeles Lakers look forward to part ways with the 6 ft. 10 inches beast who really has one of the best defensive resumes in the league.

3. Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks can be a front runner in acquiring Dwight Howard as they require a veteran center who can run it all and play with Giannis Antetokounmpo since they waived off DeMarcus Cousins some weeks prior. The search for a center who the team can rely on by the Milwaukee Bucks may come to an end since Dwight Howard fits the best for their needs since there primary center Brook Lopez is out for some more months.
Dwight Howard comes with some great under the rim plays, vision and great defense as a player which is literal need of Milwaukee Bucks as Giannis Antetokounmpo doing it all on both the ends isn’t just fair for the “Greek Freak”. Howard can really jump in from the bench and play a good 24 minutes if the team needs him and shows the correct trust on him as everyone around the league is aware of his highlight worthy plays which are loud enough to tell that he still has it.
2. Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks open up the most minutes for Dwight Howard as their primary center Kristaps Porzingis is currently listed out and is also injury prone. The other option the team has is Boban Marjonavic who isn’t someone that is aggressive enough to fetch buckets but a very good and humble person. Even if Kristaps Porzingis returns and plays like he did during his time with the New York Knicks where he was nicked “Unicorn” by fans, Dwight Howard will still have enough space to jump in on the board as the team still requires a reliable center as a secondary fit.
All this factors make enough space for Dwight Howard to fit in and help Luka Doncic led Dallas Mavericks win it all especially in the post, under the rim where team struggles when Kristaps Porzingis is on a breather or break.
1. Houston Rockets
The Houston Rockets come up as the top spot for Dwight Howard to go all in as the team is struggling in bottom of the ranking table and really need a veteran to carry them around. Dwight Howard also has some history with the team as he spent quality time earlier with the Rockets. Alperen Sengun currently runs the center position for Houston Rockets but is often times caught in poor decision making when it comes to on court decisions of letting the ball move or moving with the ball. That’s exactly where the role of Dwight Howard comes in as he is experienced enough to handle such situations with ease.
Dwight Howard even though being 36 years old is still good enough a asset who can go up and down while playing some awesome defense on both the ends as he is a three time Defensive Player of the Year award holder and one of the best shot blocker in the league while also being a rebound machine. The Houston Rockets can really rebirth his late career as both the parties need each other as of now and also fit good enough to run a short term deal at-least.
