Sure looks like it from Howard's POV. He knows he's done with this team as well. Him and Harden just don't gel that well. We're going to see some major shakedown in the following days.
If things don't get shaken up soon then yes we are not getting Howard to resign or any free agent. I have a bad feeling Harden is going to want out . A new coach would help too.
Towel was thrown in when they made the panic move 11 games in. I don't believe they'll trade him. Now him leaving in FA...
Although Dwight Howard might of had a great game, I think it might be a blessing in disguise, now the trade value is up, and now the organization can possibly get added value for Dwight Howard. This might be time to trade him, possibly no need to try and force the experiment and maybe no need to force the situation.
Morey's one high from these past couple games is that Dwight is playing well. He should take this chance to trade him to a team in the east who is looking to contend. Toronto, Boston, Atlanta, Miami would all love to have Dwight.
We need to throw in the towel. We are more than halfway through the season and have lost more than we have won.
In one interview Dwight said "We need to discuss and talk about our issues" while in another interview Harden said "Were 55 games into the season.. I don't think talking is going to get it done." <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Dwight Howard said "All we do is talk about the issues we have.

No, but I'd be shocked if there isn't a trade or two. Imagine being traded to this team mid season, what's nightmare that would be!
How can some of you not notice this! Howard can still play but he doesn't fit in well with this team! He had 28p 13r and was still a -24. Harden had 34 and TONS of turnovers and was a -9. Even going back to last season, 13 of the Rockets 26 losses were when Howard was playing. He only played half the season! Howard can still play but him and Harden are not the match made in heaven we all expected or were hoping to get. Cut ties with Howard now before you waste another 3-5 years of Hardens prime trying to stick a square peg in a round hole.
Hope he doesn't end up like Andre Johnson... go to another team hoping to shine or win something big but then your star player team mate (ala Andrew Luck in this case) gets injured for the rest of the season so you're actually left with a useless season... I do with the best for Dwight, whether he stays a Rocket or not. But I do know one thing, we will be useless in the playoffs without a healthy Dwight. Who else in the league can we trade for that can give us even half the rim protection we need that Dwight has provided us in the playoffs? It's going to be bittersweet if we do trade Dwight, but I just feel like it's not going to happen. I honestly don't think anybody wants him.
According to Doc Rocket...they already know season is over..open to trading DH...will use coaching vacancy as leverage to get star (Durant im guessing)
