Probably not. But I think there was a verbal agreement that he would be working with Dwight a lot more to expand his offensive game.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Y! Sources: Dwight Howard's four-year, $88 million deal with Houston includes opt-out and substantial trade kicker. <a href="http://t.co/THENXuRBTy">http://t.co/THENXuRBTy</a></p>— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/statuses/353566579629371392">July 6, 2013</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Dwight Howard's four-year, $88 million maximum contract agreement with the Houston Rockets will include an early termination option after the 2015-16 season and a 15 percent trade kicker, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The early termination clause – or opt-out – could make Howard a free agent again in '16, allowing him to re-sign a five-year, maximum contract deal with the Rockets or change teams again. In the event Howard is traded during the duration of this contract, he will be paid 15 percent of the remaining money left on his deal through the kicker.
A little late to the action, but obviously I am overjoyed. This is most certainly a defining moment for the franchise and the ultimate validation for DM - a guy that at this point has to be considered one of the best GM's in basketball. Excited for the future and to see how we fill out the roster. LOOK OUT! :grin::grin::grin:
What a glorious day to be a Houston Rockets fan!! Huge props to Daryl Morey for pulling this off with the acquisition of Dwight Howard. Just amazing. Huge props to Doc Rocket for never wavering. Legend! And huge props to J.R. for an incredible job of news gathering. What an AMAZING resource for the ClutchFans community. Thank you sir!
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--dwight-howard-can-become-free-agent-in-2016-172222531.html Dwight Howard has an opt-out clause after the 2015-2016 season. Hopefully it is there so he can extend his contract.
So wonderful to watch this again now. Dwight's respect for Hakeem seems very genuine, as does his being a complete goofball.

Seriously. Everyone has been fantastic, from Morey to even Parsons (no one can say no to him ) to Yao and Lin's Asian market appeal to obviously Harden's straight up appeal to so much coming together Ridiculously excited. ps - I think JR is a machine. No one else can gather so much useful information in such short periods of time.
Last season the Rockets were a bunch of rejects from other teams, and now they're the most interesting group in the league.
Nice work now you just have to edit it to get J. Smith in the pic (or the next pc we pick up to finish off the big 3)

Demn it , no twitter response from Jlin about Dwight to Houston, that mean he is going to be trade soon?? sucks if that is the case, we better can a better point guard in return hopefully...
