<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Sources also say that the field for Howard's free agency has widened considerably... Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, San Antonio, LA and Brooklyn</p>— Steve Kyler (@stevekylerNBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/stevekylerNBA/status/345149851446693888">June 13, 2013</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Huge mound of salt needs to be taken of course but....it's a very real possibility in my opinion. They would have to renounce the rights to Manu and Splitter but I'd imagine RC Buford and Pop would do it for Howard. The possibility of bringing him in as the heir apparent to Duncan would be a pretty good transition if/when Duncan retires. Howard, Parker, Leonard, and a bunch of 3 point shooters. The caveat is the location of course but the organization is top notch and Pop can corral Howard.
Yea that threw me for a loop as well but San Antonio and that potential caproom could make them players this summer. Of course, they coud end up overpaying for Josh Smith, Al Jefferson, or Paul Millsap.
You have to give up either Lopez or DWill for Howard and I don't even think Kupchak would agree on either one at this point. It's not to their advantage to take on either players' salaries when they could have massive cap room in next summer.
If teaming up with CP3 is the key... Hawks have cap room for both CP3 and Howard. Clips can offer something like Bledsoe and Griffin for Howard S&T if Lakers amnesty Pau. Again, this is getting too dicey. The Rockets need to salary dump Lin ASAP. Various media outlets have now reported Howard wants to play alongside Harden, Asik, and now Parsons. Without moving Lin the Rockets bench could possibly be this year's except less both Garcia and Delfino. As Feigen has written that even Delfino could get more than what the Rockets have to offer. They've only 2.6 million to find a lesser substitute for those players. This year's bench as a second unit altogether was the first time in many years where they've been a liability. One of the criticisms by Dan Fegan who's against sending Dwight to Houston is he doesn't believe Morey can put a winning team wround Howard. The above bench would help his argument.
San Antonio is pure b.s. Brooklyn is probably b.s. as well, unless the Lakers want to overpay Lopez and whomever rather than save their caproom for free agents they want and just have one awful season. I think Howard's agent is just using Kyler to get info out there so Howard's real wanna-be destination(s) get hidden in the mix. And Kyler's more than happy to be used by an agent so he can get web hits and keep his job.
dwight howard would love to play with duncan, but duncan is done in another 1-2 years. Do you really think dwight wants to be in san antonio in 2 years without duncan and ginobili? Tony parker will be well over 30 then and.... He'd be on the orlando magic again, a small market team with no help
