Sources: Rockets contacting teams about trading Dwight Howard
The Houston Rockets have started contacting teams about trading eight-time All-Star Dwight Howard, league sources told The Vertical.
Howard, 30, plans to exercise an opt-out in his contract this summer to become an unrestricted free agent, and uncertainty surrounding the commitment both sides are willing to make has pushed Houston general manager Daryl Morey toward seeking potential trades on the market, league sources said.
For what it's worth, Howard hasn't demand a trade. If he's looking for a max extension in the offseason though, it's not surprising that they're quietly shopping him, especially given their disappointing season.
