NBA Trade Rumors: Five Teams That Should Trade For Dwight Howard
Blazers Get: Dwight Howard
Rockets Get: Mason Plumlee, Noah Vonleh, Picks
The Portland Trail Blazers are one of the best watches in the NBA right now. What they’ve been able to do after losing four starters has been impressive. Though, adding a 6-foot-11 elite rebounder could take this team to the second tier of the Western Conference.
Plus, a trio of Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum and Dwight Howard could be fun to watch.
With all that said, I wouldn’t bet on this deal happening. Blazers GM Neil Olshey likely isn’t going to mess with the team’s chemistry right now. This is a team that has won 12 of its last 15 games and appears to be on a tear.
