Dwight Howard Rumors

This year, the brakes are off. No more trial run. Zormelo wants Howard to raise his IQ on every possession — be the rebounder and screener while also looking for opportunities to dominate. “He wants to evolve into Anthony Davis, into Kevin Durant,” Zormelo says, “but his own version of that.”

Morris is thrilled to have Howard on board. “I think it’s a great pickup. Dwight has been a great player his entire career. He averaged [16.6] and [12.5] last year,” Morris said. “Every time we played against him he has been a matchup problem for us. I’m excited to have him and welcome him to D.C.”

Is Howard, a player not known for his popularity among his peers, a good fit for the Wizards? “You know, he’s played on a lot of teams. [His former teammates] have certain things they say, some good, some bad,” Wall said. “Everybody [has] got something they have to improve on, but it’s my job as the point guard now, with him being on my team and [me] being the leader, to get him settled in with our team and be comfortable and getting him to play the way we want him to play, and if he does that, we’ll be fine with it.”

Howard, in fact, hadn’t really thought about the Wizards much at all when he began contemplating his next step as he proccessed a trade by the Hornets and a looming buyout by the Nets. It was while he was considering his options that he received a message on Instagram from Wall. “No lie, when I saw the message on Instagram, I really got so happy. I was like ‘John just DM’d me, oh man this is crazy!’ After that, I really just started to put on my thinking cap,” Howard said. “I just thought about all the possibilities. I was like ‘man, this could be the best spot for me.'”
