aukee Bucks to join the team. Boozer would be a welcome addition and instantly provide veteran leadership to a young and promising squad. Milwaukee has taken a step back so far in 2015, however adding a 13-year veteran who has averaged 16.2pts and 9.5reb would provide stability to the front-court.

Surprise, surprise. Dwight Howard is supposedly an unhappy camper in Houston. Why? Because James Harden is the unquestioned leader for the Rockets and Howard still considers himself a superstar.

The rumor is Dwight Howard along with PG Ty Lawson would head to Brooklyn for Center Brook Lopez and SF Joe Johnson. The question is what team does it benefit more. Houston is in win now mode, while Brooklyn should be in rebuilding mode. Adding Howard and Lawson would still have Brooklyn with an enormous payroll with a still lousy team. Perhaps pairing Lopez and Johnson with Harden would be a better fit.
If this trade happens, I would say Houston gets the better end of the deal. Why? The 2 Nets are true professionals while Howard is a malcontent with Lawson not far behind.

On the season he has appeared in just 9 games, while totaling 14 points and 15 rebounds in 48 total minutes.
