With the Houston Rockets struggling to get over .500, questions have begun to surface about the happiness of star center Dwight Howard.
While acknowledging Howard is unhappy with losing, sources said Howard has not expressed a desire to get traded.
Howard has a player option for next season at $23.2 million. The team expects him to become a free agent, taking advantage of a salary cap that is projected to expand from $67 million to nearly $90 million.
Becoming a free agent would give the 30-year-old Howard one last chance to lock up a lucrative deal.
