According to Frank Isola of The New York Daily News, the Boston Celtics are talking to the Houston Rockets about center Dwight Howard.
Meanwhile, the Celtics have engaged the Houston Rockets in talks about a possible deal for Dwight Howard, the Daily News has learned. Howard can opt out of his contract this summer, and considering his back and knee issues, it doesn’t make much sense for Boston GM Danny Ainge to use the assets on a player with declining skills and a battered body.
This piece of information was included in an article Isola wrote about the Knicks' need to do something by the deadline, so in the sense this isn't anything new for Celtics fans.
