Brooklyn Nets: 3 red flags surrounding the Dwight Howard deal

3 time Defensive Player of the Year, eight-time NBA All-Star, Slam Dunk Champion in 2008, and five times now the league’s leader in rebounds.

Yet something about Dwight Howard has proved detrimental in recent years. In three seasons, he’s been traded three times.

From Houston to Atlanta, Atlanta to Charlotte, and now from Charlotte to Brooklyn.

While he proved last season that he can return to the prime center we saw lead the Orlando Magic to the NBA Finals, or at least some version close to it; Dwight Howard has more baggage than the average NBA journeyman.
