Dwight Howard can push the Wizards to the next level, or right into a rebuild

NBA vagabond Dwight Howard is coming to DC next season, and while signing him is risky for the Wizards, it’s the kind of move they needed to make because Howard is a wild card. If things go right, he could be a dominant figure on defense and the boards, and an athletic finisher around the basket.

But, there are an array of ways things could wrong, and he could be just the wrong personality for an already fragile locker room, and end up pushing the team into a season-long cold war of passive-aggressive dysfunction.
