The Houston Rockets has never been removed from the rumor mill ever since the firing of their head coach Kevin McHale came to be. It cannot be helped to speculate some trade rumors about the Rockets for their performance haven't made any significant impact to their standing since the replacement of their head coach. It was well expected that their game would change when they replaced their coach, but in contrast their performance remained the same.
Most critics agreed that the axing of McHale was not necessary, for it is the player that lacks enthusiasm and considerably one of the problems is within the players themselves. Thus reports of a possible trade out would commence involving Dwight Howard. In report published by Yibada, it cited a social media post detailing that;
"If Houston doesn't turn it around soon, they may decide it's a 'him or me' situation with Dwight and Harden, which is reportedly part of the problem already. So, obviously Houston picks Harden over Howard - he's younger, healthier, better contract, better player."
And this possible trading of Howard to other team would include the Suns who is currently having trouble with their standing. Yibada reported that Howard could be traded to other teams in a three way deal which would include Boston Celtics and the Phoenix Suns. It was stipulated on the report that;
"Celtics get Dwight Howard and PJ Tucker: addressing their need for a franchise big man and a swingman." It was also reported that, "Houston Rockets get Eric Bledsoe, Tyson Chandler and Markieff Morris. They get their quality point guard, replaced their defensive." Furthermore, "Phoenix Suns get: David Lee, Ty Lawson, Jared Sullinger, James Young, 2016 first round picks of Dallas Mavericks (top 7 protected) and Boston Celtics own 2016 draft pick. Also, they get the Brooklyn Nets 2018 unprotected draft pick."
This whirlwind of trade scenario is indeed a rumor and a farfetched projection. Guess we would just have to wait for this rumor to be validated.
