Hearing Howard isn't thrilled by prospects of RR joining HR. Not that he's opposed but not crazy about it. Different attitudes & approaches - Peter Vecsey (Twitter)
I'm surprised that a Center doesnt like the idea of playing with a pass first point guard. But then again, Howard is behaving like a child, which is why he cant coexist with mature players like Kobe and Rondo. I used to like this guy a couple of years ago, but he will never win a championship with this kind of an attitude, what a clown.

That's some grade A [stuff] by Vecsey. No quote, super vague descriptions...

For that tweet gives us, maybe attitudes and approaches refers to the fact that Rondo's a strip-club fiend and Dwight is trying to focus on his family.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

he's stupid if he thinks that Rondo won't help him more than their crappy pg rotation. Who is going to set him up better? Beverly? Lin? HA, you funny Dwight.

Rondo, Harden, makes YOU into an instant favorite in the West if he joins.

Even better, we keep Rondo, build around him and I bet we reach the Finals quicker than he will with the Rox

Why would Howard feel that way? Rondo is cutthroat!  A Kobe Klone! Howard likes to play around
@PeterVecsey1

Doesn't seem very credible in my opinion.

Rondo has Kobe/KG like personality, doesn't surprise me that Howard may not be in love with playing with him. Howard is a goofy cornball - he prefers a fraternity like atmosphere where he can play class clown. Definitely don't think their personalities would be a perfect mesh.

I read this elsewhere as well. Howard doesn't want to play with players hellbent on winning. He shriveled for an entire season in Kobe's shadow. I would be shocked to see a team led by Howard (and harden) win the title.

For all their talent they dont have the obsessive fire to do everything it takes to win the whole thing.

Somehow I can imagine Big Baby filling Howard's ear with Rondo stories when they were playing together in Orlando.
