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.

Yeah.

I thought this to myself after reading the rumors. Rondo's personality is much more "like" Kobe than he is "like" Howard.

Rondo is a prickly, overly competitive **** while Howard is a big fun-loving clown. Albeit a very very talented clown.

This is silly.

Vescey appears to be making this up out of thin air.  Speculation at it's worst.

What an interesting way to try and lower a players trade value.


Star really doesn't want to play with you, but here is a trade offer anyways.

Yet considering how badly things went with Kobe Bryant last year, i really dont find it to be a complete stretch that Howard would be so-so on the idea of playing with rondo.

For the record i am 50-50 on vescey. He is a drama stirrer. But guys like Broussard make vescey look like wojnarowski.

Dwight Howard's an idiot.
This sums it up.

Howard would rather have complete freedom to be an idiot than to win games.

  All he needs is teammates that get impressed when he puts on a cape and a tee shirt with a big "S" in the middle. Everything else is gravy.

It's also a plus if the teammates share in his love of his own flatulence. (He really loves farts.  True story).

  At least Rondo didn't make him cry like KG did. I'm sure Houston to NY is as close as DH would want to get to playing on a team with KG.

I spent some time on the Rockets blog and they share Dwight's sentiment.  They mostly view Rondo as a marginal upgrade from Lin/Beverly.  Under no circumstance would they even consider trading Parsons for Rondo.  Astounding, really.

Ah, Peter Vecsey, an old man with a bottle of gin and a laptop who used to be a sports reporter.

Reads as awfully speculatory to me.
Honestly given what we know about Howard do you think he'd enjoy playing with Rondo? I don't, he doesn't want to be held accountable by a teammate.

Remember he's the one who wanted BBD down in Orlando.

Aren't the best types of rumors to make up ... the ones that are at least 'plausible'?

It sounds plausible that Howard may not like the idea of playing with an uber-competitive floor general, because he didn't seem to get along with Kobe (for whatever reason) and so he may not like the idea of playing with Rondo.

But that doesn't make any of it true.
