With the start of the 2023-24 NBA season still a month away from us, things are still slow around the league. The Golden State Warriors, however, almost pulled off a shock.

The Dubs were linked with a possible move for Dwight Howard, who is still a free agent. This rumor made noise because of his past, as the big man won the ring next to LeBron James at the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020.

The Warriors still have empty roster spots, and are expected to cover them in the next few weeks. However, it looks like Howard will not be playing next to Stephen Curry after all.

It’s been a while since Howard played in the NBA, as his last team in the league were the Lakers in the 2021-22 season. At 37, he’s still waiting to see if another opportunity comes his way.
