The Golden State Warriors have reportedly lost interest in signing big man Dwight Howard. The former Laker and Magic star was rumored to join the team after working out with Draymond Green and other Warriors. However, according to Golden State general manager Mike Dunleavy, the team has too much depth at the center position to sign Howard.
Dunleavy made these comments while appearing on “The Athletic NBA Show,” hosted by Anthony Slater and Sam Amick. It comes as a surprise since the Warriors are known for their lineups that often lack a true center. Dunleavy stated, “We have five guys that can give us minutes at the five position.”
Although the Warriors might not have a spot for Howard, his experience and talent could make him a valuable addition to another team. The big man has had an impressive career, playing for several NBA franchises, including the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, and Houston Rockets. It remains to be seen where he will land for the upcoming season.
As for the Golden State Warriors, they currently have a strong roster with plenty of depth in the center position. Their decision not to pursue Dwight Howard shows their confidence in their current lineup. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how the team performs in the upcoming season and if their decision to pass on Howard was the right one.
In the meantime, Dwight Howard will continue to explore other options for his basketball career. With his talent, drive, and experience, it is likely that another NBA team will take interest in signing him and adding his skill set to their lineup. Until then, both the Warriors and Howard will move forward, focusing on their respective goals for the new season.
