The relationship between Dwight Howard and his current employer, the Houston Rockets, appears to be irreparably damaged. But both sides continue to make diplomatic public statements.
Rockets GM Daryl Morey says that the organization would “welcome” back the disgruntled center, though new head coach Mike D’Antoni hinted that the big fella may not love Houston’s offensive schemes next season.
Howard, 30, is expected to opt-out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
"He (D'Antoni) would welcome him (Dwight) back. We would welcome him back." — @dmorey tells me and @NoahCoslov on @br_radio.

The Rockets will be "medium to aggressive" in their offseason moves, @dmorey tells us on @br_radio.

D'Antoni called Dwight Howard "One of the best players in the league. We're going to play a certain way. I hope he wants to play that way."
