“DeMarcus Cousins Would Be Better”: Former NBA Champion Set to Leave LeBron James to Join Kevin Durant at the Nets Has NBA Fans in a Meltdown

It isn’t news anymore that Kevin Durant is looking for a way out. The Brooklyn Nets faced their biggest obstacle as soon as Durant sent in his trade request. The 12-time All-Star is the biggest force on their roster. However, the continuous failure in the postseason has made Durant lose patience. The road so far has been clear for Brooklyn as they are trying to find a fair trade. But they may be taking a reverse way, trying to give their best player a reason to stay. And their first move could be on the way as they look at a current teammate of LeBron James.

Dwight Howard is by far one of the best players in this era of basketball. His time with the Orlando Magic was legendary. The former three-time DPOY led the way for them. He became one of the best players in the NBA and made it to eight All-Star games. In 2009, he even led Orlando to an NBA Finals appearance against his current team, the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, now coming towards the end of a fantastic career, Howard has become a role player. Still capable of making a significant impact, he has shown interest in joining hands with the Easy Money Sniper.

Dwight Howard ready to leave LeBron James for Kevin Durant

There was a time when Dwight Howard was the arch-nemesis of Lakers fans. His lackluster run with Kobe Bryant made fans really angry. However, he made his way back for redemption in 2020. Now in a new role, the eight-time NBA All-Star has thrived. He helped LeBron James to lift the Larry O’Brien trophy in 2020. Now, it looks like he wants to help Kevin Durant win another chip.

According to recent reports, both the Brooklyn Nets and Dwight Howard have shown mutual interest in joining forces. This could prove to be a big move as the Nets are desperate to add firepower besides Kyrie Irving and KD. However, fans were left puzzled by the Nets’ potential next target.

At 36, Howard certainly has a much more reduced role than in his prime. However, that doesn’t mean the former 3-time DPOY can’t assert himself in the mix. Howard has the ability to add quick points coming off the bench. As a man dominant inside the paint, having an elite playmaker like LeBron James helped him immensely. Moreover, Howard knows how to pull valuable boards. In the previous season, Howard averaged 6.2 points and 6 rebounds in just 16 minutes of action per game.
