The Celtics are waiting very patiently for a star player to become available so we can use some of our stockpile of assets to acquire him. Things aren't going very swimmingly in Houston and ESPN's Kevin Pelton is wondering out loud if Boston could be a landing spot for Dwight Howard. (Note: this isn't a rumor, just one writer's idea)
David Lee, Tyler Zeller, future first-round pick...Lee wouldn't have much value to the Rockets, who might just buy him out. Besides offering some flexibility with the hard cap Houston is working under this year after using its non-taxpayer mid-level exception, this trade is all about getting one of Boston's huge stockpile of picks to flip in another trade.
