Report: Rockets place Howard on trade block

The Rockets fell again to the Blazers Wednesday night, their sixth loss in the last eight games and third in a row. After the game, coach J.B. Bickerstaff described the Rockets as a "broken" team, and Jason Terry walked through the media room and said the team had "no chemistry."

Now Yahoo Sports reports that the Rockets have begun to shop former All-Star center Dwight Howard, officially.

The Houston Rockets have started contacting teams about trading eight-time All-Star Dwight Howard, league sources told The Vertical.Howard, 30, plans to exercise an opt-out in his contract this summer to become an unrestricted free agent, and uncertainty surrounding the commitment both sides are willing to make has pushed Houston general manager Daryl Morey toward seeking potential trades on the market, league sources said.
