Bucks Trade rumors Roundup: Marc Gasol to Milwaukee, Bye Bye Tony Snell, and More

#3 Dwight Howard might just be the apt deadline steal

Dwight Howard underwent a lumbar microdiscectomy(back surgery) back on Nov. 30.

Costing just $5.6 million and still able to give you 12.8 points and 9.3 rebounds on an average(that is, after his return in February probably), Howard can be someone the Bucks can make a stretch for. He is doubtful to be back in action before February but looking at the way the Bucks are rolling, they seem to be in no hurry whatsoever.

For a man who averages a couple of blocks across his career, Dwight can be the defensive uplift for the surging Bucks side. The Wizards are without Wall for the rest of the season, and not many expect them to make a splash from this point on.

As free agency waits for Howard this offseason, it would benefit Washington in more ways than they can imagine to bag a player and a future pick until the status quo prevails.
