NBA Free Agency 2020: 5 best destinations for Dwight Howard going into the off-season ahead of the 2020-21 campaign

#3 Boston Celtics

Despite being one of the 'younger' teams in the NBA, the Boston Celtics made it all the way to the Eastern Conference finals and were very impressive during the post-season.

The biggest hole in the team's roster, however, is the lack of a true big man who can protect the rim at the defensive end while being an excellent scorer from the inside as well.

If the Boston Celtics do acquire Dwight Howard this off-season, the team could take a giant leap forward and may even win an NBA Championship as early as next year.

#4 LA Clippers

Despite being touted as the favorites to win it all last year, the LA Clippers flamed out in the second round of the 2020 NBA Playoffs. And with rumors of Montrezl Harrell deciding to leave, the team could sorely need a big man.

With the LA Clippers, Dwight Howard could have a much bigger role and may even be a starter for the franchise. Moreover, with the LA Clippers being the subject of much criticism, the players could come back hungrier than ever next season.

With the added motivation to prove their naysayers wrong and with Dwight Howard in their ranks, the LA Clippers could be a rejuvenated unit next season and win their first-ever NBA Championship.

#5 Houston Rockets

Houston Rockets

Despite acquiring superstar Russell Westbrook last off-season, the Houston Rockets were another team that were bounced out in the second round in the 2020 NBA playoffs.

With their small-ball experiment coming to an end, the franchise could look for a natural big man who could add height to the franchise. Among all teams in the fray for his signature, the Houston Rockets could be the best of them all.

The Houston Rockets have all the pieces to contend. If Dwight Howard chooses to take a risk with the Houston Rockets, the franchise could take a significant leap next season.
