It’s no news that one of the biggest goals for the
Houston Rockets this summer was to sign Dwight Howard. As sports bet Australia has
pointed out several times, the rockets are doing everything possible to lure in
the all-star center from LA into the Texas state. Being a player that has the
ability to positively impact any franchise he’s playing for, countless online sportsbetting sites have
been keeping track of Howard’s offseason options.
LA’s money
If there’s one big factor that might persuade Howard to
stay in LA, it’s the money. The Lakers can offer him one more year of contract
and the opportunity to earn millions from product endorsements. However, if
Howard’s inclination is towards winning while still making a comparable amount
of money, there’s really only one team that can offer that to him right now.
Houston’s promise
The Rockets has a core of talented young players with
lots of potential and offers a longer window for winning. The team certainly
has what it takes to compete and having Howard on board is likely to make them contenders
for the next season. Thus, they are making all the moves to
give them a better chance of signing Howard.
The great thing about playing for the Rockets is that
Howard isn’t really going to miss out much when it comes to earning dollars.
The taxation system in Texas will help him recuperate some of the money he will
miss out on not signing with LA. Another thing is that even though Houston
doesn’t have the marketing prospects that LA has to offer, it has a nifty
connection to China and some other parts of Asia which presents a whole new
world of opportunities.
