The New York Knicks need another capable center on their team, and one writer has floated a former superstar as an option the franchise would do well to look to for backup.
SI’s Fastbreak’s Ben Stinar named Dwight Howard as one of five men the Knicks could greatly benefit from signing before the start of the 2024-25 NBA season. Stinar backed up his claim with this in part:
“Howard has done a great job of transforming himself into a role player in his final seasons in the NBA.
At 38, Howard still looks to be in great shape and could excel in a role where he averages less than 10 minutes per game,” Stinar wrote.
“Plus, the eight-time All-Star could be used for several playoff matchups.”
Howard would bring a lot of tangible and intangible qualities and skills to the Knicks frontcourt in a potential pairing. The former Orlando Magic superstar knows what it takes to win an NBA championship, having been one of the most integral pieces of the 2020 title-winning Los Angeles Lakers team.
