Bucks & Dwight Howard a Match This Summer?

Between their draft pick, which will likely be somewhere from No. 7 to 10, and free agency, the Bucks will have ample opportunity to address the two weaknesses extolled repeatedly throughout this piece: defense and shooting. Last summer showed Milwaukee won’t hesitate to try and attack the big names that are out there to try and improve. Here’s one to consider: Dwight Howard, who the Bucks thought about trading for at the trade deadline, and is the kind of defensive center that Greg Monroe isn’t. (Washington Post) 

All in all, that's a great column by Tim Bontemps, but the last paragraph left me in a pretzel. That's not really going to happen, right? Milwaukee Bucks aren't going to look at Dwight Howard and bring him into the mix. Howard isn't a good team and a ball-dominant player. My concern with Howard would be he stuns the growth of Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Additionally, let's retire this notion that Howard plays the same defense he did earlier on in his career. There are solid role players where Milwaukee can go versus making the sexy splash again next season. Perhaps this is merely an idea by Bontemps, but a part of me worries it might be true.
