One of the most likely destinations turning out for free agent Dwight Howard is between the Atlanta Hawks, and the Boston Celtics.
Currently, the odds seem to be leaning towards Howard signing this summer where Vegas is favoring Bean Town to acquire Howard at 10-11 odds.
Howard has rubbed people the wrong way since the time Stan Van Gundy openly mentioned to the media that Howard told management he wanted him fired. He has gained a reputation as a coach killer, and one who can’t see his own flaws enough to know he’s not as good as he used to be. Howard opting out of his $25 million contract and looking to move on in free agency has fans scoffing at the possibility of him signing within a mile of their favorite team.
While some feel Howard to the Celtics makes sense because his skill set is perfect for what the Celtics are lacking, not everyone wants his personality around the young hard working team that has bought into Brad Steven's system.
The Celtics secured a meeting with Howard on the first day of free agency, and everyone on twitter has gone mad. He's the one free agent with the potential to get booed by his home team. There has to be some Howard fans out there somewhere, they are just hard to find.
Take a look below at some of the tweets posted
Securing a face-to-face meeting with Durant was a nice sign of progress. A meeting with Dwight Howard is the polar opposite of that…

Dwight Howard has a meeting w/ Celtics? Is that so he can come to Boston, get overpaid, underwhelm fans and opt out after 2 years?

Here is why people don't want Dwight Howard. This #Celtics team is insanely likable. Dwight Howard has the potential to ruin that.

If there is a God and that divine being has any sense of love and compassion Dwight Howard will never wear a Celtics jersey
