Rockets’ Howard Won’t Recruit Players

(Dwight) Howard doesn’t plan on recruiting (LeBron) James, (Carmelo) Anthony, or any other soon-to-be free agent personally, instead choosing to respect their personal process while they decide their respective next steps.

“A great man once told me that this is my plane, I fly it where I want to fly it, I’ll land it where I want to land it,” Howard said. “I built it, and it doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks. If I want people on that plane, I’ll put them on there. If not, this is my plane. For ‘Melo and all of these other free agents, this is their plane. This is their time to fly wherever they want to fly. They can’t let anybody or anything get in the way of doing what’s best for them.”
