It’s been reported that Dwight Howard might be open to being traded to the Chicago Bulls. The question I have to wonder is, why wouldn’t he want to become a member of the Bulls in the first place? The Bulls have a winning tradition.

Howard has been compared to the best centers to play the game: Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal and Wilt Chamberlin. All of those centers have one thing in common: a ring.

Howard, in my opinion, is the best center in the NBA, so why not put him along side the best point guard in Derrick Rose? Putting Howard along side Rose would be the new Shaq-Kobe Bryant threat. The Bulls haven’t had enough consistency inside with Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer.

The Bulls would have to give up one of those guys, if not both, along with a draft pick. The Bulls can afford to give up those two due to the fact Howard would have Omer Asik as his backup.

Adding Howard would put the Bulls as the favorite to win the NBA Championship this year and take some pressure off of Rose.
