Dwight Howard asked Morey "Why am I here?"

Dwight Howard was asked to elaborate on why he felt "disinterested" during parts of his season with the Houston Rockets.

"There were times I was disinterested because of situations that happened behind the scenes that really hurt me," said Howard. "It left me thinking, 'This is not what I signed up for.'''

Howard was asked to specify what he was referring to.

"I felt like my role was being reduced. I went to [Rockets general manager] Daryl [Morey] and said, 'I want to be more involved.' Daryl said, 'No, we don't want you to be.' My response was, 'Why not? Why am I here?' It was shocking to me that it came from him instead of our coach. So I said to him, 'No disrespect to what you do, but you've never played the game. I've been in this game a long time. I know what it takes to be effective.'''

Howard is a soft player.  He has every tool to be dominate, but is too worried about what people think or saying about him

Hes there cuz he was scared of LA lights, and wanted to team up with another superstar in a smaller market... looks like he cant handle houstons lights either... so can we settle that howards the problem since now he couldnt get along not only with kobe, but harden too.
