-He's not particularly interested in playing for the Houston Rockets, who are likely out of running until late August after finally signing their draft picks.
-The Brooklyn Nets are likely on Dwight's wish list, despite the fact that they can't realistically rejoin the trade chase until January, when Brook Lopez becomes a tradeable commodity again.
