Sources: Dwight Howard to hire Shaq’s agent
After years of feuding, Houston Rockets star Dwight Howard and future Hall of
Fame center Shaquille O’Neal are partnering.
在經過了多年的不合後，火箭球星Dwight Howard將與Shaquille O’Neal成為夥伴關係
Howard plans to hire O’Neal’s agent, Perry Rogers, for his new
representation, multiple sources told The Vertical. Rogers could file
official paperwork with the National Basketball Players Association as soon
as Friday, sources said. Rogers doesn't have any other NBA clients and
established his reputation as tennis legend Andre Agassi's longtime agent.

並且將會盡快在周五繳交官方文件給NBA球員工會
Rogers目前沒有其他的NBA客戶，在擔任網壇傳奇Agassi的長期經紀人時，打響了名號
O’Neal, a longtime public nemesis of Howard’s, had extensive conversations
with the Houston center and sold him on the marketing of “Superman” and the
representation of Rogers, sources said. The potential of marketing Howard and
O’Neal in advertisements together played a role, too, sources said.

– for which Shaq has publicly mocked Howard – and they both left the
Orlando Magic for the Los Angeles Lakers in the middle of their careers.

In his 12th NBA season, Howard, 30, has averaged 14.7 points and 12 rebounds
in 57 games. The Rockets discussed trades involving Howard before the trade
deadline, but ultimately kept him. Howard has an opt-out clause in his
contract for next season.

After an illustrious 19-year NBA career that ended in 2011, O’Neal was
nominated to be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on Sept. 9.
