After there seemed to be a lot of momentum behind Dwight Howard joining the Golden State Warriors, the situation was put on pause when the team decided not to sign the veteran center before training camp. While the door has not been entirely shut on Howard joining the Warriors, there will not be any deal before camp, which is something Warriors president Mike Dunleavy recently addressed.

"I’d just say in general, we brought maybe 40 or 50 guys in this summer to get a further look at, knowing agents and people around the league knowing we’ve got two roster spots open, so there is a desire to come in, meet with us and play with our guys," Dunleavy said. "And we’ve looked at a lot of different players. Some of them we’re bring into camp. But the [Howard] is just one of many that we brought in and evaluated, and you know, I think right now you’ll know more about who we’re inviting to camp in a couple of days. But overall, we feel good about what we’ve done this summer and we’ll keep our options open in terms of who we need to add."

Keeping their options open, the Warriors will use training camp to make their final decision on who makes their roster and who heads back out into free agency.
