Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Thursday that the Celtics are sitting out of the Dwight Howard talks.

Howard has been radioactive on the trade market and as we’ve said all along the Rockets are going to need to take a haircut to get rid of him.  It’s not clear if they will do that, and if they don’t they will probably continue to have a toxic locker room.  As we’ve said in a number of places, we like stashing Clint Capela where possible.
