After Dwight Howard’s successful meeting with the Houston Rockets, he managed to meet with the Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors, now that Tuesday has come, the most highly sought after free agent will be looking to continue his tour. On Tuesday, Howard is set to meet with the Dallas Mavericks, who many believe to be the favorite to land his services, and the Los Angeles Lakers.

From Marc Stein of ESPN.com:

Mavs up first TUES. Then it's Lakers. And then Dwight, wooed by five teams face-to-face, will deliberate for ... we'll just have to wait/see
— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) July 2, 2013

We have known for awhile that Howard is set to select his team on July 10, so the fact that all of the meetings have been completed early in the process seems to go hand in hand with the belief that everything is going according to plan.

Howard likely entered free agency knowing what team he would choose, so this is all just smoke and mirrors as we wait for him to decide.

Free agency kicked off just after midnight on Monday, so be sure to stay tuned to FanSided.com throughout the free agency period as we keep you up to date with the latest news and rumors from around the league.
