Dwight is a great player with excellent stats and a career average. During his prime, he averaged around two blocks per game. Furthermore, he is a 3-time defensive player of the year.
The Warriors are considering to add to the roster, as he can add value and depth to their roster. He is a 5-time rebounding champion in the league.
The Warriors are one of the best teams in the league. They have won 4 titles in the league due to their solid offensive wing.
However, the Warriors are somewhere lacking in rebounding as they ranked #14 on the list of rebounding.
They could overcome this shortcoming by adding the former Magic player. Howard has averaged around 3 offensive rebounds in his career and more than 4 on the offensive board.

It is surprising that none of the NBA teams added him to their roster in the last season. But this season, he is likely to play with the Warriors and help them contend the season.
