ATLANTA -- The Hawks Dwight Howard said Saturday he doesnt have any problems with former teammate James Harden, who said the day before that he, too, has no beef with the 6-foot-11 center.The two were teammates for three seasons with the Rockets, and the relationship ended when Howard declined his player option. Howard signed a three-year, $70.5 million deal in July with the Hawks, whom the Rockets played on Saturday night.Everybody is always looking for a beef between a player when they leave a team, Howard said. Theres no beef. Both of us came from nothing and we made it. Ill never be mad or hate on another player because he made it. His dream came true. Im happy for him, and hopefully hell continue to play great.Howard did admit his three seasons with the Rockets had some inconsistencies. The team reached the postseason in all three seasons but had two first-round exits and a trip to the 2015 Western Conference finals, losing 4-1 to Golden State.Lots of ups and downs, Howard said when asked about the three seasons in Houston. We had a really good playoff run one year; other than that, just try to do what I can in the community, make Houston a better place and win.Last season the Rockets had a drama-filled season that ended with a 41-41 finish and them just sneaking into the postseason as the No. 8 seed. Harden said it was draining emotionally. The personalities of Harden and Howard seemed to mix well in the first two seasons. But last year, with Howard seeking the ball more and Harden becoming more of a leader, there seemed to be some friction. A source told ESPN toward the end of the season the relationship between the two was cordially bad.Theres always going to be stories, thats the nature of this business, people are going to make stories up, Howard said. I have no ill will toward any player in this league -- all of us have had to come from nothing to make it. I always wish him nothing but the best. I think hes a very talented player and has a great opportunity in front of him to lead a very young team, and hes doing a good job as an individual making plays, passing the ball great and hopefully hell keep it up.The Hawks beat the Rockets on Saturday night, 112-97, with Howard collecting 20points and 14 rebounds.

Kenny Lowe believes he has the squad to take Perth to their maiden A-League title, in this, the leagues 12th season.Glory coach Lowe is full of belief that the mesh of foreign stars Diego Castro and Andy Keogh with home-grown Socceroos has created a perfect storm in the west.Glory swept into the 2015-16 finals following a late-season resurgence led by Spanish Johnny Warren Medallist Castro (13 goals, four assists) and Irish striker Keogh (10 goals in 15 games).Though they were knocked out by Melbourne City in the first week, the clubs off-season recruitment shows Lowe means business in a competition loaded with even higher quality across the board.Fringe Socceroos Adam Taggart and Rhys Williams have both returned from overseas to headline a squad making the likes of Tony Popovic and John Aloisi sit up and take notice.I think its probably the best squad weve started with in a season at the Glory, which is pleasing, Lowe told AAP.Weve brought good people in with a purpose.Lowe said his long involvement in youth football, coupled with some unique individual circumstances, meant Taggart and Williams were just two of 14 Western Australiaan-born or raised players.ddddddddddddIts a perfect storm, Lowe said.Because of my background, Ive worked with a lot of the boys at youth level when they were younger so I have relationships with those guys.I stay in touch with them and, off the back of that, things happened.Tags and Rhys were ready to come back because of their injuries and, last season, (Shane) Lowry had family here and wanted to come home.The Glory will open their season with a near full-strength squad against Central Coast at home next Saturday, looking to make improvements on last weeks 4-0 pre-season loss to Brisbane.Lowry is the only player not quite match fit but Lowe expects Castro, Taggart and Williams to play at nib Stadium.Perths new season signifies a fresh start for the club after the 2014-15 salary-cap scandal bled into their last campaign.There was legacy stuff last season because we didnt recruit until January, Lowe said.All the time Ive been here, theres been problems and crises.Im waiting for another to raise its head.
