Los Angeles Laker Center's Dwight Howard's decision to move for the Houston Rockets signifies a victory for Comcast Corp against Time Warner Cable Inc.

The decision for the move showed up as a boon for Comcast' Houston sports network. The presence of the three-time Defensive Player of the Year in Houston gives Comcast the immediate boost since it ultimately convince Dish Network Corp and DirecTV to shell out rights to carry Comcast's Houston network during the game season.

Comcast SportsNet Houston posted on their website, "The Rockets have landed the biggest free agent in the world. Dwight Howard is coming to Houston."

New York-based LHB Sports, Entertainment & Media. Scarsdale President Lee Burke said in an interview, "A lot of fans in Houston and throughout the state are going to want to see the Rockets play. Comcast SportsNet will have more leverage in getting deals done."

Dwight Howard signed an $88 million, four-year deal with the Rockets opting not to stay with the Lakers for five more years.
