Golden State Warriors star Andrew Bogut has admitted that he felt Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard made a "circus" of his free agency situation this summer.

The Australian ace will be hoping for a big season as he is currently in the final year of his current deal, but was speculated as being a possible trade bait to lure Howard to Oakland.

"Right now Dwight is a better player than I am," he said according to News.com.au.

"Dwight created a bit of a circus with it all, he wanted to get his five minutes."

The Melbourne native will be hoping to help his team repeat their success of last season and reach the Western Conference playoffs again.
