Dwight Howard Believes He, JaVale McGee ‘Need Each Other’ To Help Lakers Win Games

The Los Angeles Lakers will be going into the 2019-20 NBA season with JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard as their two main big men.

After DeMarcus Cousins went down with a potential season-ending injury, the Lakers brought in Howard on a non-guaranteed deal to be McGee’s reinforcements.

Howard has been on a mission since signing to prove that he is a different player and person than the one that left the Lakers six seasons ago. Howard sparked angst amongst a lot of Lakers fans and general manager Rob Pelinka and head coach Frank Vogel know all about that.
