The Los Angeles Lakers took a risk signing Dwight Howard to a non-guaranteed contract nearing the end of the 2019 NBA offseason.
However, Howard is arguably one of the biggest bargain contracts in the league even after the Lakers fully guaranteed it at the beginning of 2020. He has been the ideal fit for the Lakers as JaVale McGee‘s backup center and he’s a part of the reason this team is so successful.
Beyond the success Howard has had, what’s undeniable is the fact that he has been one of the most fun players on this team all season.
