While the signing of Montrezl Harrell wound up being the Los Angeles Lakers’ biggest piece of news from a crazy first night of NBA free agency, the saga involving Dwight Howard just hours before was far more strange.
Not long into the free agency period, both Howard and Shams Charania of The Athletic tweeted out the the veteran big man would be re-signing with the Lakers. However, seconds later, both tweets were deleted and it was reported that Howard was still listening to offers.
What followed was approximately an hour of complete silence on his situation.
