The Case for the Lakers to Sign Dwight Howard
The Lakers are in need of a replacement center after DeMarcus Cousins tore his ACL. While Dwight Howard had a disastrous season in Los Angeles in 2012, would a reunion make sense in 2019?
It’s the middle of August, and while the nights in Los Angeles are calm, cool, and flirty(???), the NBA is a barren desert, void of takes and generally anything interesting. Everyone is on vacation. Daryl Morey can say James Harden is better than Michael Jordan and no one really has the energy to fight about it. Usually nothing exciting is happening in the NBA world this time of year, but we’ve been given a reprieve in the form of Dwight Howard.
