Nie Joakim Noah, nie Marreese Speights i nie Marcin Gortat, a Dwight Howard trafi do Lakers żeby zastąpić kontuzjowanego DeMarcusa Cousinsa. Odchodzący w niesławie, po jednorocznej przygodzie w Los Angeles w sezonie 2012/2013, Howard dostanie tym samym szansę żeby zrehabilitować się w oczach fanów Lakers. 8-krotny All-Star ma jednak co raz gorszą opinię w NBA i zdołał przekonać zarząd Lakers do zaledwie niegwarantowanej umowy.
Lakers are entering a Howard partnership with caution. For years, he's talked about making changes in how he interacts with coaches and teammates. He's still saying those things now, but the ability to cut him without cost keeps leverage with organization. https://t.co/Q7i5NcAtJA

Howard came to meet Lakers after dropping 25 pounds; showed his back was healthy. Lakers want him to protect rim/rebound in limited role. There was sense Howard realized he hit "rock bottom" and had been humbled. Still they'll judge him on actions, not words. He's been warned.
