REPORT: Dwight Howard Likely To Ditch The Lakers And Leave $30 Million On The Table

According to ESPN's Chris Broussard, it's unlikely that Dwight Howard will re-sign with the Los Angeles Lakers this summer.

Howard is an unrestricted free agent, meaning he can sign with any team.

But under the NBA's new rules, the Lakers can offer him a contract worth $118 million over five years, and everyone else can only offer him a $88 million deal over four years.

He'd be leaving $30 million on the table if he left LA.

The Lakers could potentially sign-and-trade Howard so they don't let him go for nothing, but the team is reportedly not interested in any sign-and-trade scenarios.

Broussard reports that the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks are potential landing spot for Howard.

The Rockets are probably the most intriguing option. They're one of the youngest teams in the league, and they outperformed expectations last season.

But as we know, Howard can change his mind at any moment. Maybe when it comes closer to decision time, he'll reconsidered leaving that $30 million on the table.

if they WERE good enough to keep him why would he leave?


oh that's right, you guys suck ass.  your coach sucks.  your point guard is 50 years old and your shooting guard is a cripple.  dwight wants to win, that's why he's heading to Texas.

[Sccit]

the reason he's leaving is cuz he cant handle the pressure and probably realizes he'll still be a second option to kobe, genius.....and we dont even want him LOL

[Russell Bell]

thank god hes not going to the warriors

Kobe tore his achilles, he's not going to be the 27 PPG guy he was before.  and he's dreaming if he thinks he can average 10 assists a game lmao


anyways Dwight wants to go to a place to win, not to be second fiddle to the Clippers.  The Clippers are going to be the best team in LA for the next couple of years...well however long CP3's prime lasts unless Blake works on his shooting.

SG Harden
SF Parsons
PF Asik

Dwight is a free agent though...why do they need to sign and trade?  i thought it was unrestricted if he opts out?

So he can get max money

[Hack Wilson - real]

maybe he'll pull a Lebron and take less to go win.  that rockets team would be serious.

[Sccit]

sign and trade makes more sense for him in terms of karma and in terms of finances.......if he wants to be seen as the nba's biggest bitch of all time, then he'll walk for nothing and leave money on the table in the process. wouldnt put it past him.
