NBA Rumors: 3 Teams that could sign Dwight Howard ahead of the 2019-20 NBA season

#2 Los Angeles Lakers

Dwight Howard season with the Lakers was considered a failure

The prospect of Dwight Howard joining the Los Angeles Lakers seemed remote last week, although DeMarcus Cousins' lengthy injury layoff has heightened the need for Frank Vogel's team to add another big. Just like the Magic, the Lakers are among Howard's former employers, however, his one year spell with the team between 2012-13 was a lot less memorable.

Yet, Howard has spent much of the summer attempting to rebuild his relationship with the LA franchise, and the 33-year-old stands out as perhaps the best veteran centre that the Lakers could sign this summer. Howard has also expressed his interest in linking up with LeBron James, and Cousins' continued absence could provide him with decent minutes.

However, the Lakers should also take caution form Howard's last spell with the team, and the veteran could grow impatient at playing backup to JaVale McGee.
