"The player is the worst person": Dwight Howard gives his honest take on the Luka Doncic-Lakers trade

Dwight Howard gave his honest take on one of the most shocking trades in recent NBA history. Before the NBA trade deadline closed this season, the Dallas Mavericks traded their superstar Luka Doncic to the LA Lakers. The news came as a shock to the entire NBA community and people couldn't believe it.

On Feb. 21 episode of the "Above the Rim with DH 12" podcast, the former Lakers star gave his honest take on the shocking trade.

"It’s when they don’t want to give you a contract they got to find something to say … Just think about what they were saying about Luka when he left from the Dallas media," Howard said. (41:32)

The former Lakers star presented a narrative where the Mavs were not ready to offer Doncic a super-max contract and decided to part ways with him instead.

"It’s like they want drama, they want to make it look like the player is the worst person in the world, and on top of that, he’s getting paid millions of dollars. So now everybody like oh he’s a jerk," he added. (42:24)

Dwight Howard ended his statement by remarking that the Mavericks not only traded Doncic but also made him look bad in front of the fans by citing his physical conditioning as a reason to let him go.
