The Lakers have announced that they are going forward with a contract for Grizzlies Center Dwight Howard who last played for the team during the 2013 season. Here are the details from Woj:
Sources: Dwight Howard surrendered nearly $2.6M of his $5.6M guaranteed salary to Memphis in buyout. He can earn $2.6M on his vet minimum deal with Lakers — if he survives on roster past early January. Ideal outcome for Grizzlies, who never intended to bring Howard to camp. https://t.co/uLglUip1JT

So is this a good move? Well, personally I would have tried to sign Joakim Noah who had a good year last season with Memphis but D12 even at age 33 can roll out of bed and give you a guaranteed 13 and 11.
The talent was never the problem with D12. It’s always been his jovial party all the time attitude that rubs people the wrong way. With the Lakers structuring the contract the way they have it is likely that Dwight comes to work and doesn’t give us much in the way of soundbites or gimmicks because there is $2.6 million on the line and no one, not even a multi-millionaire, likes to lose that much money.
