Dwight Howard’s Laker Contract Mix-Up…
In a wild plot twist worthy of a soap opera, Dwight Howard thought he’d rejoined the Lakers in 2020. The Lakers had a dream team that won them a championship, and many fans felt they should have given that squad another go. Dwight, known for making rebounds look easier than finding socks in a tumble dryer, believed he was returning. He even tweeted about it before quickly deleting it like a magician making a rabbit disappear. Suddenly, he found himself signing with the 76ers instead. In a chat with Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson, Howard revealed he was told the deal was off after his joyful tweet. He described it as being more confusing than trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded.
Howard expressed disappointment over not defending the title, feeling he was thrust into an alternate universe where the Lakers’ plans were more unpredictable than a cat at 3 AM. The team snagged Marc Gasol and Montrezl Harrell, thinking they had all the ingredients to cook up a repeat championship. But injuries left them limping like a three-legged race at a family picnic. Dwight eventually returned for his last NBA season before landing in the Basketball Hall of Fame. It’s his consolation prize for missing the NBA 75th Anniversary team—like finding a chocolate factory waiting at the end of a dieting rainbow.
