Howard’s Mysterious Offseason Switch…
The 2019-20 Lakers were like a perfectly mixed smoothie of talent, where LeBron James and Anthony Davis were blended with role players like Alex Caruso, Rajon Rondo, and Dwight Howard, resulting in an NBA championship. As if the universe changed its smoothie recipe overnight, fans were baffled when the Lakers decided to let Dwight Howard—a player who brought thunderous dunks like Zeus himself—slip through their fingers. Howard was so confident about staying, he tweeted his excitement, only to delete it when informed the Lakers’ contract offer evaporated faster than ice in a desert.
In an interview with Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson, Howard explained his bewilderment at the abrupt turn of events. “I thought we had a deal! I tweeted and bam, agent calls, saying it’s gone!” he shared. “I kept dreaming of parading through confetti-soaked streets.” But his hopes were dashed. The Lakers nabbed Marc Gasol and Montrezl Harrell, believing they’d created a championship casserole. Injuries to their superstars eventually turned their hopes into soggy cereal. Howard would return to the Lakers later, joining the Basketball Hall of Fame along the way, cementing his legacy like a statue… of a very tall guy holding a basketball.
