[Late Night Lakers] Dwight Howard intended to re-sign with the Lakers after the title; but they rescinded the offer after he asked for 15 mins to think about it. During that 15 minutes he tweeted that he’s coming back to the Lakers. His agent called him and told him to delete the tweet.

The reality of the situation is that we never should have let Dwight Howard go after the 2020 championship, or even after last year.
Thats kinda f’d up from our front office that they didn’t value him enough. Was this before or after we signed montrez?
I remember 2010 d12
who cares at this point?
You gonna post how we never should have traded Eddie Jones for Glenn Rice next?
Letting Dwight go is a big mistake.
Part of our championship core and we do him like that, and then we sign Harrell who in that recent playoffs was played off the court???
So weird.
I’ve made peace with it, we started off that season like 24-6 without him before the injuries hit
Classic #FAFO
The ONLY regret from the 2020 offseason was not bringing Dwight back. People forgot how important he was to that team. The best center you can ask for to pair with AD, a bruiser and ELITE rim protector.
That 2021 team was great too. I’m maintaining the belief that if Dwight is re-signed, we have a different end to that season….
People over exaggerate the Lakers 2020 offseason, in the sense that we blew up a championship core. We kept a core of Bron, AD, Caruso, KCP, Kuz, Kieff and THT. The ones we let go were either aging, insignificant enough to really care about, or both (Danny Green). But Dwight should’ve been brought back. 100%
Perhaps unpopular opinion here – I think the Lakers were a Dwight Howard type player away from beating the Nuggets. They needed a big strong body who made it difficult for Jokic to back down in the post. AD can’t be expected to play center all game against big bodies like Jokic and Embiid.
He was fighting AD I think that ended his chances
Fucking Harrell trade, fucked us!
Too many moving parts and we already got burned waiting on someone the year prior.
For all Rob knew, that 15m was for him to confirm if he was or wasn’t getting an offer from a specific team.
Imagine how pissed we’d be if we found out we missed on trez because we were waiting on dwight and dwight still didn’t choose us.
Don’t we know this already? Why is this being talked about now?
You snooze you loze
Haha wtf?!
Why would you rescind the offer just cause he asks for 15 mins? lmfao that’s wild
I can’t imagine what Rob was thinking not allowing one of your core pieces to your championship to think the offer over… welp live and learn.
This upsets me beyond belief.
Does Rob have such an ego that he hated not being the one to announce the signing? I have to believe that something else caused that.
He asked for 15 mins to go tweet about it
This is really old news. Wth?
Classic Dwight
