The former Lakers center has applied to return to the Purple and Gold after his short contract with the Philadelphia 76ers ended, which has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions among fans.
It was an important decision for the Lakers. With super-centers like Jokic rising in the league, the Lakers desperately need a center with defensive ability to deal with these top interior players. Howard is the ideal person to meet that need.
Looking back at Howard's history with the Lakers, he led the Lakers to the playoffs with Kobe Bryant in the 2012-2013 season, and showed strong interior dominance that season. Now, with the addition of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers' roster is stronger, and the addition of Howard will undoubtedly add another layer of interior thickness to the Lakers.
However, it is worth noting that there are also some challenges and unknowns associated with Howard's return. First of all, he is no longer the most physical player he was back then, and age and injuries could affect his performance. Secondly, his actions and remarks off the pitch are often controversial, which may have an impact on the team's team atmosphere.
But in any case, Lakers management is confident of Howard's return. After all, as a seasoned veteran, Howard's value on the court is not just in the numbers, but also in his leadership and experience. He can be a role model for the young players and provide them with valuable guidance and assistance.
Finally, Howard's return is also exciting news for fans. His glorious history and deep emotional bond with the Lakers have fans looking forward to his return. I believe that in the journey of the new season, the Lakers will be able to create a glorious history again with the hard work and hard work of the whole team.
