    Dwight Howard's personality in joining the Lakers will be an interesting development to monitor.

    Howard is known for having a personality that is often lacks the proper seriousness even during games.

    Kevin Garnett often mocked Howard during games.

    "Paint your face, clown!" yelled Garnett frequently.

    "That will be an interesting dynamic," one ex-teammate of Howard told Yahoo! Sports on Friday. "Not even just with Kobe. I don't think [Steve] Nash and Pau [Gasol] will enjoy that at this point in their career."

    I think they are all mature enough to handle the situation. But of course, we'll have to wait and see.

    Yea, definitely don't think Kobe, Nash, or Gasol have any time for tom foolery or immature antics. I think Howard's gonna learn real quick what's acceptable and what's not.

    Dealing with Dwight Howard's personality should be a hell of a lot easier than dealing with Andrew Bynum's. The real question with the Lakers is moreso about how Steve Nash will fit in with Kobe than how Dwight will fit in with Pau.
