Welcome to Lakers Linkedin, our new free agency preview series (inspired by our friends over at Liberty Ballers' own "Sixers Tinder") where we look at the "resumes" of various free agents, and determine whether or not we think the Lakers' should hire them. Today, we kick things off with a familiar face: Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard's Resume: -6-11, 265 lbs, Center -8 time All-Star -5 time All-NBA First Team -3 time Defensive Player of the Year -4 time All-NBA Defensive First Team Dwight Howard is an accomplished NBA center, especially on the defensive end of the floor. He is the first player in the history of the league to win the Defensive Player of the Year award three seasons in a row. Howard even made an appearance in the NBA Finals in 2009. He is also the first player to lead the league in rebounding for five consecutive seasons, surpassing the previous record of four by a guy named Wilt Chamberlain. Howard has long been considered one of the best centers in the league. Despite all this, Howard reportedly wants out of Houston. The big man was already planning to opt out of his contract for a maximum pay day, but he might be headed to a new destination. This leads to the biggest concern with Howard; he never seems to be satisfied. Jeff Van Gundy said something on a broadcast about Howard during his tenure with the Lakers that equated to "Dwight Howard wants to be treated like a superstar, but without the expectations of being a superstar." Lakers fans wouldn’t want Howard again, especially after it seemed like his poor relationship with Kobe Bryant torpedoed a promising season. Lakers fans should reconsider, at the right price. - See more at: http://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2016/6/13/11830282/la-lakers-free-agency-dwight-howard-linkedin
