I'll wait to hear it from someone other than Broussard.
That said, You had to think that once the Nets fell off as candidates that the Lakers are/were the only real choice where he would sign a long term deal.
Via Twitter a few minutes ago:
Chris Broussard @Chris_Broussard
Sources confirm @JRudolphSports report that Dwight Howard is ready to join Lakers. If traded to LA DH will re-sign long-term with team.
*IF this is true and goes through, the Lakers gotta be the favorites to win the West imo w/ Kobe, Nash, Howard, and Gasol. Here's to hoping Stern works his veto magic again.

They'll be neck and neck with OKC.
They still need to add more to their bench and a capable back-up PG.
Here we go with this crap, good lord who could not see this one coming here? LA will always get these type of trades and so on! Last year was a year we could have won it all and the chips fellin place for it alot of times, this year it will not happen. I knew this crap would happen, literally.
Dwight Howard is not joining the Lakers.
Yet.
Bynum still has to agree to it, which means it'll have to be a three-way with Houston. s doesn't want to sign the extension in Orlando.
I'm also ready to join the Lakers, where do I sign?
GNSFs not allowed.![]()
If Kobe is so great why does he need this much help, It's BS![]()
Magic and Bird had a lot of help, and they are so great.
They still have Mike Brown as coach, tbh...
It's not about Kobe. It's about NBA royalty doing what they do![]()
Did Jordan? All he had was Scottie Pippen and good role players not 4 star players.
Tbh even the mid 2000s Spurs were stacked
Just because you have a lot of help, that prevents you from being great?

That doesn't mean there's a deal, it just means Howard would sign if traded there. Word on the street was that the Lakers were going to try to get him and figured he'd fall in love with LA when he was there, which he probably would. WHen money's the same, does anyone ever leave the Lakers voluntarily?
Dwight will put them over OKC probably for a year or two depending on them resigning Harden & Ibaka. However I don't see them stopping Dwight & Gasol next year or the year after. Moreover they have Nash running point now.Only team standing between them winning a championship is the Miami Heat.
I would love to see how Dwight responds with Nash as his PG. We could very well see a career year from Howard.![]()
I don't think Dwight Howard makes much more of a difference than Bynum does on the Lakers...even if they get Howard the best addition they got this summer was Nash
True, but Dwight fits much better with Nash as compared to slowpoke Bynum.
And he could probably start learning some real post game. No offense to Ewing, but I'd rather bring in KAJ.
lol This Dude has had Ewing & Hakeem mentor him yet he's still has got no real moves. I doubt Kareem would be much different, tbh.
But if the trade is not imminent then don't be surprised if Howard changes his mind.
Lakers front office > Spurs front office
The lakers have a history of getting the top players via trades and free agency(front office moves), the Spurs build through the draft and bring back the same team year after year.
Kobe, Shaq,Odom, Gasol, Nash, Howard, Chris Paul(shot down)
All acquired through an aggressive front office
None were their draft picks
lol @ new CBA
entire NBA
Short of the Spurs trading for Andrew Bynum themselves, they don't stand a chance against the Lakers.
While the Spurs stand pat and continue to believe in Bonner the Lakers get better.
The Real Truth, imo.
