Lakers refused to offer Dwight Howard a multi-year contract due to age

Dwight Howard would have signed with the Los Angeles Lakers if they offered him a multi-year contract. The organization refused to do that because Howard is too old. According to some NBA betting sites, the Lakers have the 17th-best odds to win the championship in 2023.

Lakers declined Dwight Howard's offer to join team. On Monday, the center signed with the Taoyuan Leopards of the T1 League based in Taiwan. Lakers started the season 2-8 and are ranked 26th in the league in team shooting percentage. Anthony Davis is playing through a back injury. L.A. ranks last in 3-point shooting and fourth in defensive rebounds.
