Dwight Howard says the Lakers Will draft Bronny James and re-sign LeBron for his 21st season
Former Lakers big man Dwight Howard does not see a bright future for his former team. Speaking on ‘the OGs Show,’ Howard revealed his predictions for their big moves this summer and explained with confidence that LeBron will be back in the Purple and Gold next season.
“They’re getting Bronny next year, LeBron said, ‘Listen, I’m not signing till y’all get Bronny…’ he’s playing for the Lakers. Bron gonna play his 21st season with the Lakers and they gonna get the first round exit again.”
Drafting Bronny would be a good choice for the Lakers and securing LeBron for the final stretch of his career would be a great way to end such a memorable era. Even so, Howard only sees this ending in one way for the Lake Show.
“It’s over with,” said Howard. “The new kids are on the block. It’s gonna be hard for a lot of these older teams to win with these new kids on the block.”
The Lakers had a nice ride with LeBron James and Anthony Davis but it’s hard to believe their run will go on for much longer. James is set to turn 40 in December and Anthony Davis is reaching the age where his long history of injury problems may start to take their toll on his body.
Between the aging stars and the rise of young dynasties like the Thunder, Timberwolves, and Boston Celtics, there isn’t much room at the top and the Lakers don’t have enough to keep up with the elites. Even if LeBron comes back and the Lakers are able to make some trades, they are still a long way off from being a team that anyone can call favorites in the West.
