The Los Angeles Lakers may very well be in for a long offseason with Dwight Howard. Following their first round loss, Dwight said that he has earned the right to take his time and make a decision. Knowing Dwight, he will do just that.
Kobe Bryant seems fine with that. He agrees that Dwight has earned that right, but that Kobe plans on being that last one to talk to Dwight once he has weighed his other options.
“For me, you kind of let him do his due diligence and then move in and talk to him and figure out if this is a place he wants to be,” Bryant said. “We all want him here. But then that’s when the selling begins [after Howard is courted by other teams]. You don’t start the selling process right before he goes and does all this stuff. You want to get the last word. You want to have the final word and the closing argument.”
