was thinking the same and this is exactly the kind of recruiting i wouldnt mind Lebron doing, as opposed to when he reportedly wanted us to get Nerlens Noel few months ago. hes a double double machine, averaged one in every season for his career. even his lone season in LA where he underachieved, was a 17-12 guy and led the league in rebounds. defensively hed fit right in and offensively i think Luke finds a role for him within the system. the other plus, we would prevent the warriors from getting him (hed be scary there, they managed to make McGee look useful, imagine Howard)
the negative, his feud with Kobe and he left on kinda bad terms, but if we win a championship, all will be forgotten
If the Wolves want him they can certainly grab him before the Lakers can. The Lakers wouldn't be moving up to draft him. They would be doing so to grab Zhaire Smith.
or packaging Kuzma and their first this year and next to move up to get Doncic.
i seriously thought Howard was a free agent after this season, and was expecting him to join the Warriors on vet min (of their 5 centers, only Bell is under contract for next year. Zaza and Mcgee are sure gone, West might retire, looney looks for more money imo). turns out he still has a year on his contract, and gets a buyout. suspicious as fuck

Rumors say that if Anfernee Simons is there at 25, they will take him.
Same with Mitchell Robinson at #39 (Rumors are this is why they acquired this pick from Philadelphia last night, to make sure to get him if he is still on the board. They had doubts he would be there at 47)
