Jonas Valanciunas a mid-to-low tier trade target for Lakers
Jovan Buha on Lakers targeting Jonas Valanciunas: ‘There was some interest obviously and he was on LeBron’s list so I think the Lakers will probably revisit that, but I don’t think there’s as much interest as a guy like a Wendell Carter or some of these other guys that have popped up. So I view it more as like a mid-to-low tier trade target for the Lakers.’

Dwight Howard on not wanting to join the Lakers: I wanted to go to Brooklyn, but I made an emotional decision to leave Orlando
There was another team that Howard was interested in going to so he could give his career a fresh start. “I wanted to beat the Lakers, they had just beat us in the Finals so in my mind I’m like ‘Why would I go to the team that just beat us?’ I wanted to go to Brooklyn and just start my whole career over but I got sent to LA,” Howard said. “It didn’t work out, and I made an emotional decision to leave… I didn’t really make a smart, logical decision, I just made an emotional decision at the time.”
