Report: Dwight Howard Wanted The Lakers To Phase Out Kobe Bryant
So, take this with a grain of salt as you would any other sourced report, but it jibes with public comments from both players as well as common sense: ESPN claims that a big reason Dwight Howard left the Lakers was because he didn't want to play with Kobe Bryant for another five years....
