Dwight Howard had his name brought up during Tuesday's edition of First Take on ESPN, during which Stephen A. Smith suggested the former NBA center could make a return to the Los Angeles Lakers' frontcourt.

Brian Windhorst has made it clear that he does not believe an NBA comeback is in the cards for Dwight Howard, and it would appear the eight-time All-Star

The Lakers are 31-19 without Doncic this season and have proved that they can compete, with or without him. Now, adding Doncic truly changes the dynamic for the better. However, Windhorst saying that they should have a “free pass” this season simply doesn't make sense.

The available pool of potential additions is so underwhelming that Stephen A. Smith suggested, with a straight face on Tuesday's First Take, that Los Angeles should sign Dwight Howard. This unusual line of thinking elicited a solid bit from Brian Windhorst.
