Via The Athletic:
League sources said Howard had a convincing and emotional meeting with the players and Lakers officials, explaining how he had reached rock bottom a season ago and needed to find a new mindset in his life. On and off the floor. He was not the teammate he needed to be in playing for three teams in the past three years. He did not take the game seriously enough, he did not understand what was needed to turn the corner.
The Lakers had gathered momentum in their own research into Howard over the past week, but needed the roster to be fully on board. Howard won over the players in the locker room, including (LeBron) James and (Anthony) Davis, for his approach and mindset in the visit, sources said.
Howard is not a guy who gets along well with others.
The minute he pisses off LeBron, expect him to be out of Los Angeles pretty quickly.
