LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dwight Howard played with some of the best players in NBA history during his first two stints with the Los Angeles Lakers. Howard officially signed for his third tour of duty with the Lakers on Friday as the team’s roster overhaul officially kicked into high gear. Besides reuniting with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Howard will join a group that will include Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony. Not on an All-Star team or an Olympic team or like a charity game,” said Howard, who was with Philadelphia last season. Trevor Ariza, who helped the Lakers win a title in 2009, got recruiting pitches from both Westbrook and his children about coming back to Los Angeles.
