报告：湖人队可以和霍华德交谈

根据The Athletic的Shams Charania的报道，洛杉矶湖人队已获准与孟菲斯灰熊队中锋德怀特·霍华德交谈并且有共同的兴趣。

联盟消息人士告诉@TheAthleticNBA @Stadium，灰熊队允许洛杉矶湖人队与德怀特霍华德交谈。

预计湖人队将很快请求允许与德怀特·霍华德交谈，并且在德马库斯·考辛斯撕裂ACL后八次全明星和洛杉矶之间存在共同利益，联盟消息人士告诉@TheAthleticNBA @Stadium 。

湖人队将加入霍华德，后者有望最终被灰熊队释放，以取代德马库斯考辛斯，后者在加入球队一年的合同后遭受了ACL撕裂。

霍华德在奥兰多魔术队加入球队之后，作为湖人队的一员，在2012-13赛季度过了一段时间，这是四队交易的一部分。

这位33岁的八届全明星球员在他与湖人队唯一一个赛季的场均篮板球中领跑联盟。

霍华德是三届年度最佳防守球员，五次入选NBA最佳阵容第一队。

上赛季他只与华盛顿奇才队出现过九场比赛，11月份做了背部手术，然后在试图康复时因腿筋受伤。

Report: Lakers get OK to speak to Howard

原文：

The Los Angeles Lakers have been given permission to speak to Memphis Grizzlies centre Dwight Howard and there is mutual interest, according to a report by Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The Grizzlies are granting the Los Angeles Lakers permission to speak with Dwight Howard, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

The Lakers are expected to request permission soon to speak to Dwight Howard and there's mutual interest between the eight-time All-Star and L.A. in wake of DeMarcus Cousins' torn ACL, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

The Lakers would add Howard, who is expected to eventually be released by the Grizzlies, to replace DeMarcus Cousins, who suffered a torn ACL last week after joining the team on a one-year contract.

Howard spent the 2012-13 season as a member of the Lakers after joining the team from the Orlando Magic as part of a massive four-team trade.

The 33-year-old eight-time all-star led the league in rebounds per game in his only season with the Lakers.

Howard is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year and has been named First Team All-NBA five times.

He only appeared in nine games last season with the Washington Wizards, having back surgery in November and then suffering a hamstring injury while trying to rehab.
