If Dwight wouldn’t have gotten him fired in the first place, he wouldn’t have had to worry about a “second run”. Dwight says that SVG has been supportive after he called his former Magic teammates nobodies.

“He knows I would never disrespect my teammates,” said Howard after Lakers’ shootaround Friday in advance of their game against the Toronto Raptors. “He understood exactly what I was saying and that’s what he expressed.”

Howard expanded on the topic after the Lakers’ 118-116 overtime victory over the Raptors, saying, “Both of us, we know how great we were together. I’ve always told him, if we had a second run together, that would be great.

I am sure Mike D’Antoni loved that quote.
