Dwight Howard Signs with Philadelphia 76ers

     According to his agent, Charles Briscoe, Dwight Howard is signing a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.

     This free agency move follows a championship season with the Los Angeles Lakers, during which he contributed great minutes and a number of solid plays as a rebounding and defensive anchor. His departure will leave a hole in LA's front-court, as he joins the 76ers, who also acquired Danny Green through a trade. According to sources, Howard agreed to a veterans minimum exception of $2.6 million.

     Only time will tell how his veteran presence and skill-set will affect the 76ers in the upcoming season.
