A 40-year-old center isn't exactly the ideal replacement for the skillsets that Dončić and Reaves possess, so the Lakers will likely pass on Howard's offer. But much like that sweater your great-aunt knit for you as a Christmas present, it's the thought that counts.

But the Lakers, also dealing with injuries to Marcus Smart and Jarred Vanderbilt, are certainly running low on depth.
