The game has passed Dwight Howard by. Maybe some team will sign him for the vet minimum. He sat out the majority of last season with a glute injury. Somewhere there is a "Is Dwight butt hurt about this trade?" joke, but I'm not going there.

Avery Bradley has really struggled since the Celtics traded him two summers ago. Amazingly he's still only 28. Add Bradley to the list of players who might sign vet minimum contracts to fill out the Lakers roster.
