Now that things are all said and done and Dwight Howard has jumped ship to the Rockets. I’m sure you’re wondering what his relationship with Phil Jackson was on. Dwight admits that during the season, he asked the Lakers to bring the Zen Master on as head coach… Guess we know what would’ve helped keep DH in L.A.

Dwight signed a four-year, $88 million maximum contract with the Houston Rockets that includes an early termination option after the 2015-16 season and a 15 percent trade kicker, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
