Howard would have been an interesting candidate, as he spent some time with LeBron James on the Miami Heat.
After Howard retired from the league as a player, he immediately began his coaching career as an assistant coach with the Heat.
As for L.A.’s current coaching vacancy, it is still unclear who the team will hire. However, the organization is reportedly zeroing in on a few candidates, including Darvin Ham and Terry Stotts.
