Is Dwight Howard the Right Star to Lead LA Lakers into Unclear Future?

The Los Angeles Lakers are hoping their ability to offer center Dwight Howard more money than any other team, along with the chance to lead one of the NBA's most storied franchises, will be enough to persuade him to stay in Los Angeles.

But when was the last time you heard the words "Howard" and "leader" in the same sentence?

Howard may have the physical talent and charisma of a star, but does he have the mental fortitude and skill set to carry the Lakers into an unclear future? Not if you believe some of the rumors lately.
