ESPN Los Ange­les reports the Lak­ers might con­sider trad­ing Dwight Howard, who they acquired in a four-team trade this past off­sea­son. Howard’s con­tract ends after this sea­son and LA is start­ing to get con­cerned he won’t re-sign because of his unhap­pi­ness in Coach Mike D’Antoni’s sys­tem. The trade dead­line is on Feb­ru­ary 21st. The Lak­ers have strug­gled to a 17-and-24 record.

Sacra­mento mayor Kevin John­son is mak­ing an effort to keep the NBA’s Kings in town. John­son revealed a group of local investors yes­ter­day that want to keep the Kings from mov­ing to Seattle.
