1. Dwight Howard

After many thought his basketball career might be finished, Howard signed with the Los Angeles Lakers last season and revitalized his career. With most people doubting his chances of making the most of his opportunity, Howard proved he still has some game and that he can be a good teammate.

Howard came off the bench for the Lakers and only averaged 7.5 points per game in 19 minutes a night. As seen in the playoffs, Howard still can defend at a good level and also is still an effective rim runner. Howard and LeBron James teamed up many times for powerful slams that sent shockwaves through the arena.

What would Howard bring to the Grizzlies? Howard would bring energy that could provide a spark for the Grizzlies. He would add a true lob threat and add some rebounding on the offensive end.
