"我们绝对相信他能扮演我们为他安排的角色，"沃格尔说。
湖人有德怀特·霍华德的计划
上个月，在德马库斯·库辛斯（DeMarcusCousins）将这位33岁的中锋的ACL交易后，洛杉矶将这位33岁的中锋与一份无担保的一年合同签订。湖人队主教练弗兰克·沃格尔最近在接受Spectrum体育网采访时被问及霍华德在球队中的角色。
"我们绝对相信他能扮演我们为他安排的角色，"沃格尔说。"他来到湖人是在他的职业生涯非常不同的时刻。...现在他的职业生涯很晚，他是一个不同的人，有着不同的心态。我们感觉非常好，他作为一个人在哪里。
"他将担任不同的角色。这将是更多的角色扮演者类型的角色，而不是作为领导。他明白这一点。他对于在这个团队中扮演这样的角色以及作为一个团队能够完成的任务感到兴奋。因此，我们对他要带来什么感到兴奋。
霍华德在2012-13赛季曾效力过湖人队一个赛季，在魔术队职业生涯早期就成为球星，但此后他明显倒退。这位八次入选全明星的球员在得到灰熊队的收购后，重返洛杉矶的道路已经明朗化。湖人队将是霍华德在过去五个赛季中的第五支球队。
湖人今年夏天重建了他们的阵容，当时他们收购了安东尼·戴维斯，与小牛队的勒布朗·詹姆斯配对。他们创造了盖帽空间来增加第三个最大球员，但错过了与快船队签约的考希·伦纳德。
洛杉矶随后将艾弗里·布拉德利、丹尼·格林、肯塔维奥斯·考德威尔-波普、贾维尔·麦基、奎因·库克、拉洪·朗多、亚历克斯·卡鲁索和库森斯交易。

Frank Vogel explains how Lakers plan to utilize Dwight Howard

The Lakers have a plan for Dwight Howard.
Los Angeles inked the 33-year-old center to a non-guaranteed, one-year contract last month after DeMarcus Cousins tore his ACL. Lakers coach Frank Vogel was asked about Howard's role with the team during a recent interview with Spectrum SportsNet.
"We're definitely confident he can play the role we've laid out for him," Vogel said. "He's coming to the Lakers at a very different time in his career. ... He's later in his career now, he's a different person, has a different mindset. We feel really good about where he's at as a person.
"He's going to serve a different role. It's going to be more of a role-player type of role, as opposed to being the lead. He understands that. He's excited about playing that type of role on this team and what we can accomplish as a group. So, we're excited about what he's going to bring to the table."
Howard, who previously spent one season with the Lakers in 2012-13, was a star early in his career with the Magic but has regressed significantly since then. The eight-time All-Star's path to return to Los Angeles was cleared after he received a buyout from the Grizzlies, who acquired him in a deal with the Wizards this summer. The Lakers will be the fifth team Howard has suited up for in the last five seasons.
The Lakers rebuilt their roster this summer when they acquired Anthony Davis in a trade with the Pelicans to pair with LeBron James. They created cap space to add a third max player but missed out on Kawhi Leonard, who signed with the Clippers.
Los Angeles then inked Avery Bradley, Danny Green, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, JaVale McGee, Quinn Cook, Rajon Rondo, Alex Caruso and Cousins to deals.
