In a recent interview, Steve Nash confirmed what everyone already knew, Howard was not happy in Los Angeles. Shaq, and others have blasted Dwight saying he was not strong enough to handle the pressure of playing in L.A.
Steve Nash was more diplomatic and said Dwight was just never “comfortable.”
Steve Nash was more diplomatic and said Dwight was just never “comfortable.”
"Ultimately, I think Dwight wasn't comfortable here and didn't want to be here and I think if he didn't want to be here, there's no point for anyone in him being here," Nash told The Mason & Ireland Show on ESPN LA 710 radio on Tuesday. "So, we wish him the best and move on."
Nash was reluctant to divulge specifics from the meeting, but acknowledged that Howard voiced some frustration.
"Dwight had some issues with the season," Nash said. "I think it kind of basically goes with what he said to the media that he never quite felt embraced in L.A. He never quite felt supported. That's basically it. I think in some ways you can read into that what you will, but I think he never quite felt comfortable at home and I don't know if that's anybody's fault."
However, Nash said that X's and O's played just as big a part with Howard as health did.
"He didn't seem like he really wanted to do a pick-and-roll offense, maybe because he had run one in Orlando for so long and he wanted to get in the post more," Nash said.
