Jodie Meeks became one of Dwight Howard's closest friends this season with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Meeks was asked on Monday if he thinks Howard will re-sign with the Lakers.

"I know he loves this city," said Meeks. "I know he loves the team. We got pretty close this year as friends -- from the same hometown [Atlanta]. I can't really say exactly what he's going to do but I know he likes the city."

Meeks has one season remaining on his contract with the Lakers, assuming they pick up their team option.

Lakers pass on Dwight or you will regret it.

as opposed to losing him for nothing?

Hope we can retain Dhow but if we don't doesn't really matter to me we still have kobe and we're the Lakers! First thing is what to do with Dantoni!
