Dwight Howard is now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, and with a few months until the season begins, speculation from now until then will be about 1) Where he’s going to buy a house (since he’s obviously signing an extension with the team) and 2) What Hollywood starlet he’s going to start dating. Howard already has a young child; a former Orlando Magic dancer, Royce Reed, is the mother.

There were (bogus?) rumors late last week about Howard dropping $20 million on a house on the Newport Coast, and the chatter was so loud, a real estate agent tried to pinpoint the house:

3 story Santa Barbara style home with 6 bedrooms, 11 baths, private pool, 5 car garage and a reported 14,500 square feet of living space. The home sits at top of the hill side at the bottom of the community and has unobstructed views of the Pelican Hill Resort, Golf Course with stunning ocean and coastline views looking towards LA

Here’s the problem with that house – if you’re dropping $20 million, wouldn’t you want a little privacy? At various points on that lot, your neighbor is a 3-pointer away from you. Better keep the music down at parties, Dwight. [OC Weekly via Jay]
