I think the implication is that Howard just told someone else to go out for him on the court. All Star game and all, probably pretty casual about subbing in and out.
Never minded the Lakers but trying the Miami method of picking up two top guys and expecting them to mesh, and, trying to fit it on Kobe's team, who's had the success he has had, its not surprising it didn't work out the same as Miami as James still have to be humble having not won anything yet.
