Dwight Howard's gone. Gone from Los Angeles and gone from Kobe Bryant's Twitterverse.

The Lakers star explained why he unfollowed his former teammate Monday night.

I wish d12 the best honestly. I just find it hard to follow players that wanna kick my teams ass #thatsjustme

Of course, there's no hard feelings. Kobe's surely not one to hold a grudge, right?

And lest you forget, he already went to Instagram to show who he considers the true heart of the Lakers in his initial response to Howard's exodus to Houston.

Plus, Kobe's pretty excited about the new guy the Lakers just added to man the middle next season, Chris Kaman.

Maybe it's addition by subtraction?
