To say Dwight Howard isn't the best Center in the league is pretty dumb.

oh now you've gone and pissed Verlander off

quote:

Josh Smith if he's willing to take a paycut

---

i think hes made it pretty clear-- hes going to where ever gives him the most money. hes said many times hes looking for a max deal

quote:

---

have D12 maybe take less money

the least hes going to take is a non bird rights max deal.

And your a fool if you don't think the Lakers are gonna make a real strong run at LBJ

---

and the knicks made a strong run at him in 2010.

i know you laker fans think you can get anyone you want via FA or rape every team in a trade, but the lake show is in a terrible place right now. old, injured roster, bloated payroll, kobe dilemma on the horizon, about to have 3 coaches on the payroll, no draft picks, the owner during the glory years is dead and his kids are now running the show, little brother handing you your head now.


why would LBJ waste even ONE year in that transition when he can keep winning titles in MIA?

My prediction:
Pau gets traded to Houston for chandler parsons and picks. LA gets a huge trade exception. Houston has harden and gasol and asik. Houston trades Lin for picks and cap space

Dwight resigns with LA

Jeanie Buss is the new principle owner not jim buss so Phil comes back in a front office role

Artest gets amnestied, lakers sign JJ Redick

Dantoni resigns with a settlement, Brian Shaw is named the new coach

Kobe comes back in Feb, struggles and retires at season end

Buss and Phil make a play for LBJ after 2014 but he resigns with Miami

Noah, Gasol, Chandler and Lopez are better right now.

---

Howard 17/12 58% FG 2.4 blocks 19.48
Gasol 14/8 49% FG 1.7 blocks 19.57 PER
Noah 12/11 48% FG 2.1 blocks 18.16 PER
Chandler 10/11 63% FG 1.1 blocks 18.88 PER
Lopez 19/7 52% FG 2.1 blocks 24.81 PER

So despite not being near 100% all season, he still put up better numbers than all of those guys. Unless you like centers that get 7 boards a game and shoot under 50% from the field

And I fricking hate Dwight. He's a little bitch. Not as big of a bitch as you though.

They should have flipped pau and Howard more

Pau in the low post and Dwight running screen and roll and diving to the basket. But Dwight doesn't like screen and roll and wants to post up. The lakers had the best low post scorer in the league standing at the top of the key watching Dwight clang jump hooks off the rim and backboard.

Dwight is a selfish bitch

First off I hate the lakers

Once they fire D'Antoni and bring Phil back to work the twin towers with the triangle Howard will re-sign

And how would pairing DHoward and LBJ be a transition?

Listen to the latest bs report with jalen and jacoby, they go into great detail

Insurance covers 80% of Kobe's deal, amnesty artest, resign DH and trade pau for youth and a trade exception

Simmons says pau to Houston for parsons and picks is the move and he talks to morey so I don't think the ship has left the port

Blake
Redick
Parsons
Clark
DH
With shaw running the triangle is not bad
Kobe comes back and retires as a laker. He has said next year is his last so no point in using the amnesty on him when you still owe artest $24mm

Harden and gasol would be fantastic for Houston

Parsons is nice but gasol is a better fit

He is still the best low post scorer in the league

Parsons wont be traded for Gasol. I guarantee that ain't happening. They'll sign Josh Smith and keep Parsons before they trade for Gasol.
