I'd agree with you if he had said it. Anyway I am just enjoying it in here. I knew Dwight would be a cancer to your team. I'd like to see him go to Charlotte or New Orleans to be honest. I haven't seen a guy who's had it so good bur just can't appreciate it. Hell he's in the greatest place in the world to play basketball. Go figure.

Consensus on Dwight is the Lakers will call his bluff and
re-sign him in the summer.
They've been turning down all trade inquiries.

I hope we don't trade him for KLove. Love is probably the most overrated player in the league IMO. I'd trade anyone but Kobe on this team before I trade Dwight. MDA HAS to be the first to go, he is the worst coach of all time. Look at the Knicks right now, they are the number 2 seed in the East, and that is with injuries to some of their key players (Felton, Melo, Amare, Shumpert, etc). With MDA they were barely 8th seed and getting steamrolled in the first round by Boston and Miami. He is a pure negative

Hire Jerry Sloan.

Trade Pau for some no-nonsense role players.

Something like that should work.

I would trade Nash to Toronto for Lowry - I feel like they would do it just for the extra revenue. Raps would include Fields horrible contract or Kleiza.

Now you have:
Coach Sloan
CT: Howard/ Sacre/ Hill (INJ)
PF: Millsap/ Clark/ Jamison
SF: Artest/ Kleiza/ Ebanks
SG: Bryant/ Bell/ Meeks/ Roy (INJ)
PG: Lowry/ Blake/ Duhon

Waive: Ebanks

Semi that Brandon Roy contract is essentially dead money. We'll be paying the guy to not play. In this new CBA 5mill a season isnt money to be thrown away

The alternative is the lottery, which means a lot more in lost revenue as a result of not having deep playoff runs.

For the lurkers of the Nets and other fans......


The Nets have nothing the Lakers would want, and don't go saying " well they can ask this team to help". Save that weak bull for the blind dummy. The Lakers aren't going to panic and trade Dwight, and if any such trade did happen to go down it would be totally on the Lakers terms and they'll dictate.

Believe that

This is just BS to make himself and his crew look good or try to play mind games with the Lakers to get D'antoni out or Gasol out. I don't want my team dragged through his mess.

1. Nobody really believes this rumor really.

2. Lakers obviously would dictate where he ends up. The best deals for Howard and if the Lakers want to go into a different direction would be Brooklyn or Sacramento/Seattle even Atlanta/Chicago would be attractive packages.

3. Quite frankly, most Net fans don't want him. Atleast until he plays like he's Dwight Howard and not the meaningless stats he's putting up.

Sooo Dwight's people have basically come out and said Mike isn't the right coach, we already know how pau feels about the system, and Kobe said this isn't working (i'm assuming he means antoni). i think it's pretty obvious that mike will be gone by the time summer rolls around. The guy has so far managed to make one of the most star studded teams a complete joke and has his top players doubting his system. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we stand pat at the deadline, fire mike at the end of the season, bring in a competent coach, bring in an NBA caliber bench, and are fighting for a top 3 seed this time next year 8-)

The fact is this, Howard sells tickets, he is popular, and even though Kobe, Howard, Rondo and Garnet are losing teams, who have a great chance of not making the playoffs, they all still got All Star selections. All-Star no longer means the same thing that it use to, what kind of all star is on a losing team?

Having a guy like Howard on your team in a big market, just means more money, more money than having Lopez. If I were Howard and want a ring, I would bail out of LakerLand and go to The BK. If I were Love, I wouldn't want to join any other team. If T-Wolves were all healthy and working 100%, they are gonna rock.

There's no guarantees that the Wolves are going to be a legitimate contender, so Love and (more importantly) his agent are going to lean towards the best financial situation (a big market).

Hawks fan here, I come in peace, with a thought: it makes sense that the NETS are the ones who planted this story, especially if they have connections to Rudolph. That way, they put pressure on the Lakers, then deny it to drive down the price. If they want any chance to get Howard, it'd only come in some way like this.
