Now, I am just having fun with it. But, I am still disappointed in how things turned out from all angles from Dwight to the Magic organization. But, life moves on.

Lakers had a team meeting this morning
Bryant also spoke up, acknowledging he could be "hard to play with" and asking Howard if that bothered him.

Howard's answer was unclear, though he did not engage Bryant in nearly as vocal a manner as Bryant engaged him.

"He didn't go back at Kobe," said the person who witnessed the meeting.

It was not known how long the actual meeting lasted, but the Lakers' shoot-around went an hour longer than expected.

Howard was contrite with reporters afterward, saying he was sorry for demanding more touches two days earlier. The meeting seemed to have affected him.

"It starts with me," he said Wednesday. "I have to be more of a player out there on the court and not worry about anything, not complain. Just do what I do best."

After scoring only eight points on five shots against Chicago, Howard kept telling reporters to "look at the stat sheet" after the game.

"That was immature," he said Wednesday. "I shouldn't have done it.

"I've just got to go out there and dominate defensively and make it tough for teams. I just have to get back to doing that and not worry about the offense."

It's a shame that he's learned very little with what happened in Orlando last year. He should just shut his mouth and play ball.

Dwight Whines to the Media.

Fegan, Rudolph and friends flip out and remind Howard how his attitude affects his reputation, you know money maker.

Next day, Dwight says:

Howard was contrite with reporters afterward, saying he was sorry for demanding more touches two days earlier. The meeting seemed to have affected him.

"It starts with me," he said Wednesday. "I have to be more of a player out there on the court and not worry about anything, not complain. Just do what I do best."

I think we have all heard this all before.

I know, right? I never thought I would be a happy guy at 14-27, but I am...the last couple of years were such a drag.

" Bryant acknowledged he could be "hard to play with," according to the Times, and challenged Howard to speak up if he had a problem with it.

Howard was "despondent" and did not offer much of a reply to Bryant, according to a team source.

One example of the rocky relationship between the two Western Conference All-Star starters, according to a league source, was a game this season when Howard harped to a teammate about the disparity between his and Bryant's shots while sitting on the bench. The teammate called Bryant over so Howard could tell it to Bryant's face, but Howard refused to speak up. "

Howard is such a pansy

I think this is a wonderful opportunity for Howard to return to Orlando and start afresh. The fanbase must be in a forgiving mood.

His apologies are always lip service, never any real meaning behind them. reminds me of his whole im going to be a better hero bull

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.
