Lakers no longer require extension from Dwight Howard

[Shaheen]

Yeah just like Houston didn't require the extension and GSW didn't require the extension. Call me when a team actually gives up its main assets for Dwight without an extension.

Cause till then these rumors just sound stupid. Bynum AND Dwight both have to agree to extensions for these deals to work.

Also, for people who say Dwight can't leave. He can easily go to Dallas and Dallas has enough cap space to sign CP3 or another big FA.

Someone is scared.

I just have more faith in your FO than you do. Mitch is a pretty good GM. Hes not stupid enough to trade for Howard when Howard does not want to play in LA.

Do you guys understand how badly Howard does NOT want to be a Laker? He DOESN'T want to be a Laker so badly he opted into another year of his contract just so he could stay off of LA. He would literally do anything not to go to LA.

Thats why I think its absurd to trade for him unless you get an extension. But if LA wants to do it go ahead.

Lol Shaheen. From whom the most biased and emotional posts come.

If Lakers get Dwight, Wow, so much talent only to flail in the might of Durantula

CP3 isn't going to Dallas, he's staying right in Clipperland. Dwight's only option is Dallas which doesn't look too appealing right now

You don't know that. He could also go to Atlanta. And other teams are going to clear up cap space specifically to get him. You don't realize how valuable he is on the FA market.

And besides the Lakers have a two year window to contend anyway. After two years Kobe and Nash will be done. And Dwight would be wasting his time on a team with no superstars. It seems unappealing for him to resign in LA.

You guys need an extension.

People usually resort to personal attacks when they can't make a good argument. Good tactic bro. Much respect.

[red96]

If its all go for LA and ORL, why isn't Howard dealt already? Does any know what the hold up is?

His back.

He will come to LA and sign the extension, that's all. Kick and scream all you want.

[red96]

What about it? Isn't he suppose to be ok for the start of the season?

How have I attacked? It's common knowledge that your posts are filled with bias. You disregard facts, stats and anything that goes against what you want to be true. So people stop responding to you. I mean how many times has someone utterly ripped apart your posts only for you to skim past them (though you were conversing with them) or disregard the obvious truths within them.

Little does little Shaheen know that nobody cares if Dwight goes to Brooklyn. Most of us will laugh at his stupidity in doing so. That team would be the Heat's whipping post.

[World Peace]

If its all go for LA and ORL, why isn't Howard dealt already? Does any know what the hold up is?

Howard's back. Once it checks out a deal will be made.

2 years being the heavy favorites to win the title vs how long for ATL/ anybody else to build a team around him. You honestly think he's gonna have a better opportunity than this to win a title or two?

[LAKESHOW]

Hell no...sign that extension bitch!

[ShowTimeERA]

This Dwight Howard saga is getting really old. I hope Orlando doesn't trade him and he's forced to play somewhere other than LA and Brooklyn when he becomes a FA.

Of course you would like that. Dwight on the Nets of LA means Miami's road to a title gets much more difficult...

Its common knowledge to you. That doesn't make it a fact. My posts are not bias. I admit obvious things all the time.

You don't have to personally attack me to prove your point. I use sources to prove my point nearly every time I get into an argument about basketball you don't know what you're talking about. No that did not happen. Provide me the link for that or you're just making it up.


Stop demeaning me and stop demeaning the Nets franchise and stay on topic. Its immature and doesn't belong here.

[AdamTheGreek]

Most of us Magic fans want this Bynum deal done. It's all about Dwight playing ball and his back being on track.

Stop being jealous dude. Just like CP3, Dwight won't leave LA -- because it's LA!

[jeff1624]

If this were true they would have traded for Dwight already.

[Shaheen]

Its not all about winning for Dwight. I will be the first to admit that.

He wants to be the face on the franchise. He can't do that in LA and you know that.

[MannyRam99]

How so ? the information was leaked today, prior to that the wanted the extension, as of today (?) they no longer require that.

I expect something to get going in the next couple days.
