This is hard for me to say, but if I'm Dwight, I'm going to LA.

BTW, what did Stern do to the Rockets to give up everything they've got for Gasol + helping the Lakers get another dynasty?

Did he threaten to nuke the city of Houston?

Yep, we're all thinking it... and it will have to be done via S&T probably with a third team... but you know what

F THE LAKERS, F LA, F THOSE SPOILED BRATS... Let Dwight Walk... and see if they can sign him out right...

We gotta hope there is some pride in Dwight that still wants revenge on LA for that finals loss.

Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

I got news for you. There was this guy who is a new signee to RealGM that I have been arguing with on the Heat forum for two days.

He is a heat fan, but said it from the beginning that Chris Paul and Dwight Howard will be Lakers.

He said he will reveal his identity, but knows from true sources that this will happen.

He said Dwight will join the Lakers as a Free Agent next offseason.

Well, a bunch of us gave him hell the whole time and I was pretty brutal on the guy. He didn't rub it in that bad just now, but said just wait and see.

Now, Chris Paul is a Laker and they still have Bynum available to trade for Dwight or can get Dwight as a Free Agent next summer.

Want to knkow why. Because, they will be at around $65 salary next offseason and could Amnesty Pau Gasol to get to $45 million and Give Dwight a Max Contract.

Everything this guy said since signing a few days ago came true.

Plus, Dwight is still not saying if he will stay or go.

If this does happen as this guy says, I truly will hate the NBA and never watch or discuss this game again.


How can the Lakers use the amnesty on Pau, he's being traded.

So basically, if Dwight doesn't stay..he will be a Laker regardless. He WILL be traded for Bynum.

Great... put a gun to my head lol... Orlando is going to have to deal with that devil of a franchise... the same team that stole Shaq from us when he walked... I don't even want assets back for Howard... let him walk... let's just rebuild through draft, clearing cap, and FA


F the Lakers.. :nonono:
