By the way, the Lakers are now saying they don't intend to trade Bynum or Gasol now that Nash is on the roster. Where to next Howard?

Stephen A. Smith: "Well, Dwight Howard ya see. He wants to go to Brooklyn. He doesn't want to be in Orlando, he certainly doesn't want to go to the Houston Rockets, and he doesn't want to go to the Lakers. He wants to be with Deron Williams in Brooklyn. If he wanted to be in Houston, they would have traded him there at the deadline last season, but Dwight opted in to his contract so he wouldn't have to go the Rockets, because he wants to be in Brooklyn."

they also said they wouldn't be making any big moves this offseason

i dont think theyre out of it for howard until he is actually gone, it just makes too much sense for both teams

Yes. That would be great, or the D-Diva Howard situation to be resolved.

Here's to hoping we score a wing player that can get to the basket on his own.

I wouldn't really call Nash a big move. They had a TPE to use and they used it. It hardly had any moving pieces. Just a opportunity that the Lakers nailed as usual. If our management ever did something like that, I would probably slap myself in the face a few times because obviously I would be dreaming.

All I heard was "I'm a Brooklyn homer"

OP you missed a perfect opportunity to use a picture of Otis Smith for thread 32.

Yet, if he opted out he could have been in Brooklyn. He is trying to say Dwight knew they would trade for JJohnson and wanted to force his way into a so called "big3"? Or was that a joke?
