Howard Thread III (Howard ready to join Lakers p.68)

[Michael Lucky]

Howard won't expand his list of teams, he's going to be whining about wanting to be a Net even after he's traded

I doubt that, it seems he'll have to expand his list or be stuck in mediocrity another year

PREMADONNA? haha!

I believe we should really think about moving Bynum for needed positions to be filled.
Dwight over bynum upgrade is not too much of anything more and more I look at it, but with today's nba, Pau and a Jordan Hill can be good enough for the center spot. I just think we can kill 2 or 3 birds with one Bynum and it will definitely make us true contenders. A Dwight over Bynum is more hype than anything and the promises of a free ticket to the Finals becaus of Dwight is a jinx and an overrated notion because we'll still have holes in the roster.

The harsh reality is starting to set in for him now.

[Kilroy]

The only thing is, we aren't going to play that game for ever. We have to fill out our roster and settle with our UFAs etc...

We also don't want to leave Bynum hanging all summer... So I don't expect us to be engaging Orlando very much longer.

He is and it is inevitable

[Air Poohdini]

Well you do have the younger, taller, and more accomplished center as far as championship experience is concerned. Maybe a little hard headed but he should eventually grow out of it.

could see this, but if the Magic calls Mitch, "Do you want Howard for Bynum?" then Mitch would. Just not invested in the pushing for the deal.

What are you expecting us to do exactly? It's not like we have a plethora of moves to do.

Probably more invested in upgrading the bench without the focus to make the deal to happen with the Magic while the deal for Howard will always be on the table.

Re-sign Jordan Hill, sign Grant Hill, sign Jodie Meeks, and maybe sign one more vet min shooter? Is that it?

I don't see that taking us out of discussions, it's not like we're vying for the signature of a top free agent.

We have to resign Sessions...

[Jetset]

Get out Kilroy. Just. Get. Out.

What will take us out of discussions is that at some point our offer will be as good as we're willing to make it. It'll have a limited shelf life... So sooner or later, if a deal isn't done, there will be nothing left to talk about.

We also have Nash coming in which may complete change the dynamic of our team and as time goes on, we're going to need to come together with the talent we have and start focusing on that transition.

I honestly don't think it'll get that far though, because once Lopez signs, and the Nets are truly off the table... And if Dwight does revise his list and we're on it... There's no way either he or Orlando let a 2nd deal slip away...

[Stebo_SSK]

Get out Kilroy. Just. Get. Out.

Whats ur issue with Sessions? He would probably be alot more productive off the bench.

[Jetset]

Trade Sabathia to me first before you get out though.

[Levity]

eventually, houston is gonna need a pg. unless they want to take brooks back from phx, would lakers able to do a s/t with sessions and maybe get parsons (kobe praised his defense, he can hit the 3, and he crashes the boards) back from HOU? or can ray ray just sign with HOU straight up since hes an UFA?

[inkyonroad]

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine
Just going up online: Mavs on verge of signing All-Star center Chris Kaman. Deal should be finalized later Wednesday

Potential Howard to Dallas is now doubtful

The constant overrating of Sessions that was done by the people of this has thrown me off on him forever. I never thought much of the guy to begin with, but seeing "the big 4" talk and everything else that happened for a handful of months has made me into what I am. Then when I called him average and downplayed any notion that he was anything but, about 80% of the board took exception and started trying to come at me bro.

But I see the fascination has cooled down since his playoff blunder, but it's too late.
