Apparently he will not grant any interviews.

He would probably say something stupid so his ppl turned them down.

Reporter: "So Dwight, would you be open to playing for the Lakers?"
Dwight: "LOL yeah."

Steve Nash films fans giving him beer. Howard's handlers freak out when fans try to take pics of him in LA hat.

This guy isn't even living his own life.

The title of that first clip shows how good the NBAs marketing team is. Especially compared to baseball.

Possibly with Lamb and DMo but I'd be willing to bet everyone else is on the table.

Trade 1) Dwight, Q Rich and Duhon for K Martin, Douglass, Lamb, Patterson, White + the 2 picks.

Trade 2) J Rich, BBD, Clark and 2nd rd pick to Minny for Ridnour and Pekovic.

2012 line up,

Nelson/Douglass/Ridnour
Martin/Redick/Lamb
Hedo/Liggins/White
Nicholson/Harper/Patterson
Pekovic/Ayon/O'Quinn

^^^ This team could might win 35-40 games.

With two picks from Houston deal, draft PG Ian Miller and C Nerlens Noel. Trade Nelson, K Martin and Patterson for an upgrade at SF. Cut Hedo. 2013 lineup,

Douglass/Ridnour/I Miller
Redick/Lamb/Liggins
SF from Nelson,Martin trade/White
Nicholson/Harper/O'Quinn
Pekovic/Ayon/Noel

^^^ This team probably 32-35 wins.

Eventual 2014 starting lineup,

PG Ian Miller = Russell Westbrook
SG Jeremy Lamb = Rip Hamilton
SF Royce White = Anthony Mason
PF Andrew Nicholson = Rich man's Brandon Bass
C Nerlins Noel = Marcus Camby

^^^ This team goes on to win championships.

:dontknow:

I don't think it's too far fetched. There are things that need to happen for it to work, possibly a lot of things, but it could happen.

Are you kidding? Most fans would welcome him with open arms.

Well you better welcome him soon after his arrival in Orlando because there is a good chance he spends most of the season on the sidelines using crutches.
