Sources: Dwight Howard is ready to join Lakers. If traded to Los Angeles Howard will re-sign long-term with team after 2012-13 season.

Also known as, Dwight scared straight by the seriousness of Rockets deal. Realizes he can't get to Brooklyn.

1:58 am and he decides this is the perfect time to drop news smh

Sure that guy is dumber than a drunken donkey.
Who can blame him, after all he's a big friend of Dcoward.

How often is an NBA franchise so willing to get rid of one of the top 5 players in the NBA for draft picks, rookies, and cap relief?

Even though he says he will sign long-term with LA, Henny should still trade him to Houston. We don't want Side Show Bob and some crappy picks.

Varejao and picks? Not a funny joke, not at all. :evil:

This is the problem with Rudolph. He went on the air yesterday with a carefully constructed story that blamed the Magic for everything, drove in the fact that Dwight only wanted to play with the Nets, no other team. He didn't want to be the next Shaq. BUT, if there was no way onto the Nets, he'd consider joining the Lakers. He knew yesterday beforehand that Howard was cool with joining the Lakers and was sent out to make it seem like Dwight had no choice in the matter. He made sure to point out that he thought Dwight could run, but not at gamespeed just yet.

There is absolutely no way Henny trades Dwight for Varejao and late 1st rounders. I think we all know that Houston, not Cleveland, will be part of this deal.

Bynum agrees to resign in Houston and this deal is done.

So what do you guys want, the picks from Houston,Cavs or Bynum?

Not often, unless when you have a guy who wanted to be a dick and only go to one team and alienate all other teams. The only reason why he's cool with going to the Lakers is because all of the other options are worse situations for him.

I will be so relived when this crap is over and done with but at the same time, I hope Henny gets the best available deal out there and I'm sure that crap with the Cavaliers is not one of them.

Cleveland have nothing. I don't see why we'd do that deal.

How good is this picture on the article? It's a perfect look for it.

I fail to see why Houston would give the same package for Bynum that they were offering for Dwight. you can't just interchange Dwight going to Houston with Bynum and expect them to cough up the same package.

on the other hand, I don't think the Cleveland deal as currently being discussed is good enough for orlando

If we take Cav's trash and horrible 20-30 First round picks, Rob Henny should be fired immediately. No questions asked.
