Lakers Celtics Talk Howard-Rondo Trade

[iamworthy]

He's having an average year. I think everyone with a brain acknowledges that the guy is not healthy. But at least he is giving the lakers 16 and almost 12rbs (leading the league in rebounding). Those are almost some people's career high numbers . Lakers are not about to give the the guy 100+ million because the guy is average . If he gets traded its because he was pushing lakers behind close doors, but I think he will be here.

Injuries have nothing to do with his hard hands & no offense other than lobs & dunks. Offensively he's below average period.

Guys are calling for him to get the ball when he gets consistently stripped & doesn't make free throws plus he's a cancer. I'll keep saying this to the end, when we had a Center that could dominate the low post & was wonderful on the block no one wanted him with the ball. Now that we have Kwame Jr. Everyone wants him with touches. Mind boggling!

Whew!! I sure am glad that we got rid of the dominate low post center we had and got the Offensively below average one...period. Sounds like Laker Management has everyone right where they want them.

In all seriousness, from your point of view, Whats the thinking from Laker Management giving up a dominate low post scorer ( as you say) to go to a below average one. Not only that but make him the franchise player? After all, the decision was made after D12 had Back Surgery and before Bynums knee issues was known. Throwing the house at a guy coming off of Back Surgery is a huge risk right? Why not just stay with Bynum.

AB's always been on dat der Bynum time and it'll remain that way until his soul is taken to Davy Jones' locker. It's been almost a year since Bynum's played a minute of basketball, Bynum's not even on that Bynum time.

Lakers also get a draft pick. I like it for all teams. Wallace is an athlete that can defend the Lebron's/Durant's better than MWP + he could run the floor with Rondo next year. Nash/Blake can hold down the fort @ PG until Rondo is ready. This team needs Rondo to push Kobe out of the driver's seat. and no it isn't the same as adding Nash... Rondo can actually penetrate at will and turn the corner on the pick/roll far more consistently than Nash. Nash could back Rondo up and also play some 2-guard. Humphries is needed to make the money work, but he can step in @ center right now for them. so we downgrade @ center for the moment, until Pau is back, and we upgrade @ SF for this season ( which is probably over anyway). but then we upgrade @ PG for next year. and then hopefully a Gasol/Love deal happens in Pau's expiring year next year. if not, Gasol fits D'antoni's system better than Dwight does anyway.

c- Gasol, Hill, Sacre
pf- Clark, Jamison, Humphries
sf- Wallace, Raja Bell
sg- Kobe, Meeks
pg- Rondo, Nash, Blake

Nash running the 2nd unit is pretty nice

You guys can spin it however you want. As of now Howard is a bust. I'm not bringing up Drew in the sense that he should still be here, I'm bringing him up in the sense that he was dominant on the post Unlike Kwame Jr.

You guys have been on that Dwight time since before he even got here. Now all I keep hearing is he's injured. How is that going to help his hands or his mental fortitude? That's why the only thing you can run to is Drew hasn't played yet.

Putting it straight, Dwight was the only Center I would have traded Bynum for but now that he's here he's a big disappointment for me on & off the court. Yes he's playing & that's more than what we can say for Mr half braids but if you guys can't see Dwight is far below Bynum on the offensive side & that Drew is a smarter player, its simply because you don't want to.

I'm not by myself on this issue. Half the board is already calling for your so called saviour of the franchise to be traded.

What does any of this have to do with what I said?
