What's new

Dwight Howard would resign with the Lakers

It would be fitting if the Lakers blew their top shelf young player on a Dwight rental that turned into a half season of back injury plagued crybabying. Dwight leaves, Nash retires, Kobe complains, and the L's fade in to 5+ years of obscurity.

This would be beautiful... I am repping you for giving me hope.
 
Let's not act like this is already done.

Here's what's happening, IMO. Right now, the Magic are pissed that once again, they pretty much HAVE TO trade the best center in the league to the Lakers. So what they are telling LA, is if this is really going to happen yet again, we are going to expect some make-up compensation for the Shaq trade. We got abused the last time around, so this time, if you wanna play you gotta pay. It seems pretty ridiculous, actually beyond ridiculous, the way this thing is dragging out, but when it comes to the Lakers, I'm kinda glad they're playing hardball.

At this point, I don't think Orlando is even going to be that rational about it. They're still so sore over Shaq, I actually think they'll risk losing value by trading him elsewhere, if LA isn't willing to pay a heavy price.
 
I'm not sure why Orlando would want Bynum who I doubt would re-sign over say Brook Lopez (signed, though overpaid), maybe Humphries, Brooks and three 1st rounders (which we'll be around 23 rather than 30 if the trade is with L.A.)...whatever...
