So if Dwight is playing does the speculation start that it might be because of Kobe's pushing? If that's the case do we thank Kobe now for being a "jerk" of a leader?

You see all the tough former players/old school players, old media guys that have been around since the days of tough NBA men all saying Kobe as a leader is allowed to tell Dwight if he can play he needs to play. You only see the younger people saying "that's not cool man, what about Dwight's feelings". Kobe knows what it takes to win, sacrifice, he needed finger surgery, didn't get it, he needed wrist surgery, didn't get it. He hurt his shoulder one season pretty bad, kept playing. he sprained his ankle in the Finals vs Indiana really bad, played the rest of the series. So he said what he said from experience, doesn't mean anyone has to like it, and I still don't think he was wrong.

mcten: D'Antoni says he still doesn't know if Dwight is playing. Howard is getting changed and still won't tell us whether he's playing

I'm not quite sure Dwight knew just how tough Kobe could be. I'm pretty sure Team USA teammate Kobe and Lakers leader Kobe are a lot different.

Dwight to Sacramento for DeMarcus Cousins, Tyreke Evans, Francisco Garcia.

We get a very good big who could be great and two solid role players. Dwight gets to go some place where winning is a luxury, not an expectation. He can even be the face of a "new franchise" in Seattle.

Then next year we trade Pau's expiring for two-three more pieces. Complete overhaul in one year's time.

So you think dwight is mentally weak. OK. I can live with that. What I don't understand is why would you then trade him for the most unstable big man in the NBA?

Please explain.
