Lakers need to slow the ball down and run it inside out. Heck, if we get lucky and have some success with it, maybe MDA will quit.

I'm confused what you mean by this part in bold. The only game Shaq had was inside and it made him a HOFer.

Did I misunderstand?

MDA is not getting fired is your opinion.
IMO, Dwight is not gonna get traded in this season so there will be no wishful thinking for you also.

Breaking news; All of this is our opinions, so thank you for that.

I dont think Dwight will get traded either, so not sure what you mean? The discussion is on if he is a leader or not.

"The discussion is on if he is a leader or not."
What?
I was stating the thought of trading Dwight is disgusting and you quoted me for it. I wasn't even talking to you. Move on, sir.

Dwight: Lakers' Turnaround 'Starts With Me'

Dwight Howard took accountability for his role in the Los Angeles Lakers' struggles on Wednesday.

"I think this will be the start of a new season tonight," said Howard. "Our effort and energy will be better. It starts with me."

The Lakers play at the Memphis Grizzlies and have lost three straight.

Howard also apologized for his comments about his lack of shot attempts.

Howard said he needs to be "more of a player out there on the court and not worry about anything, not complain."

I was actually quoting 432J and responding to his post. YOU said he was the future and I disagreed.

Its all just a page back for you to review.

I want them to quit talking about what they're going to do and just do it. Stop yacking and start cracking. That includes D12, Kobe, D'Antoni (who first started the "new season" crap), Pau, and the rest of them outside of Earl Clark.

We could even lose games for less money.

Dwight on complaining about his 5 shot attempts vs. Chicago: "I shouldn't have done that. That was immature"

Dave McMenamin ‏@mcten

Dwight on his changed mindset: "For me it's not about scoring. It's about dominating. That's more than scoring"

Mike Bresnahan ‏@Mike_Bresnahan

Dwight Howard apologizes, says he needs to be "more of a player out there on the court and not worry about anything, not complain." #Lakers

ZenMaster4President wrote:Ah... the difference in offensive games of Bynum and Dwight...

I know one is not playing... just saying that there were people who claimed that the difference is not that big and the difference on defense more than makes up for it.

I think those people has been proven wrong.

As were those that were pointing at "attitude problems" as part of Bynum's baggage. Well, Dwight has got them in spades as well.

IF Andrew was still playing, we'd be loosing the trade badly. And even with that - the fact that Dwight might bolt and this season may be over... we may still eventually come up as the biggest losers.

Shaq was right. Dwight is no superman.

"Obviously, this isn't working," Lakers star Kobe Bryant told Yahoo! Sports after the Chicago loss.

"I've tried to go out of my way to get (Howard) the ball. Sometimes I end up looking like an idiot, because I get up in the air, I've got a shot, but I try to find him. But he thinks I'm going to shoot, so his back is turned. I'm trying to think about getting him the ball a lot -- take care of him as much as I possibly can. It takes me out of rhythm a little bit, but I'm fine with that. If that's going to help our team, I'm more than willing to do that.

Now if Pau and the bench could start their season, greatness will kiss us all.
