Their are no guarantees that any team stupid enough is gonna pay a guy who might not be healthy next year the max money..... even if the Lakers have his rights and can pay more $ and more years.

I'd be okay with a Deng/Noah package if the Bulls feel a foundation of Rose/Howard can put them at EC Elite status.

or something like Howard for Al Jefferon/Hayward/Foye.

a package of Thompson/David Lee/ fillers for Howard seems like a solid trade..

If looking annoyed and disappointed was a sign of leaving kobe has wanted to get traded 20 times a season, you guys aren't professional body language specialists so stop panicking everytime Dwight looks unhappy.

There is more to life than laker basketball and worrying about what Dwight Howard is going to do. "is he going to be healthy!!!!!" "is he going to leave!!!!" "dwight sucks!!!!!!" "trade him for average players!!!!"

If he's here next year, great he'll be healthy and better. If not then oh well, life moves on. But the panicking and bashing in the lakers fanbase right now is just ridiculous and is probably being displayed all over the Internet

Howard doesn't have a no trade clause as far as I know, he has to go wherever he's sent. The issue isn't that, the issue is finding a team wiling to trade good players in order to rent Howard for less than half a season. Only a team that thinks they can keep him would do that, namely Brooklyn, Dallas, Atlanta, Houston.

Yes there is more to life.... but you are on a LAKER BASKETBALL forum. Discussions will be about the Lakers. The Dwight aspect is the biggest story we have going right now.

But thanks for the concern.

again most of these aren't discussions, it's just panicking. discussions imply that they are at least somewhat rational, which isn't what is going on.

did you even watch the BK game to comment bout Brooks being good? he sucks......I like Weezy trade idea, Atl might take that chance, even if he doesn't resign they can start all over anyways.

last stand wrote:utah doesn't trade for howard because howard would more than likely take the 30 million dollar hit to leave utah.

chicago could have traded for howard in the offseason, or made an offer, howard didn't want to go there, for whatever reason or motivation he didn't want to go there.

there are 2 realistic options for dwight. stay in LA or go to Houston. that's it. however one involves leaving 30 million dollars on the table to go play with a maybe good enough james harden and a bunch of oks and not really goods. he's not giving up 30 million to play in a worse situation in dallas, and he's atlanta is probably just as bad a situation consider you either play with josh smith and horford and win nothing or the hawks rebuild but keep in mind, that's the hawks front office.

Thank you for your opinion. We'll continue to share ours as well.

there's opinions and then there's panicking. this is panicking.

Fortunately its not up to you to decide which is which, so we can discuss them all.

sophomore slump. He had a phenominal rookie year. And you insinuating ONE BKN game vs us is a measuring stick of his talent, is disturbing. Watched him plenty last year and some this year. I know what he's capable of.
