Knicks · The Availability of Dwight Howard? (page 1)

I'm wondering if the Lakers will attempt to move Howard at the deadline or risk him walking for nothing this summer.

Howard getting basically no touches in the offense while Kobe jacks away. Post offense with D'Antoni is non-existent.

I think he'll be okay, but I would not be surprised if he changes teams a few more times over his career

I agree that he would be much happier on a team like New YOrk with woody and a more conventional offense

At the same time, I think Lakers are going to make it work

In all seriousness, does anyone really want a part of this guy? He's a sulking player with a bad back. He's overvalued.

Gimme a team with Howard, Melo, D Williams. Id take that overrated team any day if the week.

Im thinking he is walking too. The question is where to.

Lakers cant afford to lose him for nothing.

Lakers never drop the ball like that, what do you think they are, the Knicks?

I'm sure they'll figure some good solution out.

My guess is MDA was Kobe's childhood hero and with olympic exposure he was very much in the decison making process
For Dwight, I would also figure he was in on the decision.

When you have input and max money and you own a house in malibu, its kind of hard to walk.

MDA had to know from management that making Dwight happy is a priority. My opinion is he also had to sell the plan to Dwight, Kobe, and management.

Is he a walk risk? I don't know who has the cap space and be a place he'd want to go. Dallas seemingly has it but don't see them short term as a viable contender with him.

If any place I thought brooklyn was a top choice by Dwight and you have to figure Bropez is the centerpiece for any deal.

I really don't care what this dude does. Best he stay in LA and be a Shaq poser

I say he walks too- I get the impression he and Kobe hate each other, as expected, and he just does not look particularly pleased to be there. Lakers don't really lose out in the sense that Bynum wouldn't have played this season if they'd kept him, and would have walked as a FA too.

I think, maybe Dwight goes to Atlanta (lots of 3 pt shooters, his friend J Smith, and a LOT less media scrutiny), especially if they finish with a good record. Maybe Dallas.

I would probably cry if we ever traded for Dwight- can't stand him at all, even putting aside last seasons antics. Plus his back is a big concern too (to give him credit I'm suprised he's playing so soon and is as productive as he has been so far).

Have to touch the ball to get shots.

Howard in Orlando was all smiles. Howard in LA looks lethargic.

I think he wants the "smiles" back, I think he is walking

AnubisADL wrote:Lol at Kobe agreeing the Flagrant foul was warranted. Thx for backing your teammate.

Kobe said that in a way to take little snips at Howard because Howard made a silly flagrant that cost the team a big man in the paint. Kobe's got a way with words to where he's talking crap about you without actually talking crap.

I agree with Kobe and the Flagrant 2. Who the hell blocks by extending their arms outward into someone's face instead of upward toward you know, where the ball was?
