Lakers imploding with Howard?

Howard for Bosh - Who says no?

Im a Bulls supporter tool, just don't like your narrow minded, hate kobe, no knowledge of basketball apart from box scores bullshit comments all of the time.
Now back under your little bridge troll.

ingles I grew up watching Kobe, Malone, Barkley, Duncan, Jordan Kareem etc live I don't need youtube dickhead.

We will just wait until you grow up.

Thank fuck school is back next week...

Getting back to Dwight, the Lakers can't trade him now, his value, along with Pau's, is at its lowest and you never trade at low points, you get hosed.
They will be patient and see out this year.

I really think Josh smith is the perfect fit for this team.

Mick, the commentators on ESPN said a few days ago that D'Antoni doesn't have the team to suit him. So, until D'Antoni gets the kind of team he wants, he'll get poor results.

He failed with the Knicks and he's failing here.

If he's not a coach who can handle a variety of players, and if he can't get them to evolve to play his way, then I don't rate him as a 'good' coach.

Phil Jackson = GOOD!! Popovich = good. D'Antoni = poor.

Much as I hate the Lakers, I hate to see them looking so embarassing. It's not good for the game.

The Lakers must have hated playing against Howard, but playing alongside him is much worse. They've lost more with him than without him.

He doesn't fit in, and D'Antoni isn't the guy to make it happen.

Trade him!

To succeed with Kobe, they should trade Howard for very good role players. Nash & Gasol are the right personalities to support Kobe's ego, and trading Howard to bring in high IQ/low usage players makes this team dangerous again.

Kobe as alpha dog, Nash & Gasol as 2nd/3rd options then a team of guys who are great spot up shooters/passers/hustle guys makes this team a contender.

The Kobe/Shaq feud was deliberately orchestrated by both of them needling each other in the media. Promoting Jackson to exit, which Bryant later regretted.

This fiasco is because Management thought sticking together some great players makes a team. No D'Antoni isn't a leader who can direct them.

Howard wants to win without the pressure of expectation. he's still got time whereas Kobe knows his is running out.

The way I see it, Kobe wins. He's been the franchise player in LA for many years, like him or not.

No one gets a free ride to a title - and Dwight doesn't seem to fit the "win or die trying" attitude that won the Lakers so many rings.

Howard has suddenly turned into a Drama Queen over the span of 2-3 seasons.

I don't think he realises that because he was a centrepiece at one team, doesn't mean he's cemented in that role everywhere he goes.

His head is well and truly set up his rear right now.

Bring Howard to the NBL, he would win a championship here with any team who gets him, even Cairns.
