Twitter has "top News" for Dwight howard right now. I know this is changing every minute, but I need to know asap if Dwight is coming here or not. I need to actually get some work done tomorrow. http://www.thescore.com/nba/articles/1226048-report-howard-expected-to-re-sign-with-lakers
This is a very good, and perceptive post. If D12 wants to improve his brand, he does not want to be associated with a team who is not even close to competiting with its town rival, the Clippers. Clippers are the cool, Lakers are not.
That will probably piss off Dwight. Imagine a bevy of celebs telling him to "Stay". Maybe some will say "Sit". "Roll". Poor Dwight.
Lakers: "We've been working on this presentation for dozens and dozens of hours over the course of weeks," said a team source. "We prepared for it in depth." Rockets: We have been preparing for 3 years...
Now is not the time to be a Laker. Disaster last season. Team is old. Clippers are better, and the gap seems to be widening. MDA, Kobe and Nash are stuck there. Of course they want someone to help keep the life raft afloat. Howard never seemed high on going to LA after Kobe "recruited" him before the start of last year. Now is his chance to leave the Titanic before it starts to tip over completely.
Thanks for the nice words, too. I didn't mention that in my other post and cant edit it to include it.
While you are right it's something to talk about. It's not like anything could happen from now until his decision except stuff like this.
