It's Chris Broussard (cue sources meme) so take it for what it's worth but he just said on Mike and Mike that he's been told that Howard is very unlikely to resign with the Lakers. The main reasoning was that he doesn't want to play in D'Antoni's system. If it was anyone with a little more credibility, I would have started a new thread.
I agree with this. This or the griffin trade to LA are my two biggest concerns. I Thi I this mornings leak is designed to force LA's hand.
Ahem... http://www.lakersnation.com/lakers-...lanning-to-take-a-pay-cut-in-2014/2013/07/10/ Will they offer it to him? Probably not. But he doesn't seem like he'll be backing down from getting "as much as I possibly can." Writing's on the wall, one of the reasons Dwight left. People underestimate Kobe's ego.
