    and bynum is not injury-prone? and odom isn't nearly past his prime? i'm sure the magic would rather take wade over that combination.

    I don't understand Dwight's reasoning... In two years the Lakers probably won't be in serious contention... PLus with Kobe hogging the ball he won't get many touches. He needs to go to a team with a great pass first PG. One with CP3, or maybe he'll go to the Thunder to form a young core of him and KEvin Durant.
    Honestly Boston doesn't look like a bad choice either... Rondo to Dwight alley oops all day. R2D12

    True.

    If Heat were offering LeBron, I bet they would easily accept it knowing Dwight will bail.

    Heat absolutely, positively will not entertain the notion of trading Wade or LeBron.....unless LeBron insists on being moved (1 in 100 chance right now)

    Dwight may like the idea of LA...but he won't like the reality. Kobe's closing up shop, Bynum would have to be moved with either Odom or Gasol in any deal, and the incoming cap may make it just as difficult to recruit help there as Orlando.

    If he wants a little superfriends group in a major city, he needs to push for NY, Brooklyn, Chicago, or the Clips. And he may have to wait until FA if that's going to happen.

    If Orlando trades Howard I expect them to get a good package in return. He can't outright sign with LA and the new CBA is supposed to be more restrictive. I think free agents will have less options under the new rules.

    I have him on my Ballers most likely to catch the HIV office pool. That dude has tons of illegitimates and supposedly demands only unprotected sexy time from groupies.

    If he goes LA then I like my chances.

    I'm stunned, stunned, that another superstar wants to play in a glamor city, just stunned.

    You have to be kidding yourself or a Lakers fan to think Magic would want Bynum and Odom over Dwayne Wade.

    He is counting on Kobes legs to hold up a few more years. Its not happening. Dont count on it after he see's Kobe new version 2.0 in the coming years. Besides. You are not getting Dwight Howard without giving up Pau Gasol.

    Ric Butchered has the worse source of anyone in the business. He's resume speaks for themselves and he only does this to gain attention to himself.

    The only time DH would even think about the Lakers if another young super-star go with him.

    The best destination for him if he wants to contend and win multiple championship until he retire is Oklahoma, Miami and Chicago.

    Dallas would be pretty dominant with him as well. Dirk isnt going to decline that quickly. Houston would also be a good fit but I'm not so sure he would turn us into instant contenders.

    Seeing as how the Lakers have had such good luck trading the younger brother for the older brother, I anticipate the Lakers to draft Jahaziel Howard in the 2012 draft to finally get the deal done.

    They're just doing their job as one of L.A.s D-league teams.
