Woj: Rockets "frontrunners" for Dwight Howard, Lakers "desperate" to keep him

Ron Artest followed Kobe into the shower after he took a dump in the Staples Center in game 7. He didn't need convincing. Also, do you think Barnes and Nash had all of these great options when they came over?

 

Yeah Barnes and Nash were trying to avoid the fire sales in Orlando and Phoenix.....they would've gone almost anywhere.

Wasn't the plan to dump Pau if the Lakers keep Howard? (for LT reasons).

 

Anyone? We need to do whatever we can to help as fans. Maybe A pic of lobe as the owner yelling commands at Dwight photoshopped as the dog

 

BEEF !!!

 

It was well known that the Knicks and Raptors were fighting over Nash. Toronto even went as far as signing Landry Fields to that ridiculous contract to **** block the Knicks. Nash even said so himself that Kobe was the one who convinced him to join the Lakers.

Alex kennedy is SO LATE, i would probably see the news he tweets after the Rockets.com posts something

College type atmosphere? Dafuq is he talking about?

 

I guess he's saying the team is full of young guys who enjoy being around each other. Definitely not the crowd lol

 

I think just the more loose fun relaxed camaraderie you could see among Harden, Lin, and Parsons. The NBA is a business and it's a job where there is pressure to perform and get paid but the Rockets always seemed to be having fun along with it. Likely a total change from the Kibe death stare environment.

 

He sure is.

 

Too soon.

 

Laker fans do it differently :grin:

Ahh I love these days.

 

Only way I see it Bryant is admitting he will be half a cripple after coming back and won't be able to take 20+ shots any longer.
Therefore it is only understandable that Howard is the No.1 shot taker.
They pitch that Gasol will be gone, no one will be there to take shots.
