    looking at the free agent list for 2014 it will be rare to see any big changes like this last time. sure we will see ppl leaving their respective teams but i doubt many would bolt to Dallas to play with an aging dirk.

    The fact that he wants a third star, clearly is to see if they can do better than the Mavs & Lakers IF he considers Kobe & Dirk still stars.

    This dude is a clown. If he is so confident with his "sources", why is he taking shot after shot at the Rockets? Doesnt make sense.

    Also, going to a bar to watch a rerun? Yeeeeeah right. We go to Jakes to watch that **** LIVE playa.

    Sadly, he's making a fair point. The greedy Comcast bull sh#t that occurred last year has consequences. That can never be allowed to happen again. For shame...and people have a right to use it against us.

    Yea...each post makes him less and less credible and shows his homerism. At least let the meeting happen before you speculate.

    How will the Lakers make the final pitch?

    They've been meeting with Dwight on and off since the season ended. You wonder what's there left to say. Isn't it all beside him? There's no such thing as coming up with something on the fly. I think the pitch most effective to Dwight is "How do you win the fastest?". The man needs to win. The last three years he's been known as a man who doesn't know what he wants to do, can't make up his mind, he destroyed his brand. The man needs to win, the sooner the better. All the teams involved, you wonder if the Lakers give him the best chance to win. That's what the pitch needs to be.

    In regards to that, how do they pitch him this is the fastest place to win with Kobe coming off injury, his attitude or dominating personality, and a coach he doesn't necessarily like?

    Yeah, doesn't sound too good does it? Honestly, you look at it, it's the same pitch since he got here. It's the Lakers. You can't get a bigger stage than what the Lakers provide. This is the franchise of Kareem and Magic and Shaquille and Kobe. If you are a great player, you want to be a part of it. When you win here, there is nothing like it. I think that's the pitch. When you win in LA, you're a legend. I think that will continue to be a pitch. The pitch has to be that he has to transcend all that(Kobe and D'Antoni)

    Does he end up back with the Lakers?

    He sounds like a guy who wants to leave. Everything from people in his camp and people around the league, he wants to leave. Does he have the guts to do it? Is he really going to be the guy who leaves the money on the table, who says no to the Lakers, who turns down the Lakers? It's one thing to date someone else and another thing to get married. There is a part of me that feels he'll stay because it's so hard to leave but it doesn't sound like a guy who wants to be here.

    It was a joke. He has Gasol, Kobe, & Nash right now, and it didn't work out.

    I think it would be a mistake on Howard's part, but Howard's a dreamer.

    Spike up the ratings ESPN! Houston have been the leaders for weeks and now it's LA again even prior to their meeting today? Now they will get more fans interested. Bravo! ;)

    If he chooses LA, he gets to claim his elite insider status, if Dwight chooses Dallas, Broussard does, it's a giant shell game, and the payoff for taking the long shot is huge. Morey would be proud ;)

    He said players go to bars to watch re-runs of themselves.
