    You guys are trying too hard to read between the lines. Palmer said "resign" with the Lakers...

    resign: To give up (a position, for example), especially by formal notification.

    I am pretty sure that by tomorrow afternoon most reporters will start to converge to the final decision...

    Broussard - Very unlikely Howard resigns with L.A.
    Palmer - Very unlikely Howard doesn't resign with L.A.

    Marc Stein:

    Latest on these teams pitches?

    These pitches are like athlete surgeries. The next time we hear it goes badly will be the first time. The Hawks know it's remote. Atlanta's only hope was Paul and Howard together. Golden State, same thing. They're just happy to be in the conversation. They'd have to do a sign and trade. Today are two teams who can win the Dwight sweepstakes. The Mavs are behind the Rockets with the Lakers running third.

    Also, where is Stephen A. Smith? Why havent we heard anything from him? He has very credible sources. He's usually right about these type of things.

    This has pretty much been a creeping fear of mine through all this.

    It's not gonna be so easy. Great weather, celebrities, the weight of Lakers nation bearing down on him, not to mention his agent's less-than-subtle machinations (we're probably at best third on Fegan's wish-list [among teams vying for DH12], and if not for his client Parsons, who he probably wants in another uniform anyway, we'd be fourth).

    DH12 really seems to go for the wowee! factor in all this. If he leaves Lakers Nation, he'd be persona non grata there in the off-season.

    If he reeeeeeeeeeeeally wants to win, as he says, we all know he'd come here. If he stays with the Lakers, it's because he couldn't say no the glamour factor and because they'll sell him on "a year from now, with cap room, free agents will be coming to us".

    I hope he has the guts to leave. No one of his caliber---NO ONE---has ever left that g.d. team. Hell, they even lured Steve Nash, and he HATED the Lakers.

    I do have some optimism, it's just that, for example, I've seen "frontrunners" fall by the wayside. Everyone else thinks we're front-runners. What does DWIGHT think?
    If you get'em drunk enough, yes.

    Ok, now unless I am wrong again, I thought this had been cleared up once and for all - Lin will only be a cap hit of 8mil for any team he plays for, not just us.. isn't that correct?

    If so, then why are supposedly 'in the know' people like Broussard so painfully unaware of an actual IMPORTANT detail like this??

    His cap hit is $8.3MM but they actual cash payout is $15MM, which is pretty steep.

    Dwight's mind is UNSTABLE.

    If we lose D12, which I don't care, we could get Josh Smith and maybe offer Andrew Bynum a 1 or 2 year deal to play here?
