You obviously haven't been around long. Every single time somebody claims to have any inside info, haters come crawling out of the woodwork! People seem to take offense that there are people priveledged to an inside scoop. Sometimes the information proves to be true, sometimes it proves to be false. If it proves to be true, very few people apologize but the next time that poster speaks people don't bash him AS hard. If the info doesn't pan out, he gets it all the worse next time. Nevermind that more trades fall apart than go through.
I know how it works. He could actually be having a real source, but the trade just didn't go through. I understand that, I just find it skeptical that he tries to get the haters off of him without a 1st chance.
8,000 actually! I hope this is true, but I hope we get back somethign that will fill the ever so small gap that Howard would leave us...
I'm saying that it happens every single time anybody claims to have inside info, so it makes perfect sense that somebody who has been a member of this board since 2003 would know that and be afraid he's about to get reemed. Incidentally, they shot the messenger.
I tried to register on LakersGround but it won't let me. Anyway, I'm wondering if there are any double posters between here and there forum? They probably wouldn't be using the same handle but I can't but feel very skeptical about all of this.
Yes this trade will happen unless something bizarre happens and thats not gonna be the case. since my source is unavailable at this time i can not speculate whos in the trade because i only give details when there given i'm not the kind of person who speculates.
i dont know, sorry lakerspride i dont think its true, if it happens then i will be the first to apologize, promise, but i highly doubt it
I hope to god this happens, and at this point, not even because I want to see Juwan Howard gone! I just want to see everybody who needlessly bashed this guy eat their words. A bit of skepticism is fine but I see absolutely nothing to gain from shooting down possible insiders before they even have a chance to prove their reliability one way or the other.
well i sure hope your source is right. dumping howard's contract for mihm + cook/walton is not too bad at all. Hopefully we can then use our TE or MLE to bring in another PF. Best case senario is if we can find a PF for the TE and then use the MLE (or most of it) on V-span. lets cross our fingers and hope this is true. thanks for the info and scoop LP.
Why would I know or care about this guy's reputation? I have no interest in looking at that website nor do I know anyone by name there. Again, I'm just in awe that another team would be willing to take on JHo's albatross of a contract (and hopefully not giving us the same in return).
I hope the Laker in return is not Mihm. I'd rather have Juwan Howard on the Rockets than Chris Mihm. Mihm is just garbage. The ONLY reason teams want to stay away from Howard is his lengthy, expensive contract. It would be nice to unload the contract, but Juwan Howard is a nice player to have as far as spreading the floor and a very important second post up option. Anything from the Lakers NOT involving Kobe or Odom is not worth Juwan Howard in my opinion. Maybe Phil Jackson...j/k
I think Devean George might be invovled in this trade. Also I would only like this trade if rockets get a big man in return. There is not source yet so we cant be 90% sure its true but it also might be you never know. Thank you for the new Lakerspride very much appreciate it. I hope you can get more and more information about this trade. If the rockets can devean george and sum1 big from them this would be quit intresting. I also think that there will be trading picks involved in this thread. it will be a 2 for 1 deal in my opinion. And reading one post about Luther head getting traded. I hope not that will only make our 2 guard position weaker and weaker. Isn't devean george a small forward?
this trade doesn't make any sense to me in that we lose a pf and left with hayes as our primary pf.... the only thing i can think of is we have a plan with this trade in mind to follow up with a SnT of Gooden for our TE this would help solidify our pf
