    Naturally having Kobe is going to lead to that, points wise. There have always been questions, however, about his desire. There's just something about him that bothers me. I just don't see him being the center piece (no pun intended) of a team.

    The injury risk for both, IMO, is about equal. Given a choice to freely pick one or the other, though, I'm going with Howard.

    If they offer Griffin/Jordan to the Magic...i really hope the Clippers go back to being completely irrelevant for the next 50 years...Griffin just signed an extension...

    Not when you're playing next to Gasol.

    Also, how have the Clippers not jumped at the idea of getting Dwight. CP3 and Dwight all day!

    Because their management is stupid and they can't think long-term. They need Stern to work out the best deals for them.

    This will probably get me shot by a certain group, but comparing the same ages, Bynum compares pretty favorably with Yao (on the court only, obviously). And even the last few years, his usage rate is lower than Yao's ever was.

    He may not be Howard, but it doesn't matter. He is good enough to be the seed piece you start to build around.

    it's the safe move if he is willing to extend...and it should cost you less assets than landing Dwight direct

    Only reason I want Howard without an extension is to trade him to Lakers for Bynam with an extension at the trade deadline.

    I'm tired of hearing bout this Howard b-s. all this because he doesn't want to be in Orlando. Trade him to wherever your best team has the best pieces for ur team. He can't go to the nets anyways when he becomes a free agent. The nets won't have the money. And I'm sure as heck he won't take a pay cut. So trade him to the best team and that is the lakers and the rockets. The rockets having the better offer. But we don't want Howard to begin with. He won't even play for us. He will make excuses that his back hurts. So we trade for him then we trade him right to the lakers for Bynum and will be happy......the end

    I'm scared this guy is going to be TMac all over again. Hope we don't give up any of our young guys with star potential fir him.
