I always thought the only way they would have blown Howard away was if D'Antoni resigned and Kobe told him he would give up the reigns. Neither happened form what I've heard. So The Lakers did NOTHING to impress Dwight. They just reminded him "It's Los Angeles, It's the Lakers". Very arrogant.
I love comments like this. If he stays, he's the guy to lead them to a title. If he goes, it's because he couldn't handle the pressure. Nope, not trying to rationalize at all.
What a tool. So are you saying guys like Nick Van Exel, Vlade, and Eddie Jones didn't have what it takes to be a Laker? This is and will be their excuse even when we end up winning a championship with Dwight. They'll still be butt-hurt and we'll be celebrating.
It's funny that all the LA media is trying to goad Howard into staying by saying he'll be the man and a a legend if he can win in LA, but then say LeBron and other greats will show up to win rings for you if you stay. He's star bait and nothing else to them.
What was "here" for him in LA? Old ******* teammates? Living in the past?? If you live in the past (Lakers) you are depressed. If you live in the future (Mavs) you are anxious. Rockets are the best situation for the present reality no matter how much of a homer you are.
I agree man. It's getting annoying. This dude aint gonna wait till 30 years old to take over the franchise. Hope this **** ends very soon. If he comes, amazing! If he doesn't...Bynum can be had for a good deal and Josh Smith can still come and were still instant contenders pending on Bynums health.
Houston fans will be much the same. If Dwight stays in LA, Houston fans will say that we don't want him anyway because he cares more about Hollywood than winning.
I have seen this gif maybe 10 times in the past 2 minutes... just now noticed Aaron haha too good :grin:
