The lakers are a bully franchise!! And it not because they are the lakers that they get away with it, it's that first part of their name that's powerful( los angeles) I'm tired of hearing from the media how great the lakers are and how much history they have there because they are such a great franchise. They are a NBA team like any other NBA team. They are just located it in a nice spot that enjoys entertainment( surprise surprise) so player relocate. and let me say this, cuz I know there will be a smarta$$...... Yes the clippers live there too, and their franchise has not been as successful. But let's be honest, they are what's "uncool" in la( they don't have as many top celebs going and caring about them) they should be the team that goes to Seattle ( that's another topic) They have bully tactics...... Saying nobody stands a chance to to get a player that they also want, basically. And if that player did decide to go somewhere else then that player is just a "loser" and they will have the support from the media about what they think sadly( ESPN) For ex. If Howard were to walk away because he wanted to( because he obviously sees the lakers have nothing going for them right now) it would be, HOWARD COULDN'T CUT IT, Running away, lets try to make everyone hate Howard for not staying with the most RESPECTED franchise's in the NBA. when in reality, Howard is a free agent that was only there for a year, in a Sign and trade. Howard owes LA nothing...... All they did was criticize him the entire time. I don't know what Dwight Howard is thinking( like everybody else) but if he chooses to stay with LA, because he sees a great future with them. Then so be it..... Time will tell if he was bullied into it or not. But if he is his own man and walks away from the bullies knowing that he will be ridiculed..... Regardless of where he goes.... He deserves respect.
Just had an opinion.... and started writing. I guess I just don't see how people are not over the lakers and their crap.
I agree that the Clippers should move to Seattle. L.A is a Laker city, who cares about the Clippers. I don't understand why is there even another basketball team there. I hope the Seattle group finds a way to buy the Clippers.
