    So what is the Lakers starting 5 if this happens?

    Fish
    Kobe
    World Peace
    4?(Barnes,McRoberts,Murphy)
    Howard

    Not that scary.

    Losing Odom, Gasol, and Bynum for Dwight Howard? :confused:

    Not sure if this makes them better.

    I think as crazy as it might sound
    Howard would be better situated in Jersey. They have Deron Williams who is still young, an upcoming small version of Kobe, with the real one declining fast......
    Fisher is being the starting PG in a decade, as much as I value him as the Union's president, he is not starting material.

    Lakers would be smart to give up on this season and let the Magic have both Pau & Bynum for Howard.

    The current Lakers squad is not going to win any championship.

    They are not going to win a championship this year even if they trade for Howard.

    However, they will have a great piece to rebuild around in next couple of years.

    This trade is for the future, not for this season.

    I like the Nets to make some noise in the East with Dwight.

    If it does go down 1000x easier. They will be exposed as the overrated players they are.

    According to Jalen Rose, Dwight was telling his friends last week that he was going to Jersey but then the deal didn't go through.

    I hope it's true. This means the Mavs have less of a chance to get Dwight or Deron next year. They let go of Tyson "Nash v2.0" Chandler for nothing.

    I agree, and I'm sure that AK47 would want to play for that team as well.
    Williams/ Farmar
    Morrow/ Brooks
    AK47/ Sh. Williams
    (Whoever they can get as a pf)
    D12/ Petro

    If they can get a solid pf somehow, they're a playoff team at least.
