So what is the Lakers starting 5 if this happens? Fish Kobe World Peace 4?(Barnes,McRoberts,Murphy) Howard Not that scary.
Rotoworld FAIL? That's what Rotoworld says, but it links to an article where it got the info. That article says to New Jersey tomorrow: http://www.lakersnation.com/lakers-radio-host-predicts-dwight-howard-to-nets-tuesday/2011/12/19/
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.
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.
Pretty crazy, of the leagues biggest stars you would have 3 in L.A., 4 in NYC, 2 in MIA, 1 in CHI and 1 in OKC
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.
