We are witnessing a rare event where a star player leaves LA. We are witnessing a rare event where a star player leaves 30 million and an extra year on the table. We are witnessing a rare event where the hot girl dumps the prom king for the nice guy. Dwight basically just slapped the Lakers with his **** and spat in the Lakers' face. I LOVE YOU DWIGHT HOWARD.
Dwight still needs a dance partner. Milsap to Atlanta, Smith very unlikely now. Who do think will play PF next season?
Stay in LA was never that high for d12. He has problem with D'An. He has problem with Kobe. He has problem with some fans. Even local sports caster predicted he would likely to leave as soon as the season was over. It was only some LA fans still holding hope that 'we are the Lakers and we get whatever we want' attitude.
I was with you until the **** thing... I wonder how this will look for Kobe's legacy. He'll now have been partly responsible for Shaq AND Dwight leaving LA. Did he drive them both away? He definitely didn't like either one of them. They weren't like him. They didn't play the right way, they goofed off too much, they didn't have to work for it like he did. If Dwight Howard is able to play like he did in Orlando and the Rockets win a championship, how will that look for Kobe's legacy? First he pushes Shaq out the door to go win a ring with Wade, then he pushes Dwight out to win with the Rockets. I don't know who is going to want to go play with Kobe next year and stand around watching him shoot 20 shots a game.
