    Big/Small Line-up:

    PG: Lin
    SG: Beverley
    SF: Harden
    PF: Howard
    C: Asik

    Play the same game we have been but with Bev crashing the boards less and either Howard or Asik starting the break.

    He could have punched me in the balls on the way out of the arena and I would still want him on this team.

    All DeeWhite Howard needs is a real coach to put him in his place.
    Ya dig? McHale is that coach.
    Harden/Howard = WCF at least.

    My sentiments exactly.

    I wonder what kind of PF we can recruit alongside Dwight, once we get him.

    I really believe that Dwight just needs to be in the right place to settle down. Bring him here, give him a fat contract and let him know he's here long term. If he can't run then he'll have to fight.

    Honestly a Asik-Howard-Parsons front court SOLVES a lot of problems for us

    dont forget andrew bynum is also on the market. i myself like andrew bynum a lot more than dwight howard. i mean, howard is great if his team is filled with snipers(something lakers dont have) if u think about it, any decent center looks great if their team is filled with snipers.

    If Dwight wants to come here you take him period end of discussion .No matter what he wants you get it for him . Even if he wants breast milk from a Cambodian immigrant u get it for him :grin:

    Man I would love it if Howard went to the Rockets (from a Lakers fan perspective). You guys will paying him the max contract for sure.

    The guy is so delusional on his own ability, I mean this guy thought he was the only reason the Magic went to the finals back in 2009.

    This guy has been in the league for so long and yet hasn't developed a FT and keeps making dumb mistakes over and over again.

    This is a guy you can't depend on in the clutch in terms of offense because he can't hit FTs along with having no post game whatsoever.

    This guy will demand the ball in the post more than anyone in the league and yet be terribly ineffective.

    This is a guy who will quit on your team when the going gets tough. First the Magic and now the Lakers.

    There are two things Howard is elite at, rebounding and defending. That's not worth a max contract when this player is going to demand the ball in the post pout when he doesn't, commit dumb fouls, and most of all quit on your team.

    Sure Mchale is that coach, right after he asks Dwight for his autograph like he did when Harden came to town.

    Also if I am L.A it is better to amnesty Kobe and make some moves so that they could tank for the draft.

    If they tank we all know they will get the #1 pick and get Wiggins. They seriously should do that because it seems like a failed plan to try and build around Dwight at his age AND with no tradeable assets AND no big name FAs hitting UFA for like 3 more years. Seems like a dumb plan.

    he's the perfect 4 for the Rockets and could teach our young guys a thing or two, plus if he's amnestied he wouldnt cost as much and we would still have enough room to make a major move or two
