Dwight Howard May Or May Not Like The Lakers

Even if Howard goes to the Lakers, he should know Kobe is still top dog. Nobody goes in the way of Kobe jacking up 40 shots a game. lol

Maybe that scared Howard.

And LA is only willing to trade grandpa Gasol for the league’s best Center? Silly. It makes more sense for both Orlando and Howard to work out a trade with the Nets.

If he wants to be sweet and cute then go to LA. If he wants to win championships and go to the Hall of Fame and have respect forever then come here. We’re tough and we love our team like family — then we win the whole thing. Check our record. This is where real men play this game.

There was a piece on Bill Russell above this topic. If we want to talk about someone who made an impact on the game and life in general there could be a Blog just on Bill Russell.
Dwight Howard stuff is all about Dwight Howard. Bill Russell stuff is all about team, life, equality, principle, etc.

I don’t know what Howard is really like and I think the media makes alot about nothing.

If Howard truly has reservations about the Lakers and I say truly, then he is clearly putting location and lifestyle on the backburner to having a quality team situation set up for him. It points to him not wanting to be a sidekick to Kobe and his fear that the roster will age overnight on him. The idea of him going where Deron Williams is good and all but is that enough in his mind? Does he feel that they can fill in with scrubs and that him and Deron will do all the heavy lifting? He may feel that the rest of the supporting cast will be made sufficient whatever situation Deron and he are placed in. That brings me to Boston. Is it possible that he views Rondo very favorably but would have concerns on the rest of the roster? Is it possible that Danny Ainge’s manifesto going forward here is to try to finagle one or two more really good young pieces to go with Rondo to present to Howard. I never felt it would be advantageous for us to move any of the old three. Never felt that there was a deal to match up for KG due to salary constraints. Never felt that a low round pick and/or the kind of young player we would get in return for Ray or Paul would be worth building around. You don’t win with the 25th pick as your core player. But Ainge may be viewing a couple of young players as additional pieces to add to Rondo as enough to convince Dwight. I never felt that the old three would be traded this March. Now I wonder. Lastly all this fuss over a guy who you can question on his leadership abilities? We as Celtic fans have been spoiled these last five years with KG, Paul and Ray governing this team. Now we will want the Dwight Howard era to commence. Appears to be a huge difference in leadership. When the going gets tough here as I’m sure it will at some point will Howard man up and lead our team? This team needs a quality big in the middle. I have supported moving Rondo to get that big. If Ainge keeps the status quo it would appear that he has another plan in mind. And I could then see him moving Ray. As opposed to when we acquired Ray and KG (personally I was excited to no end) Howard brings questions for me. Everyone will be excited because our future will seem bright. I’m not so sure.
