Howard will most likely resign with Lakers

[Mac4Lyfe]

Howard is a big ole bitch. I live in Houston and use to live in Orlando and LA. I refuse to watch this little whiny fraud. I liked Asik over him anyway.

[Maverick11]

Strong lineup.....Howard, Harden, Parsons, and possibly Josh Smith. That's a solid front line defensively.

[easyliving]

will be a shame to see Asik go.

[broadway6]

going to rockets and they will trade asik to atlanta for smith houston is gonna be NICE

Smith will make them a first round exit.

You know the NBA is a joke when you have all these teams groveling to Dwight fcuking Howard. Have some self-respect. Jesus Christ.

[Fader]

This is going to be a disaster for Houston. Lin and Asik may not have been impressive down the stretch but at least they shared the ball and worked as a team. Smith and Howard are selfish on and off the court. Team dynamic is now screwed.

Howard is a beast under the basket. Jeremy lin has okay ball handling skills but hes a willing passer and so is harden. Houston just got deadly

[crustyme]

he will work out just fine. takes time to come off a back surgery.

lol

check in lakerboy

[crustyme]

whats funny is people say howard couldn't coexist with kobe because he was a ball-hog. but harden is one too. attempted as many shots per game as durant, curry and lebron.

Lol who do you want him to pass to? Jeremy Lin or Francisco Garcia? He shot a lot for a reason.

like kobe had anyone to pass to.

lol

[jsmithj88]

Wow, 0.0001%??? I'll make you a deal. I'll be kind and take 10-1 odds that both Kobe & Howard are on the opening day roster next season. I'll put up 1,000 SBR points. We can send our points to a mod to hold.

Obviously..........considering in your opinion there is a 0.0001% chance of this happening..........it's pretty much a gift from me to you. Thank me later.

Deal? Or...........were you just flapping them gums?

[Menses]

LOL....good stuff right there

[crustyme]

espn now reporting 50-50 on howard returning to lakers.

lol

Actually I was just assuming they will get rid of Lin and Asik. Who knows though. It's really telling when someone is selfish off the court, it really says a lot about their character and how they will end up playing. With Howard, it's all about me, me, me. Someone like that will never win a championship unless they change their attitude. Someone else said Harden didn't pass enough, I agree but it was his first year as the "main guy, or go to guy or main starter." He's going to be better next season for sure. As bad as the rest of the team was, they can only get better next season, even Lin and Asik. But not with selfish people like Howard, no matter how talented he is.

espn now reporting 50-50 on howard returning to lakers.

lol

espn coverage at its best

seriously though did anyone think Howard would make up his mind this quick? You know he will drag this out and keep changing his mind.

[easyliving]

make no mistake about it Howard will be resigning with the Lakers

[crustyme]

NBA TV announcing howard will sign with rockets.

[crustyme]

kobe isnt all about kobe ?? yea, kobe never won any titles being a me first player ......

[greenhippo]

........... posted at 9:24, at that time Howard had already told Stephen A in person he was signing with Rockets

......

[Ratzz]

there is 0.000 chance that Howard remains with Kobe/Lakers..

If they resign Howard...........hold tight next season.........the Lakers will have a ton of money to sign a star from the unreal summer 2014 free agent class.

Here is a thought for the haters to hate on........get ready haters............HATE ON:

Howard, Kobe and LeBron James

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...ay-with-lakers

no guarantees, but "0.000"?

dumbfukk

i really LOVE Laker fans.. the lack of understanding is pure entertainment for us haters.

[greenhippo]

Reading through this thread 10 minutes ago and thought 'hadn't seen ratz post in a good while' guy didn't disappoint.

[bettilimbroke999]

Fighting over paying Dwight Howard 25 million....uhhhhh what?

Guy is about the 5th best center in the league right now as well as a huge asshole that changes teams each year (bc its clearly the other players costing this "superstar" championships, you see he just cant find a good team to play for...maybe he should sign with the Heat as a backup to Bosh) and shoots free throws like Ray Charles while laughing about it the whole time (yea 10 years of 40% game blowing free throws and its still hilarious)

Funny how ya dont see FG kickers in the NFL laughing and smiling as the game determining FG goes wide....HAHAHA did you see that man omfg I SUCK HAHAHAHA and they still pay me 25 million HAHAHAHAHA

and the lakers + kobe still begged him to stay, haha

[Sledge187]

LOL! Laker fans are so delusional. LA is a front running town! Where is the William Walters guy??? LMAO! Go Rockets!!!!

[MoneyLineDawg]

Love him or hate him, make no mistake about it....Dwight is an elite center who will be even better in a situation he wants to be in (sad but true).....You could tell he was uninspired with Kobe and Mike D but I expect him to return back to his Magic form before all the Dwight-saga BS

If he wasn't worth a shit, why would the Lakers, usually a model franchise, offer him the max and throw the kitchen sink at resigning him, including that pathetic billboard??

Rockets are going to be awesome, watch.......perfect fit

[William Walters]

Great read on the Howard situation:

P.S. Ratzz..........tell us again how your TWO favorite teams are the HEAT and the THUNDER! You silly little assclown.

LOL!!! LA is so butt hurt!!! You guys have no NFL team!!!! Your not a real sports town. Now you are anti Howard??? Have fun paying your state income tax.

[jsmithj88]

there nothing lakers fans can say to downplay this debacle
they lost the top 2 centers for absolutely nothing in return
management and their superstar kobe embarrassed themselves by begging dwight to stay

lebron will be a free agent in a couple years
i give lakers management and kobe a lot of credit, they are putting in their practice early
im sure kobe is putting in the extra hours, practicing that begging position
make sure to follow through kobe, follow through !!!!

[Cheme82]

As long as they don't send his stupid ass to Houston it's all good. We'll keep Asik.

I am not a Dwight fan...and see his faults for what they are...but other than Kobe? who was the best player on the Lakers last year?_____________ That's what I thought. Who was the best player on the Magic while he was there?____________ That's what I thought.....now when Dwight comes back fully rested....what do you think is going to happen to the Lakers chances of getting the 8 spot next year?_____________ That's what I thought.............................LMAO
