Dwight Howard is ready to sign a contract extension with the Lakers but the Orlando Magic may still wait until they can get the "right" deal for Howard before dealing him.
A good look
ReplyDeleteKobe all day lakers 2013 champs. Sign come get the ring with nash
ReplyDeleteAll day #6 for kobe lakers
DeleteDwight not going to beat da heat the lakers cant handle them
DeleteMan the heat will not be able to stop our bugs. The Lakers are the only team that actually match up to beat the heat.
DeleteLakers suck heat all way and stupid to give dwight howard away
DeleteYou're just jealous because of how great that trade is, remind us again in how you jumped on the heat band wagon....true lakers fans, believe in every individual player
DeleteT they gonna get some spot up shooters?
ReplyDeleteLets just end the dilemma and sign so da Lake Show can't get going. Go Lakers
ReplyDeleteShould read can get going
ReplyDeleteNow bynum gonna make it difficult but its all good. bout time dwight finally stop being a bitch and realized its his destiny! Purple & gold. Yea we need shooters 2...
ReplyDeleteWe coming at dey necks Preach. But we do hafta get some more shooters. Bynum probably will make it hard, but if he think about it he could do things in cleveland wit kyrie and company, better than in houston.
DeleteI agree. Everybody always talkin kobe dont past bynum the ball. We will c wat he can do without kobe or pau and hes gonna c alot of double teams so we will c cause I just dont c him 25 & 10 a nite after he get his money. D12 not wat bynum is offensively but he solves all our problems rite now except outside shooting and makes us still contenders when kobe retires. Looks like young okc miss there shot last year and now they gonna have 2 wait a couple more years.
DeleteYep. Like I said the other day bynum got more offensive moves but howard is very much more aggressive and he hustles all the time. Defensively he's a beast.
DeleteThey need houston to be involved. Bynum said he wud resign there. The problem im seeing is with orlando wanting to unload contracts. I know la can't take em not sure if rockets can either.
ReplyDeleteIts gonna be interesting to see how this plays out. But at least howard is willing to sign an extended contract now, the lakers just gotta work shit out now to make sure it happens.
Deletestill too slow for okc. who will stop russ? nash? dont get me wrong lakers are a huge threat now but lets not jump the gun and say "champs"
ReplyDeleteRuss will stop himself. 4-20 in a close out game in da finals.
Deletewhat about his 42 point game y dont u bring that up? ive seen kobe have worse games. get off russels dick fact is he is unstoppable when driving
DeleteHe's sometimes out of control when he drives too, I like westbrook dont get me wrong, I liked him coming out of UCLA. But he can be indecisive at times. I think at times its because he goes too fast. And I'm not tryna knock him or kill him its just he fucks up alot at times.
DeleteWhy does OKC need to watch out? Nash and Kobe cant guard durant, westbrook, or hardin. Is dwight gonna guard them too? Metta world peace gonna lock everyone down? The lakers need athletic defenders, nash aint exactly shutting anyone down these days. The lakers got better no doubt, but defense wins rings and right now, LA is soft at the 1-3 spot on D. Now i know laker fans are gonna reply bitchin sayin kobe this and kobe that. Nash this and that. Reality is they just got done with a short grueling season and kobe is playin in the olympics, he aint no spring chicken anymore, D12 may not be 100% With his back. Look at the big picture.they got better but we dont know who they will have to give up yet and whos gonna come in. Simmer down laker fans.
ReplyDeleteLol. Harden sucked in da finals. Westbrook shot 4-20 in a close out final game

ReplyDeleteWell maybe they can't guard okc but wesbrooks mistakes will be all enough for the Lakers.
ReplyDeleteBulls nba champions next year nuff said.
ReplyDeletebulls took a step back, lost their depth which.was their greatest strength
DeleteAll of y'all are crazy Miami heat have the most dominant complete team including.a bench this year Dwight is over rated bynum is way better than Dwight and younger too plus we Lebron plus Kobe ND Dwight are give me the ball players it ain't.gonna work gotta give it maybe 2 years cause.to play or learn to play with ballhog kobe is not easy repeat for.the heat
ReplyDeleteYall lakers haters kill me wen talk call kobe a ball hog, lebron shots more than anybody on that team and he got the help he needs. Its different wen you hafta carry the team and nobody wants to take wide open shots.
ReplyDeletedifference is lebron makes more than he misses. and kobe shoots more than anyone in league, not just most on his team.
DeleteLook at wat was kobes team and look at lebrons! R u serious?! Its easier 2 get better looks when u got multiple allstars and 3 point shooters on ya team. C'mon man can kobe haters atleast b realistic? Cause its obvious yall didnt watch many lakers games this year
Deletewhat about when lebron was on cleveland shooting over 50 percent? kobes never shot over 50 even when he did have a stacked team, or team mates to take the pressure off
Deletelebrons been in the league 9 years. the last eight years hes shot a higher percentage than kobe has. nothing to do with team mates and everything to do with his style of play
DeleteBasically. And i wasnt even going 2 bring that up. And style of play is different because kobe wasnt blessed 2 b 6'9 260 and he always had 2 play wit bigs who hog the paint so of course kobe has 2 shoot more jumpers. So that just another meaningless stat that lebron fans need 2 let go. Im big on stats but i could say lebron was like wat 3-34 shootin jumpers n the finals but that didnt matter heat won just like kobe already won 5. So again wats ya point? Cause its not like lebron has 2 live off the jumpshot like kobe do these days.
DeleteIm not big on stats. I meant 2 say
DeleteI hate this swype keyboard, cuz words pop up wen thats not wut you want. But you get what I mean.
ReplyDeleteYea thats wat u wanna believe heat fans but tha fact is this is a much better fit for this laker team wit nash and kobe on the perimeter..a better fit than bynum! Thats why it wont take no 2 years like the heat because these parts fit. The lakers cant play nash style ball wit bynum & gasol but d12 is faster more athletic and already use 2 tha pick & roll. Kobe can just get 25 points a nite now standing around doing nuthin and b efficent wit it. I think pau will b better after playin wit his own country men coming off olympics just like sum of the usa players will and mitch will feel n the rest of the holes cause its win now! As for okc, look d12 will shut down the paint then wat? Okc shootin jumpers and u c that didnt get it done for them n finals so we can live wit that and wateva bad percentage they shoot because the jumpers wont fall everynite. And I cant believe sum dude even mention james harden wit his suck ass! He stunk against the heat and tha LAKERS n playoffs hes is not a superstar. Hes exactly wat he is a 6th man, he cant play against the kobes, wmp, lebron, wades he not effective if hes against other teams superstars and his shots never have dropped on the road.
ReplyDeleteBy the way...and I had 2 realize this myself but who can stop russ & k .d? Because they still got theres against the heat even tho they lost. And ive seen westbrook have a couple of 4-20 games against the lakers so that doesnt matter. if u got a couple great 1 on 1 defenders thats great but its true that overall team defense is wat matters. And d12 made orlando a good defense without any other great 1 on 1 defenders on that team. As far as his health hell teams still want him so i assume everything is a go.
Deletedurant can shut down kobe is the fourth, like he proved last season.
DeleteI dont remember? Kobe still got his just like k.d. Got his against the heat. And yall keep talkin bout the 4th quart of that series... did u watch the whole game? Kobe had 2 make everything happen offensively for 48 mins n every game That series and hes 34 years old! Of course he didnt have the legs 2 close
Deletegame 2. lakers up 5 with two min left. durant steals an attempted pass from kobe, goes the other way for a easy dunk. next possession durant picks kobes pocket again. and the rest is history
DeleteO yea no doubt that game 2 was on kobe but the whole series? Hell no
DeleteDont do it dwight! Go to houston. Kings all day.
ReplyDeleteI don't like all these superstars getting together. It waters down the league. But ppl r nuts to think nash kobe n dwight don't make the lakers a legitimate contender. Guarding Westbrook n Durant will be a lot easier with a defensive stud in the middle.
ReplyDeleteThank u yak. But hey lets b real now. Kobe, nash, pau mwp, jamison none of them dudes r n there prime rite? And if we get d12 it will b thru trade and bynum was drafted a laker and its not like he a scrub. So like i said its dwights destiny 2 b a laker if it wasnt he would b already traded sumwhere else. And u guys nba common sense aint as dumb as u think. Even he know lakers get d12 its troube for the rest even tho my boys old.
DeleteU laker fans hating on westbrook for 1 4-20 game. When kobe has had those games multiple times and shot a career low 43% this year.
ReplyDeleteNot me bruh cause i understand great scorers r gonna have them type of games when u got others on ya team who r not as skilled offensively. Westbrook and kobe had 2 shoot them shots and like i said ive seen both of them win and lose n those games so that dont matter 2 me
DeleteWestbrook has had more than just one bad shooting game dude, you make it sound like he shot good all year and only had that one bad game come on. At least we lakers fans are keeping it real wit kobes bad games. And lets not forget as a team they blew a 25pt lead wit dey good shooting asses
DeleteHow did my statement make it sound like i think westbrook doesnt have bad games. It was the opposite. Everyone has bad games even the LA star kobe. So get off westbrooks back.
DeleteCuz thats how you stated it. But I'm not on his back, if u go back in look at what I said earlier. I like westbrook, liked him during his UCLA days.
DeleteI hear everybody saying how can't nobody hold westbrook, or Durant. But can't nobody stop kobe either nor nash or Howard, so they both good, its just gone be a match
ReplyDeleteAll you Lakers fan ls don't get ahead of yourself hw said he would re-sign , but after season is over that sounds like a pump fake move if you ask me
ReplyDeleteGo back and read the article, he said he would sign an extended contract.
DeleteRockets
ReplyDeleteHe is going to be a Brooklyn net somehow some way, that's where he wants to be,
ReplyDeleteNow since Dwight is on the lakers. Lakers shud now trade pau gasol for josh smith. Because if lakers ger josh Smith dwight will be a laker forever because evryone knows Dwight and josh r best friends. Plus josh Smith cud guard kevin Durant and Lebron James because Dwight and josh Smith r one of the best defensive players in the NBA. Plus josh Smith is a sklid 3 point shooter. Thats why we dont need pau gasol and we lakers need josh smith

ReplyDeletewould b nice but i dont know
DeleteMan you just put a whole new twist on things. It would be real nice, but thats too good to see that come true. But that would be nice.
DeleteD . Howard is done he's a good player bcuz of his vertical and size... take it from one who know threw experience, when u have a back injury its very hard to recover... Ex. Tracy MacGrady, Mike Miller....etc.. D12 might come back but I can't believe he will be the same...
ReplyDeleteHe will be usable at least in the lakers more so than he has been for Orlando in the recent times.
ReplyDeleteWho cares how many rings they each have..wen it comes down to it.. They all want anotherone each year..ppl need to stop living in the past..Kobe has 6... So what..he lost this year..guess what..my rocketa had 2 championships..back in the 90s..gheas what..back in the past..yes lbj did wen..but gueaa whats..that was last season.. Every player will want a ring this year..its all about the present.. So forget the past.. Smh.. Laker got stonger..fact of the matter is..heat got more options..deep bench..shit load of all stars..heat out do lakera every year and evwey chriatmas lol
ReplyDeleteThis conversation has gotten way off but I will oblige anyway. Starting with with Westbrook, he is not a scorer. That is a fact. He is a great driver and can score when he does that. I did not get a chance to see how his play was during the season but if it's anything like it was during the playoffs, they were lucky they got as far as they did. Too many forced up shots that weren't going down. They were able to ride durants consistent performance but that fizzled in the finals. Harden became non-existent in the playoffs really with the exception of a couple of key clutch shots in the earlier rounds. As for the main topic, Dwight would be a dramatic upgrade at the 5 over Bynum by a long shot. For some reason, offensive capability from Bynum keeps coming up that he is better scorer. This is wrong. I'll give him some credit for having a short jump shot, but their number were similar but Howard has the edge on rebounds and defense. And he more mature. And when I say this, I mean one the floor. This drama that has been happening in the news with him is him trying to get the spotlight for that great deal. Bynum gets in the news to, but for different reasons. Howard would definitely help the Lakers for a push for a championship but I don't see first season if this deal comes to pass. Timing is the main issue if this deal even happens. Would definitely make and help them become a defensive juggernaut in the west. Only time will tell what will actually happen.
ReplyDeleteOk. That was a mouthful, but true.
DeleteWestbrook not a scorer? I mean thats wat I think he do best besides his defense. Bottom line hes playin outa position. He remind me of wade when he was younger they tried 2 make him a pg when he first came n league 2. russ is playin wit a better k.d. so hes gonna get critized for his shot selection regardless but I think he still needs 2 b agressive until k.d. Or somebody else on that team develops a post game
DeleteAnd true bynum and dwight avg the same but when we say better scorer we mean hes got more moves n post. It may b slow and ugly but bynum got all the moves n the post. He can shoot over either shoulder wit both hands, wit touch and a good free throw shooter. It just depends on who guarding him because perk shuts him down. But u rite bout dwight, he can match bynums production just on effort alone.
DeleteMan Howard has made his legacy as known as bein a lil bitch fuck him go to the Lakers and Rockets get Bynum we need that nigga some one who can actually commit and not make a scene and a buncha bullshit for our franchise

ReplyDeleteWhether or not Bynum has more moves in the post, if that doesn't result in noticbly higher numbers than Howard, then there is really no point in that being brought up. As far as it being thought that scoring is what Westbrook does best, if he continues to brick up horrible shooting numbers in reference to the 4-20 example, which is not his worst by the way and won't be his last, just because he gets fouled while driving or he gets lucky with some of his jump shots, does not make him a scorer. In my opinion, they could be much more effective if he would hold back on his shots more, test the lanes, and if OKC could bring somebody in that could at least score in double digits, not a star, but solid producer, that would help them. Let's face it, realistically, they only have 3 scorers in Westbrook, Durant, and harden. I do agree with the earlier comment about how Westbrook shouldn't be a point and he actually really wasn't when he came into the league but I think has done a great job adjusting to the role. From what I saw during the earlier rounds of the playoffs, OKC was much more effective with harden running the point and brook and 2. One 42 point fame does not make up for a series of bad choice shots.
ReplyDeleteU just said it tho, him, k.d., and harden r the only scorers so like I say he has 2 shoot. And Its not like hes 4-20 every game. U rite westbrook best at attacking the paint but that pull up jumper off the pick is deadly and unstoppable when hes going and im sayin that as a laker fan. Not off one 42 point game but I c him improving every year and as far as him playin pg that mite not even b a debate next year because they get maynor back. Mayb they do move him 2 the 2 or trade him. Either way I think westbrook will b a top 5 type player n tha future. Dude is a killer
DeleteAs for the person who posted right before I did. You need to get your stories straight. Prior to this past season with all the speculation during the lockout, please enlighten us on his legacy. Bynum has been non committed and has continued with his bad attitude and immaturity thinking he is a top dog which he is not. Not by a long shot. This season might have been a career season for him but Howard has been averaging those numbers. I am not a magic fan or laker fan so I'm not being biased. I've seen worse trades that have worked out. But people need to stop posting stuff up that is just straight trash talk that doesn't even have any merit whatsoever. If you have facts behind what you are saying then it's all good. But if your just saying Bynum rules cause you are a laker fan, and being a douchebag towards Howard, then find somewhere else to post smack.
ReplyDeleteWord up
DeleteGo kings!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGo kings!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe lakers can do whatever the fuck they want..The miami heat WILL repeat. Ray allen! Fuck you bitch ass haters! Yeah, I said it. THUG LIFE
ReplyDeleteFuck Ray Allen. Da king will still lead da heat to another title. Just hang on his cape.
ReplyDeleteBetween preach and dredogg422 its tough to make an argument. I like that and the have extremely valid points. I'm Celtics fan so naturally I dislike the Lakers but my love for game out weighs that. I mean look at how domaint Kobe has been sincehe arrived and pretty much took over the league and in the process took 5 rings. Now that he's aging okc and heat are grinding for the reigns of the league. And as for the heat. Lebron has an extremely well rounded game. Few match up with him well. Took him a while for the ring but that's how it goes in the NBA. And for westbrook. He's a great point and in my opinion will always compete with the best of them. Of course he makes a lot of mistakes. He still a young player. He's still maturing as a player. Give him a couple years and last season playoffs woos is history.
ReplyDeleteMan y'all crazy.... bynum can't fuck wit howard.... westbrook a beast.... lakers get howard the heat might be in trouble... but my clippers are in da mix.... watch out for my clippers..... go wizards..... lol.... wizards some shit.... but atleast my skins got rg3.... fuck cowboys wit a long prick
ReplyDeleteYou gonna kill me but, Bynum its better than Howard, just think on the FT problem!!
