According to ESPN, Dwight Howard will not re-sign with the Lakers.

 

There is very little chance of Dwight Howard re-signing with the Los Angeles Lakers this summer, according to sources close to the situation.

 

Let the speculation begin... lol.

Well, dayum.

 

I'm guessing Mavs or Rockets.  Mavs probably win out.

 

Man, Kupchack looks really dumb right now.

 

Has absolutely nothing to do with Kupchak.  Kupchak didn't choose Pringles, that honor goes to Jimmy Buss.  Had they hired Phil last year, or Brian Shaw this year D12 would be a lock to stay....

 

Also I take anything Broussard says with a HUGE grain of salt.  Not that I think D12 is going to stay because I don't as long as Pringles is the coach, but Mr. "Multiple Sources" Broussard is a complete hack....

LOL, that's the first I'd ever heard of him being referred to as Pringles, and yet, I knew exactly who you were referring to.  Awesome.

 

BUT, I don't think it's just on D'antoni.  I think it has to do with Kobe as well.  D12 wants to be the man, but when he is the man, he doesn't want all of the pressure.  With Kobe, he doesn't get to be the man, but still gets all the pressure because Kobe put it on him.

I don't think he minds Kobe nearly as much as some people like to assume he does. When you're the best Center in the league and asked to run the floor and rebound but the ball doesn't get to you in the paint consistently it's pretty frustrating I would think. I wouldn't want to play for that functional retard either if I was D12.  No hard feelings if Dwight ends up leaving Showtime, because Jimmy fuged this up royally....

If I was Howard, I'll choose the Mavs.  Cuban has shown to be a great owner and also a loyal owner with the way Dirk and him have worked together.  Dirk hasn't even had an agent ever.  Granted, Dirk is a LOT more level headed than Howard, but still.

Kobe sits out the year, Lakers get Wiggins and compete for the next 15 years

 

/conspiracy 

 

LOL Right?! The first thing I thought of was "Somehow the Lakers are gonna get Wiggins and be a top 5 team for years to come". On the topic of Dwight though...do NOT want. He is such a baby. Granted the talent is there (obviously) but there is no guarantee if we got him that he would stay beyond a year or whatever time span he decides is too much time. Probably about 2 weeks here.

I wouldn't say that, I just think that he goes out a limb and he's not always right.

 

He was the first one that reported that Paul was upset with the Clippers organization over Del *****... a few days later... Del ***** gets canned.

Broussard has been wrong more than he's been right.  Last year he said for a week that D12 to the Nets was imminent then two months later he was traded to the Lakers.  Broussard is an absolute joke when it comes to sports journalism....

You must hate Cam Newton... 

 

I look at it the same way that I look at the Newton situation... there childish antics (moping, poor press conferences, side line demeanor) is because they are very fierce competitors who want to win more than anything.

 

It's clear that it's not about money because L.A. can offer Howard the most money.

I agree, he makes a lot of his stuff up (or his sources are deaf).

 

Hopefully he wouldn't make up this story just to say that he was the first to report it.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
