What will the Lakers do with Dwight Howard?

motowner · Apr 25, 2013

they'll be out in 5 games at the very most, likely swept.

lakers are really stuck in a bad position with howard - he's not a max guy and is the most overrated center of all time, but won't take less than max to stay with the lakers.

problem is, lakers can't do a max sign-and-trade due to some CBA rules around the 5th year and max deals.

He is the biggest cry baby in all of sports.
I said before the season started when Bynum and Howard are both 100% healthy Bynum is the better center.
Only problem with that is Bynum is not 100% very often.
Lakers are about to enter a new era of irrelevance since Buss died and kobe nearing the end.

Its going to be like the era the Knicks just got out of or the Celtics after Bird and McHale or Chicago after Jordan and before Rose.

but how do you see the lakers valuing him?

howard is a pretty damn good center. He has shown a noticeable decline since his peak days in orlando but I think he is still incredibly productive....if he could shoot FTs then I think he is a max contract guy

shdw01 · Apr 25, 2013

and i hate howard and i hate the lakers...but it is what it is

shdw01 · Apr 25, 2013

he averaged 17.1 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.45 blocks.....and this is someone who was a shell of himself early on so these stats will improve if he is healthy for an entire season

Do away with him. Tear it all down and do away with everybody except Jamison. They need shooters something fierce.

On Sunday, I really do hope it's Howard's last game as a Laker.

I really think it will be

Lakers need to start over. Time to get a whole bunch of young guys and I don't know where Durant is right now with his contract but maybe think about putting in plans to get that guy. I think Durant would be a good fit for LA.

he's signed through the 2015/16 season and at that point okc will be able to offer him the most. he'll be 28 at that time. baring a major injury or severe dropoff, okc would never let him go.

Getting T'd up twice. What a copout. He wanted no part of game 4. Good riddance.

doubledeuce22 · Apr 28, 2013

I wouldn't want Dwight Howard anywhere near my team. Most overrated player I've ever seen.

RoofTop · Apr 28, 2013

He needs to be in the East

agreed, he got the boot on purpose.

i can't believe mitch is so hard up to give this guy max dollars, it's sickening.

He's one of so many talented players right now who just don't have the mental toughness to compete in the league.

gtc08 · Apr 29, 2013

looking at how the lakers payroll is currently constructed right now, i almost guarantee he is gone.

the lakers have 78 mill on the cap next year, and 9 mill on the cap in 2014/2015. everybodys contract expires at the end of next seasons besides nash. kobe will play his final year next season and then be done, gasol will move on, nash will retire or get traded to waive that 9 mill off that cap.

the lakers are set to be a middle of the road team next season and then rebuild. they will have nothing on the payroll in 2014/2015

If hes not the most overrated player, hes in the Top 5. I wouldnt want anything to do with him either. He has shown how good a coach Stan Van Gundy is tho, no way is Howard a #1 guy, hes close to a role player

howard isnt overrated, hes just immature.

What will the Lakers do with Dwight Howard?
