On a side note, i dont think i like this trade, it does not leave Houston with anyone solid enough at the 4 spot. Which gets me really worried as to what Houston is doing with this deal. Hopefully we arnt going to fall for it. Heck Take 2 of those players out swap it with odom and i'm all for it  ,

Re: Juwan Howard to the Lakers?
Oh, well that person is an idiot then.
Anyway, i dont know if i like this trade from our point of view(Houston) we have had enough injuries and hurt people to deal with last year as it is, we dont need anymore people coming off surgury, or anything anymore. Juwon Howard and Head were our only 2 dependable players last year
And a lot of people still underrate Juwon Howard a ton. Sure he isnt an alstar or anything, but he does have a consistant 15-20 jumper and is able to get into the post. He isnt the most defensive minded player, but he can get you a good 10 points 6 rebounds a night, and even more then that when needed.
When Yao and TMac were out, Juwon was posting 20/10 for almost 2 weeks. He can be solid, its just his contract makes people not think he is any good

Re: Juwan Howard to the Lakers?
I love this trade for the Lakers. Luther Head would be an excellent player for us because hes offensive minded and not afraid to step up and hit clutch shots. He would also give great three point shooting. Howard is also another offensive minded player. Hes better than Cook right now in rebounding. They both shoot the ball real well, but Howard can post up. But the best part IMO is that Bynum could probably get 15-20 as Kwame's main backup. Although we lose a good shotblocker in Mihm, I believe Bynum could block a few shots here and there and clog up the lane. This could really help Bynum develop faster.
For the Rockets, Mihm would be a good backup center. Brian Cook is an upgrade over Howard defensively, because he can take charges well. McKie is just an expiring contract and some veteran leadership.

Re: Juwan Howard to the Lakers?
Just do not like howard's game at all. We need a better defensive presence at the 4. don't talk to me about knocking down jumpers, we're giving up Brian cook in this deal, and we just signed vlad man. howard is by no means a beast on the block, and he is a below average defender/rebounder. then take into account that he is 33 and is still owed 20 mil over the next 3 years...no thanx
Luther Head?  If this deal was to go through, my guess is that the lakers went after Head, and the rockets tried to dump Howard's salary. |

go ahead and ask him:bingram@hoopsworld.com
Personally, I don't give much trust to today's version of this rumor. No one else has reported hearing the same news on that station today. It could just be a newbie trying to get a reaction. CL locked their thread on this.

Re: Juwan Howard to the Lakers?
I'd do this trade if I were LA. Luther Head imo is going to be a good PG. Mihm wasnt even going to start for us this year any way. with Odom, Vlade and Kwame in the front court. Juwan would just be a big to provide some scoring and rebounding off the bench. McKie was never going to play in LA. and cook yeah hes decent but its just Brian Cook. I say good trade for LA Luther Head is the best player in this trade by far imo.

Re: Juwan Howard to the Lakers?
This trade does sound like BS.
Cook seems really similar to Steve Novak, why would Houston want him?
Mihm, ok, seems alright for Houston.
Mckie, ain't gonna play.
Juwan Howard doesn't fit LA, at least in Houston he's been reasonably productive.
Head - Houston's stupid for giving LA Head without getting something decent in return..
This is just terrible for either team.

I that's the case then they really should not do the trade.
