Dwight Howard says desire for championship could lead him away from Lakers

Quote:

Dwight Howard came to the Los Angeles Lakers because he felt he had a better chance to win an NBA title with that team. But the Lakers stumbled out of the gate and sit at 8-9 overall, in third place in the Pacific Division behind Golden State and the Clippers. That start had Howard suggesting recently the he might be willing to leave Los Angeles if he thinks he's more likely to win a title somewhere else.

"So I want to do it the best that I can and I’m going to take everything in I can to get what I can out of the NBA. Which, for me, is winning a championship," Howard said. "So if I have to play on another team or do whatever I have to do to get one, that’s my goal. This is my passion, so I’ll continue to fight."

Howard is averaging 18.7 points and 11.3 rebounds per game this season. The Lakers return to action against Houston on Tuesday.

Shut up Dwight.

I want to like this guy, I badly do. But that's hard to do when he annoys the shit out of me. He's always whining about something.

Who honestly thinks there is any chance he signs elsewhere?

**Bogg** · 12-03-2012, 12:17 PM

I mean, if Atlanta clears its books and can team him up with Chris Paul and Al Horford(or whoever they can get for Horford and picks)? There's a chance he won't risk going through another rebuilding process during his prime.

Yeah I think he's a good kid but he needs to shut the **** up and work on his damn game make a free throw occasionally and actually dominate the offensive boards more often block a few more damn shots.

he should murder a Vucevic or whatever his name is and now this damn whining.

come on Dwight seriously man.

True.

After a game where Howard left that Vujecic guy have a 17-12-4 game on his ass, and after seing Orlando humilliating his dumbass fouling him without the ball at halfcourt he's talking this crap?

Moron.

Hit a ****ing free throw first, Dwight...

**Bogg** · 12-03-2012, 12:42 PM

Oh, it'll be fine once they trade Gasol for Kevin Love. Nothing bad ever happens to the Lakers.

Wilt_The_Stilt · 12-03-2012, 12:49 PM

I am going to echo what some others have said.

If Dwight wants to win so bad he should work on his free throws.

There are young children that shoot free throws better than him. It's pathetic.

**Basel** · 12-03-2012, 03:00 PM

Dwight's not going anywhere.

Cajon · 12-03-2012, 03:53 PM

At the end of the day, it's all about the money.

As opposed to the Celtics, whose management bungled for 20 years and made them unwatchable?

Come on, sounds like bitter dregs to me. Have the team you follow look in the mirror before you go complaining about how Laker management has managed to make the team competitive year in and year out.

**Ron** · 12-03-2012, 07:59 PM

Instead of chatting up nonsense after the game, Dwight, how 'bout you practice some free throws?

This guy is a ****ing buffoon. Unfortunately, we traded our psycho handicap-parking snatching nutcase for him. Not sure who I want less on the team now.

Entertaining, anyway.
