OFFICIAL: Dwight Howard traded to Lakers - Page 3 - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

I hope Stern doesn't let this diva dictate where he gets traded either

HB · 12-09-2011, 07:45 AM

Wish it wasn't Broussard saying the deal is close

**Dre** · 12-09-2011, 08:07 AM

The Paul situation ruined it. You see how fast the wheels turned on this after the Lakers went belly up? The momentum was there for the Lakers to flip Bynum and some more for him by the middle of next week until Stern and the 27 bitches blocked it at the rim.

Dwight said forget that and pointed to Brooklyn on the map.

Stern had enough technical backing with the Ownership situation to get away with the Paul rejection in a lot of people's eyes...but he has final say over everything, so this isn't different. Dwight will probably get his way because he's not joining a super team, but anyone else in the future looking to wheel and deal like that should look out.

It's about to be a "basketball reasons" crusade against more Knicks and Heat

NBA can't stop this deal. Last I checked Prokhorov and Rich De Vos sign the checks for the Nets and the Magic.

I dont want to see Dwight in a laker uniform. I would probably support him anywhere he goes EXCEPT for the Lakers. And I like the Lakers right now, so it's not cuz i hate the Lakers, i just dont think they deserve him. They dont have the best assets, and plus they've been handed their fair share of bunny's over the years. Would rather see a super team form and support him anywhere else but there...

Which is exactly what the NBA needs before 26 of their franchises are completely irrelevent

Please, players teaming up has been happening since the beginning of time.

The NBA is delusional if they think they can stop this.

HB · 12-09-2011, 08:33 AM

Lol the guy complaining about super teams didn't have a problem with Ray going to Boston.

It needs to be done via free agency. That's the point of free agency. These guys should not be able to walk up to their GM's and say "Trade me to New Jersey". I haven't seen it work that way in any other sport and we shouldn't tolerate it here

Ray never wanted to be traded. Presti came in, took over, and made a terrible move all on his own.

Paul and Howard have specifically asked for trades to certain teams. The franchises trading him don't even have the opportunity to take the best deal on the table

The owners don't have to give in to the players demands, if they are so upset about they can keep the Dwight Howards of the world and get nothing.
