The Implosion of the Los Angeles Lakers

[blommen]

Rudy Gay didn't go to Toronto by choice........

I really don't expect Dwight Howard to be able to understand how trades and free agency works man.

There is no more S&T to teams over the cap right? I'm not sure which year that kicks in, but Gay going to Toronto isn't the only problem if it's kicked in.

You can be over the cap, you just can't be over the luxury tax line.

Buss shows dedication to the tank by unexpectedly dying

not too soon at all, Dave K.

Thanks for breaking the ice.

I wanted to ask how long until the LA Lakers media machines blame Dwight Howard for his passing?

now this is from Stephen A's mouth so take it with a with a healthy gram of salt but apparently according to him Dwight approached Rudy Gay in a game and told him he shouldn't have gone to Toronto 'cause he could join up with Dwight in Brooklyn next season.

once again, this is stephen a. saying it, it's not exactly gospel and does sound a bit excessive. fucked up thing is, I have no problem whatsoever imagining Howard saying this to Rudy Gay at ALL.

Rudy Gay was traded January 31. Lakers last played the Raptors on January 20.

So, I mean, that speaks for itself.

how long before Dwight comes out to the media and openly criticizes Jim Buss for ignoring him since after the all-star break?

Howarrd is a clown and orlando is lucky he didnt want to play there, but now the funny part is LA thinking dwight will stay when he hates the coach and his teammates just go ge tlopez and call it a day

http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/dwight-howard-mocking-kobe-bryant/175636

we’re told that Howard ‘grabbed Kobe’s uniform, put it on, and imitated him in front of all the other players on the West team. He was joking and berating Kobe’ to fellow NBA stars...The source added Bryant later arrived in the locker room, ‘said hello to everyone on the team except Howard'

God howard is a bitch

Howard is so mentally weak. He might be the most immature player in the NBA today.

It gets worse, im starting to think the magic turning howard into harkless and vucevic is as big a steal as the irving trade.


Popovich Cursed Out Howard During ASG

Gregg Popovich reportedly yelled several curse words at Dwight Howard during Sunday's All-Star Game, according to sources.

Popovich drew up a play for Howard during a timeout, but he was in his warmups not paying attention and socializing.

Howard's lack of focus has been alluded to by Kobe Bryant and others during his tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Again, this is written by the guy who just got done saying Howard told Rudy Gay during a game he should have waited to go to Brooklyn, even though the Lakers haven't even played the damn Raptors since Gay was traded there.

Bryant is 1-34 from 3 his last 15 games.

NOBE!
