As much as a lot of us don't like Howard and thought he cemented his childish greedy image by becoming a Flamer, how many props should and would he rightly get if he was punking the Fakeshow the whole time?Walks away as a free agent.
Bryant won't chase Howard out of here, but multiple sources tell Yahoo! Sports that the only issue that would give Howard pause on re-signing with the Lakers would be D'Antoni. In the end, D'Antoni is a coach who fundamentally doesn't believe in post play, who sees franchise centers as intrusive cloggers of the lane.

What if the Lakers fire D'antoni and Dwight still leaves?

Nice article.
Buss passed on the Lakers' glorious championship legacy to attach his franchise to the desert mirage of D'Antoni and Nash, a reunion tour born of a one-dimensional, gimmick offense and a point guard pushing 39 years old.
"The way this turns out," one league source connected to the hiring process said, "you've chosen not only Steve Nash over [Pau] Gasol, but maybe over Gasol and Dwight [Howard]."
I said that if Phil were to come back and coach the lakers. Nash would be Steve Kerr material and definitely would not start. Phil loves a guy like Morris that he could groom to be more defensive (Like Harper and Fisher) if he sees what we see, he would probably want Nash gone.
^^And planned the whole thing.
No i don't think he did I'm just sayin. That would be epic.![]()
WGAF, Lakers wont win a le this year and neither will the Spurs. The Spurs are forever stuck in mediocrity and no one cares about them. even your own fans.
Coatails Phil is gonna want 5 tons more then Morris starting and Nash to the bench or gone.
He should get whatever he wants.

Dwight, Nash, NDA, Jim Buss and You! Who's next?
Lakerfan, you do realize Phil's finna get PAID by the Sonics, right?![]()
Maybe, but as long as the lakers have Jenny, they have a shot at him.
Lakers will fire D'antoni after this season. Saves embarrassment from having to fire 2 coaches in a 1 season
As long as the Lakers have Jimmy, they don't have much of a shot really![]()
I don't think he;ll last that long. They have a 7 game road trip coming up and if they do horrid on it I think he's gone. I see Dwight walking either way, and if the Lakers don't trade him then they deserve to lose him. So they are going to have to make a choice at the deadline. Gasol or Howard.
"We've got an All-Star team," D'Antoni said. "Have you ever watched an All-Star Game? It's God-awful because everybody gets the ball, they go one-on-one and then they play no defense. That's our team."![]()
Never underestimate the power of a woman.
D'antoni ting on DwightThere’s the one guy, the two guy, the three guy and the four guy. It might not be the same guy every night, but somebody’s got to accept being the fourth guy. And if you’ve been the first guy all your life, that’s hard to accept.![]()
Dantoni quit on the Suns and he quit on the Knicks. Looks like he's perfectly content to get fired and collect Buss' money for the next three years while he works for ESPN or TNT.
This season is approaching historic levels for me as a Lakers fan. Unbelievable!
I admit I was on the trade Gasol bandwagon but not just for this seasons, I hate his softness but if this Idiot needs to trade him for his system. that! Don't trade anybody.
Lakers need to trade Gasol for McGee, tbh... go full monkey balling... plus you get gems like this:

I love how every Lakers fan throws Buss under the bus for the D'Antoni hiring when Kobe Bryant personally signed off on it if they couldn't get Phil.
Kobe was thinking 7 secs or less was gonna pad his stats for the scoring le and regular season glory. Kobe never does anything without his selfish reasons behind it. Now that's its not working, he's throwing the system under the bus....but I thought we were all idiots for questioning it earlier this year![]()
At this point, I could give two s about resigning Howard. If he goes, there will be another star that will flock to LA. Just like Wilt. Just like Shaq. It may not happen for a while, but it will happen.
i root for all Lakers (aka homerism), but I can say with a straight face that I have been underwhelmed with Howard this year. If he stuck to defense, rebounding, and putback dunks, he'd be great. As it stands, he wants the ball but has no post game and is good for about 4 TOs/game. These TOs kill LA because other teams fast break on our old asses.
if he bounces, we'll pay another disgruntled star or a combination of good players until another star becomes available. If Bynum weren't so injury prone, Howard never even dons P&G tbh.
Harsher luxury tax rules + compe ion from other warm-weather destination teams (MIA, LAC) = good luck with that dream![]()
time warner deal tbh.
Maybe if Jim Buss isn't in charge.
