    It's a good thing anytime the biggest mental midget in the league, and one who has an offensive game that Stromile Swift would scorn, leaves your team, especially when you don't have to pay said mental midget 120 million dollars.

    Dwight is a great complementary player in the Tyson Chandler mold, and Rockets fans are en led to be excited, since he'll essentially be 2nd in the offensive pecking order behind Harden, giving that team a strong 1-2 punch for the next 5 years. And if he knows his role and focuses on his strengths (defense and rebounding), the Rockets will be a tough team.

    But on the Lakers, Dwight would've crashed-and-burned. He would've forced himself into position as "the man," either this year as Kobe heals up or the next, and the Lakers would've been stuck with this guy as their franchise centerpiece for the foreseeable future, since they don't have the luxury of another young star on the roster, like the Rockets.

    Gambling on Dwight is something the Rockets can afford much more than the Lakers.

    I ID'ed this hump the first day he showed up on our blotter. He's a loser. That we flirted with him (& CPO for that matter) is our mistake & our shame. These two beauties cost us (& the NBA Lamar Odom (CPO)) & our reputation (Howard).

    I agree with this but I have a feeling he'll want to be more than the 2nd option on offense. He still wants to be "the man."

    In all seriousness we're ed as an organization...absolutely ed. I am not big on doom and gloom, I thought after Shaq left we'd be back to winning les 6 years later, it turned out it was only 3-4 years later.

    I think this time it's going to be a solid 8-10 year transition to get back on track, thats what happened when Magic left and the organization was run by Jerry. More important than any trade or pick up, the Lakers got to get the FO organized and if Phil and Jeanie are not more involved soon then we can all sit back and watch the epic fire that is Jim Busses Lakers.

    It's the new CBA that will decide our future as the prior CBA defined our past.

    It cannot be like it was.
    It cannot be like it was.
    It cannot be like it was. {They} the Laker organization knows this. It's how they operate & execute on the new plane that will define our future.

    Mitch will be fine. We went all in because Dr. Buss was dying. it failed. this season will be another cluster . But we will get a good pick sign a good star from FA. And start to build brick by brick. No quick fix solutions ... unless James is coming which will never happen. Mitch cant get all the kudos and Jimbo all the blame. Mitch will right the ship. We just need to be ptient. Quick fixes is what screwed us in the first place.

    & in the interim I've got a Bulls style road block in the east with the Heat. As long as the Suns & the Spurs don't ring, or, again I can enter my house justified.

    It's like the movie Gladiator...the father was the legend, the son was the power hungry moron, and the daughter was the noble wise one who wanted to continue her fathers vision.
