Chris, please do an article explaining how the current Lakers team is 23 percentage points better, or the equivalent of 20 wins better, than last year’s roster. Losing Andrew Bynum and Sessions has to be the equivalent of at least 10% of the Lakers success last year (probably a lot more) so that would be 5 wins lost. That would mean that adding Dwight and Nash and the assumed residual upgrade to Kobe through more focus towards D and less effort dominating the ball would be worth 25 extra wins.
When the Heat added Lebron and Bosh they added 11 extra wins to a 47 win team. Can the Lakers upgrades really be worth 14 wins MORE than adding Lebron and Bosh?
This is becoming too drawn out of a situation. I would pull for the Bulls if they can pull that off—they should have landed Lebron before “the decision” and Howard going to Chicago would bring that extra experience that they need to take their regular season success deep into the playoffs. I’d also like to see it happen with the Lakers too, but that’s a different story. I agree that the Lakers won’t take the risk with Howard and the one year option.

What about those of us who hated him long before the “decision?” Hes a bad person and a bad ambassador to the league.
Dont want to see a player that bumps his coach… throws things at fans in the front row(a mother with her kid), a guy who will stare down a woman who’s asking for a high 5 at a charity game and just leaver her hanging instead of simply lifting up his hand, and I mean the list goes on and on. Some wild reports back from the Cavs days about when he would reroute the team plane or change its schedule to “party.”
I dont even have a problem with the “decision,” the guy is just classless.
