Kobe Bryant is such a douche. He says, "[Howard] has his way of leading that he feels like would be most effective and would work for him, and obviously the way we've gone about it with this organization and the leaders that we've had -- myself, Magic [Johnson] and Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar] -- we've done it a different way."

Does ANYONE think Bryant is a great leader? Doubtful. And Magic and Kareem never had to lead while dealing with a chucker like Bryant on their team. Shaq did and look what happened. Dwight Howard has issues, but I don't blame him for not wanting to stay in LA and play second fiddle to Bryant while he hangs on long enough to try to get Kareem's all-time scoring record.

Kobe tried to pass the torch to you Dwight, you just mishandled it and turned it over. Then he picked it up and tried to pass it to you again and you committed an offensive foul.

That was great!

if you're planning a coup on the los angeles lakers, you at least better show up on the court and give the fans something. not whine about everything and hope they'll dump a fan favorite. a post game wouldn't hurt either

This just in: Nets have signed. Kirilenko for mini mid-level, 3.1M per

They're doing all this just to lose to Miami in the 2nd round sounds like it's worth it.

The Nets getting the 3 seed is far from unlikely.

Nice to see an owner putting his money where his mouth is.

So it cannot be that AK chose that little contract just for the chance to win a title? OK.

Kobe would never be able to jump that high, but I guess Laker fans are allowed to dream about stuff that will never happen.

Drew Gooden is wavied by the Bucks via the amnesty clause. I think he is a good, cheap option for team without much cap space and in need of a serviceable big man. The Hawks should have waited and sign Gooden instead of E-Brand.

Ok, this old topic about the lottery system again.

I was in discussion on another forum about it. Personally I support having the lottery system. The hard fact is, it is next to impossible to proof a team or teams are knowingly and intentionally "tanking" for a better draft position. So I believe some sort of mechanism must be installed, or a signal must be sent to tell teams with bad W-L records that, whether you are on a tankapalooza tour or not, nothing is "guaranteed".

The nay-sayer said, doing away with the lottery or changing it would have little to no effect on how hard teams play. This tanking thing is overblown.

Your thoughts?

I'm sure that from a players standpoint, they're going to play their very best night in and night out. It's in their own best interest to.

From a team standpoint, I'm sure that some tanking happens. Isn't that what Boston's sort of doing with the blow up job that they're doing?

As a Milwaukee Buck fan I can honestly say that anything Drew Gooden gives you on offense, he'll give it away twice as much with his defense.

I know he has never been a defensive presence, but I just didn't know he had regressed that much over the past couple seasons, oh my.

It looks like Bynum doesn't want Dwight Howard to have all the fun by himself, when he returns to LA comes next season. Andrew Bynum takes shot at Lakers fans, just be careful with what you wish for, Andrew.

Quote

During Bynum’s introductory press conference with the Cavs, the former Laker took a shot at fans of the storied franchise in Los Angeles. Bynum said that playing for the Cavs would be the first time he will be playing in front of a fanbase that truly supports the team and players with passion.

Come on now. At least be funny if you're going to troll. The Lakers have plenty of great fans.
