    How about we don't start with what Dwight is going to do, cause I'm sure at this point, he doesn't know what he's going to do.
    You don't have to create a straw-man argument. Nobody has said they think they know what Howard will do or even alluded to that. There are several opinions but nobody is presenting their opinions as fact. The consensus is that the situation is completely up-in-the-air.

    IMO, he doesn't resign with LA unless A. he gets more touches on offense or B. Kobe is amnestied and it becomes his team (very, very, very, very doubtful). They've had nearly 40 games to play together and it is absolutely not working out. If Kobe starts deferring to Howard sometimes or Howard accepts the role of rim-protector/rebounder and can be satisfied with scoring off of cuts/putbacks/oops it could work. Right now, it's not.

      What is Dwight going to do with more touches? He has no post game, he's a crybaby, doesn't know how to overpower guys like Spencer Hawes and Nikolai Vucevic, and can't get catches off p&r because of the rotations from the defense. Give Dwight the ball in the post, he'll take 3 seconds to figure out what move he wants to do, and eventually ends up throwing up some weak shot and misses.

        Kobe is not being amnestied. Pau is more likely.
        Ok you're getting at people for thinking we know what Dwight is going to do yet here you are acting like you know what the Lakers are going to do. Can't have it both ways

        I'm not saying I know 100% what Dwight is going to do but I THINK He'll leave the Lakers just based on his body language the subtle shots thru the media and the appearance that it seems like he's not having fun playing basketball right now.

            I agee he's a crybaby, but it's exacerbating the problem to not feed him in the post. There have been quotes all over these forums where he has asked to get more touches in the post. The answer? Let Kobe take 25 shots per game, even when he's on a 30% shooting clip like he has been for the past 3 games. Over that stretch, Howard has taken a total of 15 shots in around 29 minutes per game.

            Acting like he doesn't have any idea how to play in the post is ridiculous. When he gets the ball in the post, he's scoring at a 50% clip. He performs the best when he gets the entry pass deep in the post and can do his little hook or dive. He historically has taken around 5 shots per game from a few feet from the basket. This season? Under 3. He's shooting near his career average in FG%, but he's just not getting as many shots.

            If he was a scrub, they wouldn't have traded for him.

              Haha touché. I've lost that battle. But I do know my team very very well so that's probably where that comes from, so I'll guess I'll put my 98 cents in. I don't think Dwight will leave simply because there's no where really to go. The L.A. market, the money he'll be leaving on the table, the city and just what it is to be a Laker, regardless of how bad they're doing, I personally just don't see it.

In no way is this a good comparison but its like a 5 star CBF recruit trying to decide between Alabama and UCLA.
                The variable you're missing is that history shows that Dwight is extremely indecisive so it's really something no one can predict at this point. He may shock us all and sign with the Cavs or something.

                    A milwaukee native & Bucks fan here & im hoping for a Ellis trade. I think Jennings is safe in Milwaukee & the Bucks did say they will keep jennings beyond this season. Noe with Ellis he has played pretty good but at times can do the most cray shots u could possibly do & misses a lot. With that said Ellis can opt out his final yr & become a FA. Id rather move Ellis along with others maybe Ilyasova or Dalembert (expiring) to bring back a nice package or a borderline all star type of player for him. Was hoping for a deal for Rudy Gay but that probably wont happen

                            Good for Delonte, I think he'll be a good fit there. Good to see Walker get another chance, he played pretty well for the Knicks last year IIRC.

                                Grizzlies need Delonte. I'd love that signing. Dude is another legit scoring option who can get hot, and is an above average defender. Put he and Tony Allen out there together, lock down.

                                Can't believe Speights is as good as gone though. Dude is a talent.
