ESPN is breaking most of this news


Doesn't care for D'AnToni or Kobe....but feels he and Kobe could play together alright in a different system. Doesn't want to be Kobe's sidekick for a couple more yrs. Doesn't care about the $30mil.


Not that any of this is surprising.


Lakers posted 2 huge Mural/Billboards saying...."Please Stay Dwight"....YIKES!


Teams will have to visit him in L.A.....Rockets/Dallas/Hawks then he'll talk with the Lakers.

He said he didnt want to be there from the start. The Lakers only gave up Bynum who is broken anyway so not a big loss. The thing that interests me is if the Lakers will swallow their pride and do and sign and trade or will their ego not allow that. The Clippers would do Blake Griffin reportedly do u guys think Griffin is a lead piece I dont think so

Pick his coach.

Dwight had SVG canned and left anyway.

Dwight is a mental midget man child who really can't be trusted. Pandering to such is never a good thing.

The Dantoni hiring was really stupid. I dont understand why they thought that coach and that style would be what Dwight wanted

I've said in the past (before LeBron went supernova) that if the league were to have a fantasy draft, Dwight is the first guy I would build a team around.
I'd like to emphatically recant that statement. I feel bad for whoever signs him. He'll have a much better season than he had this year, but it's just not worth the circus anymore.

I'm willing to bet his new contract will not have any player options in it...

Actually there were reports he'd welcome being coached by SVG again. I don't think it's about picking coaches. The Bobcats hired who I believe was the Lakers assistant he was really close to in Orlando.

I agree D-12 is super finicky and high maintenance but most Max Cats are to be honest.

The guy could of got what he wanted and ended up with the Nets had he not opted in. The stupid nets could of still got him had they not made that putrid Gerald Wallace trade

The idea that players are clamoring to play in MDA's system seems to be more myth than reality. Especially of late...

Dwight = sort of player Riles talked about in The Winner Within (i.e., talked about in terms of destroying a team).

Lakers will be smart to get rid of that manchild loser asap. Maybe they can S&T him somewhere.

What a joke. There are two guys I would like to see being a Knick even less than MElo, they are Dwight Howard and Dwight Hoeard. The dude is effed in the head. I hate these 'It's all about me" type players. He deserves to be coached by Isiah Tgomas and have Marbury as the PG.
TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

Yeah, that too!

And if he does I'll give him credit. lebron turned his cred around but dwight has to stop clowning.

Dude just had another baby with a differnt mother. Thats a personal thing but when you see guys like Lebron and Amare having kids with the same women and eventually marrying them its a nice thing and often a sign of maturity.

We can blast these guys but sometimes they grow up too.

Which leads us back to Dwight and where else can a superficial egocentric attention whore really thrive more than in the city of angels?

I'd like to see him with the clippers and the Lakers get Griff and Bledsoe.

I still would like to see MDA's system thrive as its pretty fun to watch. I always enjoyed the Amare/Nash/MDA Suns play and was hoping like a lot of fans it would be constructed in some form in NY!

Why else get Amare? That was then.

The Lakers didn't hire MDA for D12. They hired him in spite of D12. They know there was no guarantee D12 was gonna stay no matter who the coach is. D12 is full of ish. He can't play for SVG and can't play for MDA, well both coaches tried to surround him with shooters to clear the post for him. It's the same damn style of play but he's too dumb to notice it was the same setup. Who can he play for? He thinks a different system would allow him and Kobe to work better? The thing is that Kobe is gonna dominate the ball regardless of who is coaching. That's what he does. D12 wants to be the primary focus of the offense, but really he isn't good enough to be the sole focus of the offense. If he was so dominant he should've taken his team to the finals more than once in the weak East.

I watched nearly every Lakers game last year and I saw D12 flub TONS of passes to him, turn it over bowling over defenders, throw bricks off the glass, and miss tons of FT's. He's just an offense killer for the team he's on. He should've dominated in MDA's PnR offense, but he said he didn't want to set picks in the PnR, but preferred to post low, which is fine, except for how often teams clogged the paint on him and denied entry passes. SVG wanted D12 to focus on D and rebounding and he was right. When he does that he's a dominant player and it helps his teams win. He sulked last year when he didn't get the ball every time and then refused to hustle and that's something SVG was always on him about. Lakers shouldn't beg this clown to stay.

I agree. Dwight hasn't done himself any favors though. Leaving 30 million on the table does speak to how bad the situation is there though.

I wonder what would cause Dwight to give up an extra 30 million?
