the offical dwight to the lakers thread

[Ritzy Sharon]

Denver is the big winner of the trade as reported getting a star in Iggy while offloading negative win producer Al Harrington for the cheap price of Aaron Affalo and a Pick. This bumps them to contender range (52+ wins) with a very young team. The Lakers manage to bump back up to contender status as well and do get the franchise center for the next decade in Dwight. Philadelphia manages to change a great small forward for a great center, they can’t however counteract the self inflicted Nick Young and Kwame Brown wounds.

Orlando apparently decide to roll out the Andrew Wiggins welcome mat and fly the white flag for the next couple of years.

Regarding the original topic, even though the trade is great, they aren't going all the way this year. I give em 2-3 years before they see gold.

I was just listening to the Max & Marcellus show and they were overhyping the Lakers signing of Jodie Meeks.

Talking about his great defense.

Everybody is sleeping on how deep the Lakers bench got.

Duhon/Blake
Meeks/Goudelock
Jamison/Hill/Clark/Ebanks

Jamison, Hill and Clark will get Dwight some rest.

Duhon also gives them another much needed ball handler who can facilitate.

That's what's overlooked,u can't say we got a worse team than last year with the addition of howard and Nash and we wuz a fluke away from winning the championship....the lack of a bench is what's cost us the past two seasons really....whenever starters would come out the lead wuz automatically killed...remember the killer b's....look at these nikkas now....I woulda liked to get Odom back and Nate but u can't do it all

Mitch Kupchak telling Mike Brown about the Howard trade:

I know Jim Buss is and I know Coach [Mike Brown] is. When we told him yesterday after we had the conference call I told Mike I thought we have a deal”

“He looked at me and asked ‘Who we’re getting?’”

“I said ‘Dwight.’”

“He said ‘Who is going out?’, and I said ‘Andrew’”

“He said ‘That’s all?’”

“I said, of course, “Josh, Christian, draft picks.’”

“He said ‘No Pau?’”

“I said ‘No Pau.’”

“And he jumped out of his chair and hugged me.”

The Lack of outside shooting was more detrimental, and that was a problem for the starters as well as the bench.

Nash actually solves more problems this team had than Dwight does.
