At this point, the only thing lakers can do to even make the play offs ,is bring shaq back. They are utterly pathetic this year.
each team has a min and max salary cap, if Portland so chose to rebuild around Howard and alredge they can crunch enough numbers to make it so. What I like about the trade is Portland is the perfect city for Dwight, move would kick start him as the sac town trade for cwebb did for him (IMO) plus I think the rook lillard has enough moxie where Kobe would respect him, la has a great young pg who can extend Kobe career and carry on as the franchise player, he can be very good in Portland but la would make him a star (IMO)
Dwight is so fucking soft and tender...send his crybaby ass to the Nets where wants to be. Fuck the lakers by the way
