Dwight Howard to Los Angeles Lakers Rumors

[I gotta go to work]

He'll be in Orlando until at least February. He may not even play a game untill January or later as he recovers from the back surgery. The Nets won't be able to offer Lopez in a deal untill mid January. My guess is that he is in Orlando until the trade deadline when he could go to Brooklyn, unless Houston comes through with a deal this summer that Orlando can't refuse since they are willing to risk it without an extension.

I think Orlando should keep him and then trade him to the Bobcats in February.

A Los Angeles Laker reporter insists Dwight wants to be a Laker and that he will re-sign with the Lakers and that re-signing and signing an extension are two different things. I'll post the tweets.

@JRudolphSports: As for the Dwight Howard stuff that was said while I was in the theater (sigh) ... There is NO flip-flopping. He wants to be a Laker.

 

@JRudolphSports: Dwight will re-sign at the end of the 2012-13 season, as I reported and repeated on the radio. Extending and re-signing aren't the same.

 

@JRudolphSports: If the Magic-Lakers talks fall apart it's due to the Magic unwillingness to pull the trigger on yet another deal. Nothing more to report.

 

@JRudolphSports: Lakers fans need not overreact to an attempt to over-report my initial story. Nothing has changed. Next step belongs to the GMs.

Well, somebody fibbing because Howard denies that he will sign an extension :lol:

[HammerTime]

His agent said he didn't say that. The Dwightmare goes on...

[SSC]

Because Bynum will not guarantee to signing an extension.

 

So what? Neither will Howard. Bynum isn't going to leave 20 million on the table.
