OT: Howard to bolt from the Lakers?

[Shooter]

This would make my summer!

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard is set to become a free agent on July 1, and it is "unlikely" he will re-sign with the Lakers due to his issues with head coach Mike D'Antoni's system, according to a report from Chris Broussard of ESPN.

Why should he resign with Lakers for 4-5 years? Other than the extra money, he'd be playing with Kobe, Pau, Artest, and Nash?? Really - that wouldn't give me much hope or excitement either.

Be careful what you wish for. They could suck so bad they get Wiggins in next years draft, then have only Nash and Wiggins under contract to sign free agents.

More likely that they amnesty Kobe now? If Dwight leaves they have zero chance at a title so why have a guy with a major injury for $30+mil on your cap.

If we strike out on free agents I'd love for us to make a bid on Kobe, just to rent him for a year would be hilarious.

That's not just a "no", but a "F*&k no".
