As with any team where age is a factor, injuries (or not becoming injured) may be the biggest wildcard of all this season for the Lakers.
I was way off on my prediction of how Howard's addition to The Lakers would elevate the league.
You were right about the wildcard factor, MS.
The bastard bails after one bad season.
Ah well, Lakers have Gasol and there's talk of snagging back Odom. Interested to see what next season's roster is going to look like.
I've never been a Dwight Howard guy.
He wants to be the Alpha Dog on his team, even though his offensive skills are slightly above average at best.
He's what I like to refer to as a 'stat stuffing' player, but not a winner
I personally believe the Lakers wil be no worse without him..
