All true & things have definitely been altered but the money won't budge. He makes 1 of the worst decisions an endorsed athlete could make financially by walking away from a market like LA & its max money. Fegan/Adidas wouldn't advise that nonsense.
Howard's not going anywhere. He'll remain a Laker as expected.
Should've been clear as day for anyone paying attention when he opted in for ORL, that was a strategic move to get to LA by any means & a trade (not a signing) would only accomplish that. Should've been clear as day when Mitch...
Knew I was onto something :lol

LAL — Roy/Smith/Pachulia
ATL — Peace/Williams/Pekovic
MIN — Gasol
- Nash/Kobe/Clark/Smith/Howard
- Blake/Meeks/???/Jamison/Pachulia
• Blake, Meeks, Jamison & Pachulia (though I'd still rather trade Meeks because of the height disadvantage) off the bench then you flip Duhon/Ebanks+ for a back...
LAL — Miles/Walton/Speights/Smith
ATL — Gibson/Casspi/Peace
CLE — Meeks/Gasol
To match contracts, would only have to deal with Walton for a matter of months. ATL's not pulling another Joe Johnson paying Smith max & only a lowly (& stupid) franchise would grant him that with no chance to...
