Some of you Laker fans thinking Dwight Howard is going to want to be traded or sign with the Los Angeles Lakers due to the "Mystique" and Championships of the organization are utterly out of your minds.After the 80's that same level of "Mystique" didn't help the Boston Celtics what so ever. They were a below average team for another 20 years. Basketball cannot be compared to Baseball in this instance, sorry.
BTW, Howard is not going to make your team any better if you get rid of Gasol & Bynum. It makes no sense, D12 struggles on Offense alone will not replace what Gasol & Bynum currently bring to the table.
Get Over it Laker fans, D12 is not going to LA.
so amare and melo get there to give y'all a little bit of relevancy, and now you think you can speak boldly about other franchises?..........I can't tell you what to do, but try not to worry about what us Laker fans are thinking
First off, whether the Knicks are relevant is besides the issue, it makes no difference in this case. I'd "speak boldly" regardless.
Second, if you can't understand why I wrote what I did let me put it in layman's terms; the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA cannot be compared to the Yankees in the MLB, tell your brotherhood to stop those type of comparisons when it comes to acquiring caliber athletes. Obviously you seem like your standing up for the fool who tried to make the comparison so reread what I wrote the first time so things become clear.
Third, I made valid points and assumptions, most importantly they were unbiased. I don't care about the Lakers but I don't hate them either.
why can't the Lakers in the NBA be compared to the Yankees in the MLB? please provide a rational reason aside from salary cap.
the Lakers have the most titles in any sport in the modern era 1970-present, their down years are minimal compared to other teams in the league. while the Knicks, Bulls, and Celtics have all been bad for long stretches of time, the Lakers have had 2-3 "bad" seasons straight at most during this stretch and most of those "bad" seasons were first round playoff losses which would be considered decent seasons for other teams.
CP beat me to saying everything else i wanted to say tho
