Los Angeles Lakers: Why They Need Dwight Howard Next Year
Brace yourselves, NBA fans. Dwight Howard free agency is coming. We saw it last year with the long drawn out free agency of Howard, which became known as “the Dwightmare.” He demanded a trade, backed off, complained about the Orlando Magic’s roster, talked about leaving and exploring free agency nearly the whole season, asked for a trade to the New Jersey Nets, signed an extension on the day of the 2011-12 trade deadline and basically flip-flopped so many times that the entire nation got sick of his indecision and...

Is Dwight Howard the missing piece for the Houston Rockets? (Photo by Howard Cheng/Wikimedia Commons) Last fall, the Houston Rockets took a major step towards contending for an NBA championship when they signed James Harden to a five-year deal after acquiring him in a trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder. The NBA, however, has transitioned into an era where having one superstar simply has not been enough to win a championship. Going back to 2000, every team that has won the NBA championship has had at least two superstars they have been able...
read moreChris Paul and Dwight Howard: Could They Change The NBA’s Landscape?
Chris Paul and Dwight Howard joining forces isn’t very far-fetched in this era of superstars teaming up to give themselves a better chance of winning a championship. The idea that they’d leave Los Angeles and extra money to do it is surprising, but understandable. Could this really happen? Are we looking at another possible super team in the making? Paul is upset with the Los Angeles Clippers in large part because they dragged his name through the mud in reference to the Vinny Del Negro firing. Being labeled a “coach...
read moreDwight Howard: Ranking 5 Best Landing Spots For Free Agent
With the free agency period right around the corner it is that time, again, for teams to begin to assess their needs and what they can do to become championship contenders for the 2013-14 season. For teams and fans alike, the possibility of adding a player who gives you the chance to make a run for the NBA championship is always exciting. Add Dwight Howard into the mix and you’ve created a recipe for drama throughout the entire free agency period. Prior to the 2012-13 season, the hype surrounding Dwight Howard’s free agency or, the...
read moreLos Angeles Lakers: Why Ego And Hubris Keep Them From Improving
In the NBA, it’s rare for a team to win without several superstars–or even one, for that matter, just ask Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder. So by that notion, the more talent you have, the better your team, right? Not really, because too much of a good thing, even good players, is a bad thing. Case in point, the 2012-13 Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers were among the favorites to win the Western Conference and even the NBA Finals. That is, until the season actually began. The 2012-13 Los Angeles Lakers’ season was marred by a...
read moreLos Angeles Lakers: Will Pau Gasol’s FAST Procedure Get Him Back To All-Star Form?
Just as it was for his fellow Los Angeles Lakers, the 2012-13 season was one to forget for Pau Gasol, as he recorded career-lows in points per game (13.7), field-goal accuracy (46 percent) and total minutes (1,655). Gasol struggled to get healthy and really assert himself with his new star teammate, so he couldn’t really get anything going since he was in and out of the lineup, taking part in just 49 games due to a litany of injuries. This offseason he’s taken steps to repair his body by undergoing the Fasciotomy and Surgical Tenotomy (a.k.a....
read moreLos Angeles Clippers: Breaking Down Chris Paul’s Top Three Potential Free Agent Destinations
Chris Paul will be the most coveted free agent this offseason. He is generally considered to be the best point guard in the league and his vision of the floor is unparalleled. After Paul’s Los Angeles Clippers were vanquished in the opening round of the playoffs by the Memphis Grizzlies, the question of whether Paul might leave the Clippers has been raised quite a bit. Will he stay and try to win a title with Blake Griffin or will he bolt and try to achieve glory elsewhere? Let’s take a look at three spots where Paul might head...

The Los Angeles Lakers’ disaster of a season has come to an end. However, the nightmare is far from over as free agency looms. Dwight Howard is set to become one of this year’s unrestricted free agents and the Lakers don’t really have any cap room to go elsewhere. The team is way over the cap and don’t exactly have the flexibility to go after the big names in the free agency. The only way to raise funds is to amnesty players like Metta World Peace, who is scheduled to make $7.727 million if he accepts his player option as expected, or...
