Dwight Saga Continues

As promised, I will stay away from the Red Sox...for now.  I figure we switch to the news that is covering most of the sports world lately, the inevitable super team that could form in Los Angeles.

Since the Nets have officially bowed out of the race for Dwight Howard a new 3-team trade has started to be worked on. It includes the Lakers, Rockets and Magic.  The Lakers would of course get Dwight Howard, The Rockets would get the "Just as whiney" Andrew Bynum, and the Magic would get a bunch of worthless picks and players that would not add up to the talent of Dwight.

Yes you heard this right, The Lakers would only give up Bynum for Dwight Howard...Are you $%^&ING kidding me.  A co-worker (Channel 7 WVII's Sports Nut Brian Sullivan) and I were talking of this last night.  Think of the SUPER team the SUPER man would join.  I've already come up with their name "THE FANTASTIC FOUR"

  With the addition to Steve Nash, the Lakers will have an intense starting group with a half-way decent bench.  My Projected starting 5 (Of course if Dwight is traded) with last years important stats
          1. Steve Nash (12ppg, 11apg)
          2. Kobe Bryant (28ppg, 5rpg, 4apg)
          3. Metta World Peace (???Do his stats matter)
              (He has to succeed with this talent around him...Right??)
          4. Pau Gasol (17ppg, 10rpg)
          5.Dwight Howard (20ppg, 15rpg)


If they all mesh together, that, my friends, is an unstoppable force. That starting group mixed with a bench that includes Matt Barnes, Ramon Sessions, Josh McRoberts, Jordan HIll, and Steve Blake (some have to be resigned as Free Agents).  In the words of Brian Sullivan, "This could rival the Bulls 72 win team in 95-96 with Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Harper, Kerr, Kukoc and Longley.


Who cares if Dwight doesn't sign an extension with the Lakers after this one season, they (If all goes to plan) would go down as arguably the best team ever to play.  And think of the Finals match up between  Miami and LA (again if this all works out) , 7 games, bloody noses, broken limbs.  I am glad that I don't see the Celtics having a huge chance to win this year with what has already taken place in the off-season...They are a whole different story(P.S. I still have faith) I don't have time for at the moment. Maybe next time...All I can say is glad the Nets don't have a BIG THREE.
