So, does anyone have the slightest idea where Howard will be going for the next season? Rockets?

Who the fuck knows, i don't think he even does.

I'd say they're the favorite, but by a slim margin.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Apparently he's being courted by the Lakers, Rockets, Mavericks, Hawks and Warriors.

Honestly I wouldn't want him.

Yeah, unless you build a team around him like in Orlando I think he's not a good fit for many systems in the league, what with small mobile centers being all the rage nowadays. The year with the Lakers must have also damaged his stock, given all the trouble surrounding them.

The NBA is useless without the Zen Master.  Lakers made a mistake.

He retired, there was nothing the Lakers could do about it.

They asked him to return this season, then changed their minds.

They asked him to come back and he didn't accept.

They asked him to come back and he didn't accept.

AND THEN HE CALLED THEM RIGHT BACK AND WHILE HE WAITED FOR THEM TO RETURN HIS CALL THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS

The Larch

Woah, I see that you feel strongly about him!  :lol:

CountDeMoney

He's the Zen Master.

I liked him better in Chicago.

Yeah, the Lakers made a mistake.  But it wasn't their decision to play silly games with the Zen Master - although that didnt help.

Rather it was putting Howard on a team that wasnt going to run its offence through him; putting Nash on a team that couldnt fast break; and assuming that all these older players would be able to play the whole season without significant bench support.

The Zen Master is probably the best coash the NBA will ever have.  But even he would have been in trouble with this group of players.

Yeah, but in Chicago he had a player that only comes around every few generations.
