and Mitch for not signing Dwight Howard or convincing him to stay are flat out wrong. And the Lakers fans that blame Kobe for Dwight wanting to leave are idiots. After watching him tonight and in the Warrior series play good for him and still get manhandled by smaller players proves that the Lakers dodged a bullet.

I can't speak for all Lakers fans but I'm pretty sure I was angry at Jim/FO for letting Howard leave without getting anything in return.

I knew they weren't going to get anything in return if Dwight Howard decided to leave. However, I am upset that didn't get much for Pau Gasol.

Overall, I'm glad Howard left because I think he's not a player who deserves the max.

Howard will be one of those players that can't get out of his own way to get to the next level. Kareem said it best that Laker fans shouldn't be worried after he left. Anyways, Towns or Okafor will be a better center than Howard.

Is Hakeem still mentoring him? I thought a change of scenery and pressure away from Kobe would've made him a winner? Guess not.

I am glad Kobe ran Dwight out of town, if that is what occurred? It was for the best. I dont see Dwight winning much of anything?

For the love of god, LET IT GO! There is no need to be sour grape over what he chose to do with his career. He didn't own the Lakers anything nor did he said anything bad about the Lakers since he left. Why the hate on the guy still? Before he injured against the Warriors, he averaged 18/14 with 2-3 blocks per game. I take that over any trash on the Lakers this season. So I don't get the hate on the guy!
