Everyone but Dwight realized this 5 years ago. I would not hold my breath waiting for him to finally figure it out.



Everyone except Dwight and Jeanie #stayD12 Buss.


It makes Jeanie's emotional pleading even more embarrassing in hindsight.

The crazy part about it is that Dwight would probably get along very well with our young core of teenagers. This summer is going to be nuts waiting to see what the lakers do

Nah, she does that for every FA.

I wouldn't put it past Kobe to be a part of this organization, even after retirement. Imagine Dwight messing around with the youngsters during practice and Kobe walks in with a glare.

She also begged Phil to marry her on live tv when she represented us at the lottery in 2005.

She's his fiance. Maybe after they finish growing up and get jobs they'll get married and raise a family.

Someone is gonna give him a max contract...or very close to it. Not saying Lakers should. But if Lakers offer him substantially less he wont consider it anyway. So sounds like a stretch. He will not take MLE...thats funny.

Personality and ego aside, I'd rather we pay $20 million+/year for Dwight than Biyombo. Too bad that a lobotomy would probably diminish his basketball skills.

Can we lock this thread? Howard has a lower chance of signing here than Lebron and Durant meeting in the Finals and then teaming up on the Lakers next year.

Now you can see the future, and you are running the board at the same time... Why do we ever need to express an opinion up here? You can just write a blog on everything that is going to happen next year.

I think it is a helpful nudge for D12 to opt out, but I think he was opting out regardless.

I can't see the future, but I can use common sense

Well if we all used common sense, there would be nothing to chat about.

I keep seeing this thread bumped expecting there to be some kind of report of interest, but everyone knows there is zero chance Dwight will wear the PnG. Kobe has a better chance of suiting up again than this guy coming back.

I'm okay with Dwight on a 1+1 max deal (mutual option on the +1).

Doubt he'd be willing to bet on himself like that.
