New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Good luck with Dwight Howard, Lakers. Second time around.

Smart move making the contract non-guaranteed. Perhaps he'll work out this time.

Steve, you mean Andrew Bynum.

I guess I have Joe Biden on my mind

I ws jazzed years ago when Howard signed with Steve Nash and Kobe etc. The pundits predicted Lakers to win the championship. We all know how that went. Howard went absent and Nash went permanently disabled and the Lakers never won that championship

Howard has no way to go as the Grizz dumped him and the Lakers have him on a non guaranteed contract so he has to perform. The question is, can he still perform and what kind of shape is he in?

Those workouts must have been token for the other 2 guys as it took the coaching staff no time to say Howard is the man

I’m glad for Luke that nothing came of the allegations

Team USA World Cup roster finalized
Official release


Kyle Kuzma has called it quits so hopefully he is healthy for start of season as he is saying he will be the third choice for touching the ball. Plus I like Kuzma and would hate to see this keep him out of the season opener

I'm now nervous about possible injuries to these players. Hope not.

Dwight Howard returns to Lakers six years after departure


and so the drama begins.I didn't realize that Howard had spinal surgery. Also he's on a summer contract where he gets paid daily beginning Oct 21.

• Dwight Howard’s contract with the Los Angeles Lakers was finalized and it’s $14,000 a day. And the Lakers can cut him any time with no repercussions. Talk about a deal. For the Lakers.

Howie really must be desperate
But on the other Hand, I personally wouldn't turn down a 14k daily salary

Stephon Marbury had a heckuva a second career there, where they even built a statue of him.

You could buy the Corvette C08 in 5-6 days

Or work even a whopping 7 days and have some coins left for a few extras, like bucket seats, nose lift, some carbon interior and for gas and insurance
