lakers must be the dumbest fucks in sports now, remember when kobe kept saying "we dont have time for howards shoulder to heal" thats when they should of feared.
BTW what did howard do in this years playoffs? ZILCH
they all knew from the getgo , kobe included, he was a duplicit, hypocritical asshole who didnt care about camaradery and winning. None of them is surprised. He never trult fitted in. You could tell just watching at their body language during games. You could tell howard was pretending to play well but never planned to stay.
And i said it once and say it again; wether he leaves or stay, lakers are toast for a looong time. It was the most logical option to leave, seriously.
