Starting spots are earned not preordained, especially for a guy who wasnt that good for the majority of last season.
JM better come ready to fight for a starting spot and be ready to fight for a 🏆, because nothing is give-in in the nba. |
Well last time all he had to do was pout and the Lakers traded away the person that won the starting spot from him.
With that kind of situation it's easy to understand he thinks he's destined for that starting position.
Dwight's a better version of him so if he pouts if Dwight wins the starting spot from him, the solution is trading him.

There’s no reason to waive Cousins now, wait until we need a roster spot.

he'll most likely be back next year for the min(low risk, AD's boy) so makes sense to keep him around the team |

GREAT! - as long as D39 doesn't start jacking up 3s.

He won't...and actually Green should think twice about launching 3's himself. |

Dwight's gonna be dangerous if he can be any version of Draymond.
He's already an elite rebounder...
I'm aware that he's an habitual sooth sayer, HOWEVER I'm at full mast right now over this up and coming season.
We got one of the best athletes in the league saying he's ready to start doing all the dirty work to win....

I bet Draymond is going to (bleep) talk Dwight all season for "hating" him lol.

-says every coach of his.
The talent has always been there. That is not disputable. Prime Dwight was a problem for teams. It's post-prime Dwight that needs to come to terms with reality.

Sit-down @Stadium interview with @DwightHoward: On believing he would never be a Laker again, battling LeBron for years and now teammates, playing center next to Anthony Davis (or even being the water boy) and much more.
I’m sorry guys I don’t know how to post the 10 minute video. But please if anyone had any doubt where Dwight’s head is at watch the video. Do it with an objective mind and see what u think. I think he’s genuine and he’s going to have a very productive year for us. Yes I’m rooting for him cuz I think he’s very important to our success and I just want this team to win |

I’ve been down the road with Dwight saying the right things too many times to believe this will be different. He’ll have to show it on the court and off it with his teammates and coaches. Regarding his comments about his first Lakers stint, I so wish for once he can just take responsibility for how he handled the whole season. It’s easy to do and would go a long way. But he just can’t do it.

I’m not gonna speak for any one but I think a lot of fans are willing to give Howard a chance to prove himself, it’s obvious that he looks genuinely more excited and focused then he was when he 1st got here because of immature issues. |

Since Dwight left the Lakers, he has been to the conference finals in the west. He has been to the playoffs four times IIRC. He has been an all-star a few times. The Lakers have had zero all-stars aside from Kobe, and zero playoff appearances. He left at the time because it was clear that the team was not going to win anything in the short term and then in the longterm there was not a good plan presented by Jim and Mitch - and others at the time who there. People act as if he went to play on his own team. He went to play second fiddle to James Harden. Now he has failed as a championship second fiddle, and that is something he needs to accept. Being a role player on a championship team is something he needs to adopt or he is out of her. But I do not blame him for leaving, not now, not way back then. |

I don’t blame him for leaving either. I’m glad he left. My beef is with how he conducted himself while he was here. He never owns up to it or takes responsibility. It’s always a long missive about how injured he was (because Dwight is a misunderstood hero who gave it his all) and that everyone had an ego (see? It wasn’t just me!)
It’s never him. At every stop. Every team. It’s always circumstances or misunderstandings or miscommunications and he’s always eager to find others to share the blame with. Just own it dude.
