As if we didn’t hear about it enough last year, it seems that Dwight Howard still isn’t happy and he is making it known publicly. Last year, Howard made it very clear that he was not happy being on the Orlando Magic because they were not a championship caliber team. Most people understood his notion, but nobody could understand why this was top of the news every single day for months straight. It was possibly the most over reported story all year (and that says a lot because it was the same year as Linsanity and Tebow time). It seems we are in for another year of Dwight drama.
However, this time people might be a little more sympathetic. Maybe… Dwight is on an even worse Los Angeles Lakers team with a coach that does not believe in defense and will probably not go to the playoffs. He has not looked like the dominant player he was a year ago at all this season. He looks like he is playing hurt and in turn he is only hurting his team’s chances. If I were him I would beg for a trade as soon as possible. This Lakers team is acting like the New York Jets. The only difference is that the Lakers are actually talented, but nothing seems to be clicking.
Dwight Howard going to Brooklyn just has to be done already. I don’t think anyone ever wants to hear about Howard being unhappy in the city that he is playing in. Lock him into a ten year deal and leave us alone. If you are still unhappy then retire because no one will feel bad or want to pick up Dwight who is having an awful year coming off of back surgery. I expect the Lakers to miss the playoffs and the Howard sweepstakes to start all over again.
