Don’t Fight it Superman

The spectacle going on now known as the Dwight-mare is really all for not. If you are not a sports fan or have been living under a rock the last month or so Dwight Howard has requested to be traded from the Orlando Magic. Specifically the Brooklyn Nets, however the Brooklyn Nets went crazy spending money on Deron Williams, Gerald Wallace and Joe Johnson. Then re-signing Brook Lopez and Kris Humphries pretty much put the Howard saga with them to rest. Now he is pretty much left with the option of the Lakers, Rockets or Hawks. He said he wouldn’t re-sign with any of these teams, but the problem is how he is going to get to Brooklyn who are way over the cap and lack the assets to trade for Howard.

As Jalen Rose has said this week on ESPN, the choice is simple it’s the Lakers and Howard should just put his ego to the side because he is putting himself in championship contention. Howard should see it as an honor cause he would be playing in the arena which banners of 17 NBA Championships and the jerseys of 7 Hall of Famers. Not to mention he’d be playing on the NBA’s first four headed monster along with Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol.  He would also be able to receive a max deal next year of $100million/5-years.

There is something about LA teams in which they have common themes. For example: The Lakers always have a dominant big man, the Dodgers always have great pitching and USC will always have good running backs (although lately the trend has been leaning to quarterback). Every great Laker Center has been like Superman, so Dwight come home to Krypton where you belong and put on that purple and gold cape. This decision is a lot more simple than it is dragging on to be, get a third team involved so that this deal can get done ASAP, and the victory parade can come back to LA.
