Being subjected to the coward for a full season I now know why people said he's not a franchise player.
Sometimes numbers and things look great from the outside from limited viewings.
The one thing he does is change the game on D. He can change shots and he's dominant, but his shot blocking is horrific when you consider he just pounds it out of bounds.
I understand I sound butt hurt right now, but he wanted to be traded to Brooklyn, LA or Dallas.
He would have been good for the D, but his offensive game is bad real bad.
The drafting has been bad and it's time the lakers start drafting more players. I think right now they are going to squeeze the Kobe era and get as many rings as possible by loading up on free agents. This is the same predicament the flames where in with iginla, do you rebuild or do you try to win a ring. I kobe case he has been a winner before and I think he can win again surrounded by better talent.

His offensive game might not have been that good on the Lakers, but they misused him in a big way (or as Lakers say he didn't try to fit in). However, he is the best offensive center in the game, that is not an opinion it's a fact. You can blame him all you want, but D'antoni should have tailored his offense to having the best big man in the NBA. Howard doesn't need to make a 8 footer, he is unstoppable on the post where he should be seeing the ball all the time.
Without getting Lebron, there will be no more rings in LA for Kobe and I don't really see them getting Lebron.
