Howard picks Houston, but wants a sign and trade for max money. The Lakers will only do draft picks and one bad contract. (It's always a bad contract in these situations, I'm guessing Lin) The Lakers also want 2 unprotected first round draft choices for the 2014 draft. Hopefully one of them is a lotto pick. Reason, 2014 is STACKED!! Even the 3 pick in the draft could be a future hall of famers. I am hoping the Lakers get into this. It's not in the Laker's culture to do the draft since James Worthy. But the Lakers do need this badly.

2.houston's picks would not be lottery picks

can't see the lakers doing a sign & trade anyway, nobody they get from houston would make them title contenders. they would be better served just riding out the next season with what they have and rebuilding after kobe's $30m contract expires. i wouldnt be paying luxury tax on a team that would be an 8th seed

1. This years lottery will produce ready to play NOW rookies. I'm telling you now, 2014's class will be the class like 1996 or 2003.
2. Let Houston know to get a package ready and trade with some lotto bound teams. This does two things, weaken's Houston and gives the Lakers lotto picks in the best draft of the last 11 years.
Also, why are you worried about wasting KOBE'S final years. You know what made the Magic Johnson pick great, the Lakers got him and they held him for his whole career. Same with Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, James Worthy, and they traded for a rookie Kobe Bryant. If you have a player who can be that player in the future, then you try to get them when they are coming up. Why wait 5 years when they are a free agent and there is NO guarantee you'll get them, when you can get a future franchise player NOW. Why wait until Kobe retires, the next time the Lakers get a lotto pick might not be for 3-4 years, and by then you don't know who is coming up. Right now the Lakers have Dwight Howard as the ONLY thing worth lotto picks right now. Howard is young enough to build around, and old enough to win now. He's the only thing a team will give up lotto picks for. We shouldn't waste this chance with the best draft in 11 years coming.
Your obsession with Kobe makes you short sighted to the Laker's larger needs. Life after Kobe and having a franchise player for the next 10-15 years, like Magic, like West, like Kobe. That's what makes the Lakers great, they always have the player, or they sign that player. And right now if you have an asset that can get lotto picks in return, you do it.

if you want to watch Kobe's last 3 years as a Laker with us rebuilding, then just start following the T-Wolves...you're not enough of a Laker fan to understand the greatness of Kobe and just how much he's meant to the organization. u think theres just another Magic or Kobe waiting around the corner? lmfao....only when Kobe retires u will realize just how spoiled we were. thats a once in a lifetime player...appreciate.
