horford averaged .3 points per game more despite not playing with a ball hog like Kobeand we all know demarcus cousins is a joke.
I have figured out my best case situation.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.
houston have one first round 2014 draft pick, and thats likely to be near the bottom of the 1st round ..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
