Dwight Howard was just traded to the L.A. Lakers. I think…?

In case you haven’t heard by now, Dwight Howard is apparently being traded to the Lakers.  Just ask Magic Johnson, Michael Wilbon, Talk Radio and any other talking head that was put into a spotlight this weekend to discuss the Lakers loss.  They honestly believe it.

Just pick up the phone, Mitch Kupchak.  That’s all it takes. Otis Smith will surely just say yes.  Come on Mitch… Don’t you know that Pau Gasol/Andrew Bynum/Lamar Odom/Shannon Brown/Joe Smith were ALL mentored by Otis since the day they came into the league? Mitch, buddy, EVERYONE knows that. Pick up the phone and make the deal.
