ESPN Breaking News: Dwight Howard Trade To The Lakers (08-09-2012)

[@brandonuntouchableingram1660]

Old sports center was the best

[@ianbenjaminii987]

crazy how Nikola the best out this trade

[@mr_w_9647]

I remember everybody thought they where going to come out the west and challenge the lebron lead Miami heat 😂👎

[@100briancooper]

Now look now. Howard and Lebron playing together about to win a ring against the miami heat

[@cjvaye99]

bottom line is this team was done in by injuries. I think the starting 5 only played like 5 games together or something crazy like that? If they were healthy they would of been a legit contender I really believe that.

[@IvanRaeAbines]

LeBron led Miami Heat whose supposed to win not 1, not 2, not 3 but 7 championships?😂 As per the self proclaim!

[@diablocls55]

Lol funny how well this worked out but we resigned Dwight 7 years later and he won a championship with us 🤐

[@NobelB24]

Now he a champ 💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@rubenrivera1496]

Huge moment at the time Eventually Turned out to be a disaster

[@youngrizzle2003]

Not every team got screwed Orlando Magic got afflalo and vucevic 2 breakout players

[@isaiahleung3899]

And now 6 years later He's Back!!!

[@Ravensfan842]

Somehow the Lakers won this trade even know Dwight Howard only play two years two separate times and got a championship out of him

[@MCEntreri]

funny, every team in this deal has officaly gotten the shaft out of this.

[@Spiqaro]

Nope. Dwight worked out.

[@BHTSGOHARD]

To be honest Dwight wanted the game to go thru him when he got to LA and that’s never been how a Kobe Bryant lead team won. Kobe wanted Dwight to play like a real center dominate the paint get rebounds and be effective on defense. When Dwight didn’t get the ball on offense every play he would disengage Defensively also.

[@egghead37able]

Worst trade ever! Everyone lost the trade!

[@RbiTriples]

Watching this in 2019. I’m sad :/

[@isaiahleung3899]

You should be happy cuz he's Back!!!!!

[@Only1Originals]

This deal really didn’t work for any of the teams involved lol

[@ssjdeshawn9343]

Were dwight career went downhill

[@carlsagan2607]

Inknow it didn’t work out but I gotta admit that the magic got screwed over

[@NOCallerID00]

Nah vucevic was a monster

[@zDeftones]

Time flys by i fucking hate it

[@Rallow7]

When every team losses the trade

[@ridn123]

And now he’s a laker legend

[@lakerstr8killurteam]

no.

[@Ai14106]

Howard's back and lack of motivation led to LA's failure for 8 years

[@ddiddy171]

Wow the best player the lakers got in this deal was.....Earl Clark! lol

[@Mikero407]

Horrible trade man

[@dannycooper8253]

What an epic failure lol lakers suck and bryants career ended in shambles.

[@russmcgruff216]

Danny Cooper got 5 rings & better than Danny Cooper😂😂

[@dannycooper8253]

Lavance Doss Yes he does have 5 titles.....what's your point? Does that disprove his career ending in shambles? By that i mean the last few years. It's funny how people who make reactionary comments think that they are witty, yet they have no information and have no clue about what they are talking about. You know what though...it's okay i don't blame you (sort of) because my comment was very vague, let me explain EXACTLY what i meant. "What an epic failure" that was referring to dwight howard and that entire year....i still can't believe that it didn't work out because you had at least 3 stars or all stars together and you couldn't make it work. "lol lakers suck" To give you some context on this, i am and have been a HUGE lakers fan for a while but their decisions for the last couple of years have really pissed me off and that was me giving them tough love. "and bryants career ended in shambles." So naturally i am a huge fan of kobe bryant, this was more of a reference to jim buss and the abysmal job that he did the last couple of years of bryants career to set him up to be in a position to realistically compete for championships. When the last thing that i can remember about kobe is competing in a final regular season game that didn't matter and scoring 60....instead of playing in the finals...then something is wrong. I would have wanted him to at least have a CHANCE to pass or even meet jordan, but because of the laziness and arrogance of jim buss, it didn't happen. I don't know what to make of your comment though.....better than danny cooper?.....Yeaaaa he is also better than lavance doss and always will be....what's your point? I guess one comeback that i can use is, "I (danny) am better than you (lavance)." But that would be very ignorant considering that i dont have a clue of who you are and dont know the first thing about you...and also....what is the point? What does "better" even mean....and even if it means what you think it means...still what is the point? To my eye it achieves nothing that is positive...therefore it is useless and redundant and means nothing. I'm going to guess that a response somewhere along the lines of, "LeBron James is better than lavance doss." Is the response that i am supposed to give?......I fail to see the point.......? The two emojis are redundant. I hope that clears everything up for you.

[@DiegoTooGuapo]

Danny Cooper His career ended like it did because of the acl tear. Not to mention everyone else that got injured throughout the team. This team could have been a lot better but the injury bug tore it apart.

[@robtaggore9931]

ain't nobody reading all that shit you crybaby bitch

[@yuejin1776]

aug 9 my bday

[@Mikero407]

Magic should have gotten a better deal for howard, at least should have picked up Andre Iguodala I mean my lord .. Al harrington an Moe harkless? Lmaoo

[@matthewadair9783]

Howard coulda went to OKC

[@SeanRankin2]

Lousy trade that amounted to nothing

[@ФранцискоФранко-щ9ч]
