Can Dwight Howard Make A Difference In LA?

Big question. Can Dwight Howard make a difference in LA? My answer is an interesting NO.

The Superman is just a mature version of the behemoth Andrew Bynum. What Bynum lack is media publicity. He is not as imposing as Howard but he can match Dwight toe to toe in strength and toughness.

The trade is a bad trade. Let's say that Howard is at the top of his game. But that's it. When you are on the top there is no other way than down. And the Superman has only a few years left at the helm.

And Andrew. He is just priming. And that is the scary part. He is young, huge, has a better touch than D.Howard and lots of potential still in the bag.

But that is LA. They crave on those superhero images (remember Shaq). Andrew is not that of a magnet.
NO Dwight Howard does not make a difference inside the court but rather outside of the Staple Center nevertheless. I'll bet soon he will get a movie offer. Maybe in the Avengers 2...interesting!

Will Steve Nash Give Kobe Another Ring?

Now that Steve Nash is in L.A. can he blend with Kobe to bring another championship to the Lakers? That is the most anticipated scenario if you are a Lakers fan.

Can Stevie fit in and deliver immediately since Nash himself is not getting any younger. Of course he can be a reliable back up for more years but not anymore a daunted starter.

Kobe is not a catch and shot guy so he does not need much of a Steve Nash anyway. What Steve brings to the Lakers is leadership and respect of the big headed stars like Kobe and Meta World Peace.

It's no secret that Kobe runs the Lakers inside the court not Coach Mike Brown. Coach Mike is in the process of earning Kobe's respect.

And, uh, there is the Superman. Well Dwight Howard is another piece worth discussing in an another article. But one of this years' interesting question is "How will Steve Nash help the LA Lakers win another ring in the NBA?"
