08:09 AM ET 06.15 | New coach, old star ... and a new Superman? Amid the confusion of a Lakers postseason dominated by an embattled new coach and a disengaged old star, a bit of real hope has emerged. It showed up Monday on the other side of the world. It came from the mouth of a guy who plays on the other side of the country. Yet it was a clear nudge upon slumping Lakers shoulders, a giant wink from the NBA's best center to a team that could turn him into a champion. While touring Italy, Dwight Howard told reporters, again, that he would not sign a contract extension with the Orlando Magic and planned to become a free agent after next season. Lakers, that's your cue. Lakers, do you need to have it dunked on your heads? Trade for Dwight Howard.

If Im Olando and they offer Bynum then I say ok....But for every game Bynum misses can we borrow Kobe for those games and can Howard also sit out those games....LA land is about to do nuts on this....

LA is a historically logical destination for Mr. Howard. But Comrade Prohkarov might have other ideas--Brooklyn beckons...

Orlando can't win next year with Dwight Howard. Lakers need a facelift. Match made in heaven. Do it alreay Thorpe. You have nothing to lose here. Personally I don't think Dwight Howard is a championship player so if you can get Bynum, Odom, Artest... please do it. Do it to the glory of Gloria.

I believe you make a move if your the Lakers. Bynum and Odom have been great for the Lakers and have won championships but you have to entertain this situation if your the Lakers. Bynum may become the center that every team wants but at this point you have a polish Howard and you have to take a look at acquiring him if he's available. This is not a knock on Bynum but this is business. Odom will be missed but when you have Ebanks, whom I believe will make Odom expendable if Ebanks is given time to play and develope will be what the Lakers need to continue their championship run. The most important piece beside obtaining a player like Howard is also acquiring a speedy point guard. Reddick will keep teams honest and stretch the floor but you need that speed and quickness to contain the opposing team speedy point because Fisher can't do it anymore. I would give it a serious look if I'm Lakers management.
