He won't retire after these 2 years if he doesn't win 2 Championships and surpasses the 6 Championships of MJ. If he can't win those championships he'll try to go for breaking Kareem Abdul Jabbar's record for total points in NBA history

Rotoworld reports that guards Steve Blake and Chris Duhon are on the trading block.

Rest in Peace Slater Martin. Minneapolis Lakers legend and one of the pioneer spitfire point guards. He was an essential part of the George Mikan lead Minneapolis dynasty. Constantly providing the back-court firepower. He later helped the Bob Pettite lead St. Louis Hawks in 1958 to win the NBA championship.

Martin is in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

Last night, the media flirted with the possibility of LeBron James signing with the Los Angeles Lakers in the summer of 2014. Some suggested that James will replace Kobe Bryant and team up with Dwight Howard. While some suggested that James could help extend Bryant's career.

The Lakers preseason games and record are looking like...well you know...
Is this a case of the team needing time to gel or a case of big names past their prime? Golden State are looking better and younger/fresher for instance... But Kobe is looking fine on the other hand and Dwight is still to start.

Dwight Howard could suit up this Sunday, provided that he gets a green signal from his doctor and the medical team.

I believe there's no need to rush things... Howard should take his time until he's fully 100% cuz if his back injury gets reaggravated that would really mess things up for the Lakers.

As a Kings fan, that would be pleasing to me.

But you're right. Going possibly win-less in pre-season games should not bother him. Howard needs to think for the long run. His health will make or break the Lakers.

Congratulations for reaching the 9000 post club. :P

Yeah for sure you'd like to see him going down

Hehe thanks... I think I would have to be constantly congratulating you on your posts which have broken all records known to man in the minimal amount of time you posted them in

Lakers have great potential this year, theoretically they can win the championship, but as basketball is a team-game it all depends on the chemistry they'll build...

Howard playing tonight making his Lakers debut.

And reports said the injury was bad that he can only return to court December or January.

D12 faking it all the while.

Poor Orlando fans.
