		<description><![CDATA[Sounds like Josh Smith wants to be a Laker alongside his friend Howard.  Sounds like too many fools are on the trade Pau bandwagon.  I just hope Dumbtoni is fired so we get a real coach and that Trash Nash and Steve Flake get traded away so we get a great young point guard.

Go Lakers!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dwight knows it doesn&#039;t get any better than the lakers. He wants to win, well the lakers give him that chance. He wants to make a hundred million, well stay in Los Angeles. He wants to be in movies, commercials, you can do that too. U want to play with the second best shooting guard ever, great. LA is just waiting for Dwight to take a public stance and committ to us so we can commit to him. It&#039;s hard to back a player who isn&#039;t willing to just man up and say I&#039;m a laker. No one is going to care if he says I am a laker, but I&#039;m waiting til summer to get more money. Everyone of us fans would do the same thing. S just say it Dwight...we are waiting.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[kb, how many banners has Dwight helped his team raise? Kobe is getting older and Dwight is not, and may never be, an offensive threat. Dwight needs an ELITE, fiery PG (or strong team) to keep him motivated and lead him. We all know Dwight can&#039;t lead, it&#039;s not who he is. When Kobe fades I just don&#039;t see Dwight hanging banners as a primary option on ANY team. I&#039;ve said before that if the Lakers are rolling, hitting shots and are in a rhythm, slow them down by fouling Dwight. I can&#039;t see why any coach wouldn&#039;t do this unless they don&#039;t have front court depth. Dwight is not lazy either. Loyal athlete? LOL!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@clownsfan
Dude, &quot;fans&quot; like you crack me up! You come on here and say stupid stuff like &quot;L.A. can have him&quot; because you know your favorite team has no chance of getting him. Because if they did, you wouldn&#039;t be so dismissive, you would love to have him. Guys that can give a team 20-15 &amp; 3 every night don&#039;t come along very often. Yeah, Dwight can be a little flakey at times, but as long as he&#039;s not out getting into trouble, and helping the LAKERS hang banners, we don&#039;t care. Must of the crap in the media is just that anyway, CRAP. The LAKERS are finally starting to come together and we&#039;re hearing less and less negativity.]]></description>
