Summary: Less than one month remaining until Dwight Howard can officially begin talking to teams, which in turn will theoretically trigger his eventual decision regarding free agency, which will in turn trigger every other purple and gold domino still awaiting gravity’s pull. Until then, Lakers fans are left to play the waiting game, enjoy the wildly unpredictable Heat-Spurs Finals and revel in the excitement that is PuigMania (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/9341). And, of course, listen to the latest edition of ear candy. Among the talking points… * ESPN The Magazine crunched some numbers (http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/9357657/alex-rodriguez-paul-george-oklahoma-city-thunder-all-questionable-contracts-espn-magazine), and concluded the Lakers didn’t get much bang for the buck this season. Not sure math was even necessary to reach this conclusion. * What’s the commonality between the Lakers’ current roster and a proposed sequel to Top Gun nearly 30 years after the original? * We discuss BK’s post this week about the need to trade Pau Gasol (http://landolakers.com/2013/06/10/why-the-lakers-have-to-trade-pau-gasol/), regardless of what Howard’s eventually decides. Do the Lakers really have no other choice? What’s the endgame should they opt to say “adios” to El Spaniard? * Now that Kobe has settled his lawsuit (http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/9360162/kobe-bryant-memorabilia-lawsuit-settled-parents-apologize) (and thoroughly “sonned” his own parents in the process), which of the remaining Mambarabilia items eligible for auction would we personally want most? * How do we feel about increased signage and on-court sponsorship in future NBA games (http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2013/06/10/Leagues-and-Governing-Bodies/NBA-floor.aspx)? * This young lady (http://www.ketv.com/news/local-news/woman-valerie-midwest-bares-all-at-lincoln-nebraska-catholic-school-faces-charges/-/9674510/20460854/-/1493equ/-/index.html) has an unusual method of exacting revenge on ex-high school classmates.
