Summary: Hope you had a chance to pitch Dwight Howard this week, because if you didn’t, it’s too late! So while Howard clears his head/weighs his future in Aspen — likely picking up one of these bad boys while he’s there (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41vvQEESlcL._SX342_.jpg) — we sat down for some jibber jab time to discuss it all. And after spending the opening moments recounting the less-than-Dickensian nature of our childhood, we hit the following high points… * The Lakers pitch to Dwight didn’t dwell on the past, and the incredible legacy of the franchise. Smart move, or a missed opportunity? * Which is actually the tougher decision, to stay or go? We react to a column by Ken Berger of CBSSports.com, expressing the (not uncommon) idea that re-upping with L.A. may be harder, at least initially, but would ultimately be more rewarding. “I just know that if he stays with the Lakers, he’ll put the NBA on notice that he’s finally figured it out. If he stays with the Lakers, he’ll take the first step toward repairing his image, proving his loyalty and entering the exclusive club of legends who’ve been made there,” Berger writes. “He’ll be signing up for something hard, something challenging to live up to. It isn’t easy to win championships and be great.” Is he right? * How does Kobe Bryant factor into all this? He says he’s playing for a few more years… does that make Howard’s return more or less likely? * Does he stay or does he go now? (If he goes will there be trouble? If he stays will it be double?) * We break down the two big trades of the week, involving the Clippers and the Knicks. One was great, one was awful, and if you don’t know which is which, it’s probably best you don’t run a team.
