wow cant stand howard but makes the lakers look even better

Lakers getting Howard is great for them but I think its the addition of Nash, Jamison & maybe Meeks is more helpful for their quest of another championship. Howard basically just replaced Bynum who is not really useless.

I can't wait for the season to start...

i hope both the lakers and heat get smashed

Not true, Howard, apart from his back issue of rescent, is less injury prone than Bynum and a better defensive player.

This season hopefully is a great one, the good teams are great but there is such a big gap to the rest.. Who will have the league best record?? Philly should be really strong, great coach, miami got even better and the celtics will still be there abouts. Lakers will be right up there, spurs will somehow fo what they do and be up there and will be interesting to see if okc can back up there great season. Come on november!!

OKC has been on the UP for the last couple of season. But the Lakers might be stopping them from getting back to the finals.

Now let the game begins.... in around 3 months time....

It'll also be good to get back to a regular season of 82 games....with training camps and a full pre-season of warm-up games. The impact of missing those elements (or having them significantly reduced) can not be measured and therefore renders the championship won by Miami as illegitimate as it wasn't a true and traditional NBA season.
