Dwight Howard, pending approval by David Stern, is now a Laker. Dwight wouldn't sign a long term contract but I bet that championship culture that he will experience next year will convince him to stay put rather than bolt. Not surprisingly, Orlando did not get Andrew Bynum but a relative unknown 7-footer in Nikolo Vecevic who played a year at USC. This kid could become the next Beast at the center position and may be more coachable for the new Orlando coach. Remember, I said about a week ago that Dwight Howard would not play for the rookie Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn, but Vecevic will.
The Magic also picked up Aaron Affalo (15.2 pts) and Al Harrington (14.2)
both very coachable. Congratulations to the Laker front office for
getting it done during the off-season. This filled their two greatest needs: a
point guard, and a center that will play every game. Now if we could
only teach Dwight how to shoot free throws!
