Dwight buys Los Angeles home for 20 million...

[All Net]

Mike Gabriel ‏@MikedupRadiocom
So, Dwight Howard just purchased a home in LA, for nearly $20M......and wrote a check for the house. #Boss #Lakers

Not bad when you have it ha

[rwfletch22]

I know we just traded for you
And this sounds crazy
Buy a house
Extension maybe?

[kobesabi]

He needs a playground to jell with his bunnies.

Sounds like he bought it cash...if so, he can sell it back whenever whether he sign the extension or not

[DirtySanchez]

Must be nice

[lakerfreak]

Wouldnt say an extension. I say he opts out, and signs with us for a longer term deal. Thats what the whole big deal was. He wanted to opt out to take a max deal. I think he re-signs.

[kobesabi]

So next season, Lakers are throwing away 4 of these to smaller markets.

One way though, if he hook up with some local LA star, then maybe he'll likely stuck here for awhile.

Is Dwight Howard worth the 20 million? I'm a Boston Celtic fan who only fear Dwight Howard's elbows. Dwight Howard's elbows is a weapon but it's not basketball... I can not be leave that basketball knowledgeable fans in LA are comfortable with his acquisition ? To tell you guys the truth , the Boston Celtics fear the 76er's aqusition of Andrew Bynum a whole lot more. Dwight Howard is a 7" western devision thug , Andrew Bynum is a 7" eastern devision center...Dwight Howard is going to live it up on the Lakers tab. A fool and his money is soon parted. Go Celtics !

You can say the same thing about Kevin Garnett.

Hey that's part of the game, a 7', 20/10 guy who's now primary an enforcer? I'll take that any day of the week. Let's not forget there are certain players (mostly NHL and NFL) who have gone into the hall of fame being enforcers their entire career. What type of players were Charles Oakley and Horace Grant? Why do you think Jordan wasn't injured every type down the court in Chicago? And then Ewing in NYC?

You can say the same thing about Kevin Garnett.

Are you kidding Garnett would never throw fisticuffs for anybody on his team. He would run around acting like he wanted to fight but could never see him throwing elbows (much less taking one) for his team... he is more a vocal leader.

Didn't Dwight already have a home out here though? I remember hearing reports of that before the trade even happened. Obviously this off season he was out here because of the injury, but I think he spends his time inbetween seasons out here anyway.

Well in his welcome intro interview, he mentioned something about no more hotels...so he probably didn't already before the interview
