    The player getting the most attention on the Los Angeles Lakes media day? Dwight Howard, being the new big name in town, although no one’s quite sure when he’s really going to play.

    If signing Steve Nash was the first signal of the changes that might occur in the Los Angeles Lakers offense next season, the speculation about the addition of Leandro Barbosa, who was Nash’s backup point guard during the Phoenix Suns best seasons in the previous decade, throws even further in the evolution and reconstruction of the Lakers offense.

    Right now, Kobe Bryant is focused on winning his second gold medal and trying to convince everyone that the 2012 dream team is better than the 1992 version.

    The Houston Rockets, via their poison-pill contract, have ensured that Lin will be one of the highest paid players in the NBA in 2014-2015, earning just under $15 million that season. While financially Lin’s presence will probably pay-off the contract, he’s not that good.

    Those of you who were surprised to see Steve Nash give up on a chance to end his career with the Phoenix Suns, instead opting to play for the Los Angeles Lakers for money and a better chance at at an NBA title were probably just as surprised as Ray Allen in Miami Heat uniform seems to be a done deal.

  • Steve Nash’s Statement Leaving the Phoenix Suns to the Los Angeles Lakers
