Simply put, we don't have anything to talk about right now!
So let the fake trades begin. My favorite fake trade of the offseason is "Dwight Howard to the Lakers." When I hear this one, I just have to laugh out loud. Seriously? Are the Lakers trading Kobe? Because if they aren't putting Kobe on the trade block, this trade is not going to happen.

He makes a ton of money ($14.9 million), and his contract runs for another year. Those numbers are pretty good, until you take a look at Dwight Howard's stat line.
Howard puts up 22.9 points per game to go along with 14.1 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 1.4 steals. For good measure, Howard also shoots 59.3 percent from the field and dishes out 1.4 assists per game.
Howard is only 25 years old, and he is putting up superior numbers while facing constant double teams. Hey, Bynum plays with that Kobe fella, so his life is a little easier. What if Howard played one-on-one all night? It would be scary what he might do.
