  Dwight Howard Not Happy with Mike D’Antoni 

  

  To no one’s surprise, Dwight Howard isn’t happy.

  Superman is often found smirking and joking around, but he’s not genuinely happy. Not with the Los Angeles Lakers, specifically Mike D’Antoni.

  According to Dave McMenamin of ESPNLosAngeles.com, Howard’s exit interview with general manager Mitch Kupchak comprised of him expressing extreme dissatisfaction with D’Antoni and all he stood for:

  Howard was one of several Lakers — Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol being the most noteworthy — to have an extended separate meeting with the GM after his exit interview with both Kupchak and D’Antoni, multiple sources confirmed to ESPNLosAngeles.com.

  Spurs have changed a lot since 2011 loss to Grizzlies 

  When the Spurs started the 2010-11 season with a 17-3 record – on their way to a conference-best 61-21 finish – Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated profiled a team that no longer resembled previous San Antonio squads. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili had played together under Gregg Popovich since the 2002-03 season, and…

  George Hill injury jeopardizes Pacers’ identity 

  The puzzle pieces have changed, but the picture of the sailboat they form has not. Under Frank Vogel, the Pacers have relied heavily on their starters. Between them, George Hill, Lance Stephenson, Paul George, David West and Roy Hibbert excel in all areas of the court, offensively and defensively, and really balance each other. But…

  Steve Nash / Lakers report card: Steve Nash couldn’t overcome injury riddled season 

  This is the third in a series grading the Lakers’ efforts on their 2012-13 season.
  
  Player: Steve Nash, Lakers guard
  
  How he performed: 12.7 points on 49.7 percent shooting and 6.7 assists through 50 games
  
  The Good: When he was actually healthy, Nash showed plenty of remnants that makes him one of the best NBA point guards of his generation. His season averages (12.7 points on 49.7 percent shooting and 43.8 percent from three-point range, a 92.2 percent clip from the free throw line and 6.7 assists) are fairly similar to his last year in Phoenix where he averaged 12.5 points and 10.7 assists while shooting 53.2, 39 and 89.4 percent, respectively. Nash also decreases his turnovers with the Lakers (2.5) compared to his last season with the Suns (3.7). Add all those numbers up, and Nash managed to become the fifth player in NBA history to collect at least 10,000 assists

  Dwight Howard plans to “clear my head” before deciding future 

  Dwight Howard is a free agent and he has waited for this moment. He played out his contract, he has earned the right to choose where he wants to work. He’s not going to rush this. While the conventional wisdom is he will re-sign with the Lakers, he is going to look around. Eventually. But…

  Echoing Nash, Kobe says he wants Lakers to bring back Gasol, Howard 

  It’s this simple: The Lakers players believe if management will bring this core with Mike D’Antoni as the coach for one more season they can make a serious run at a title. Those Lakers see themselves as the side that went 28-12 for a stretch once guys started to get healthy and found a style…

  Steve Nash says he wants Dwight Howard back with the Lakers 

  The biggest question facing the Lakers this summer isn’t the health of Kobe Bryant, and if he’ll be able to make it back in time for the start of next season. Undoubtedly, it’s whether or not Dwight Howard will decide to return to Los Angeles. Bryant is the Lakers’ most important player, obviously. But next…

  Ten players to make you restructure NBA’s 50 All-Time greatest 

  Back in 1996 — the year the baby crawling on the ceiling in “Trainspotting” gave us all nightmares — the Association released its list of the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players. It was undoubtedly a strong list. Nobody on the list is weak. We could quibble around the edges about who should have gotten in, but…
