It’s better to have admired and lost than to have never admired at all. Remember that, Dwight Howard. Too much has been made of Howard’s decision to the leave the Lakers and, more pointedly, Kobe Bryant during free agency in 2013.

Here we go again. Related: Ughhhhhh. It’s not every year the Knicks have cap space. Rare is the offseason they actually have it. If they’re supposed have it, they tend to pull the trigger on a cap-clogging deal (see: Carmelo Anthony in 2011). If they do have it, they dream wild dreams—whimsical ambitions that typically [...]
