Howard and Bryant-- this town ain't big enough for both egos?

[SilverSpur]

The Lakers needed to talk. So they did. Loudly. They held a clear-the-air team meeting before Wednesday morning's shoot-around, with Kobe Bryant very directly asking Dwight Howard if he disliked playing with the long-time Lakers star. "Guys went at each other a little bit," said a person who witnessed the meeting.

Bryant also spoke up, acknowledging he could be "hard to play with" and asking Howard if that bothered him. Howard's answer was unclear, though he did not engage Bryant in nearly as vocal a manner as Bryant engaged him. "He didn't go back at Kobe," said the person who witnessed the meeting. It was not known how long the actual meeting lasted, but the Lakers' shoot-around went an hour longer than expected.

Howard's head is way too small for his body, so in that aspect I think there's plenty of room.

"We've got an All-Star team," D'Antoni said. "Have you ever watched an All-Star Game? It's God-awful because everybody gets the ball, they go one-on-one and then they play no defense. That's our team."

Howard will be out after this season!

Where do you send a guy who, so far, has a history of not fitting in anywhere and makes a boatload of $?

Odom turned out to be a basket case and Bynum is a hairdresser in Philly.

Throw in the coach's ego too.
