No way Dwight leaves LA. Not only do Lakers have Bird rights but they've showed yet again they will always find a way to construct contender—

 The Sixers willingness to deal Iggy and Harkless for a center shows how badly they want to finish in the top four. In fact a source tells me they were close to obtaining Howard in a three way trade including Iggy which is why they drafted Harkless so high. The Nets and now the Sixers are going after the division. Have the Knicks done enough?
