Howard trade

Was really happy to see the Philly press conference for Bynum (an J-Rich). Drew really seemed to be happy with it all, and the fans were awesome. Hopefully it works out for both parties.

How good was the crowd reaction when he said he'd like to stay?

Not trying to be too cynical, but the guy does get cold pretty quickly when it's not going his way. Really hope he lives to his potential there and grows with Turner and Holiday, it'd be great for Philly.

Yeah that bit in particular stood out.

He can be pretty on and off, but I hope being recognised as the franchise player (which would never happen on the Lakers) gives him more pressure to perform and not go through periods where he's in cruise control.
