In a move designed to soothe the wounded psyche of Lakers fans all over Southern California, the Lakers front office is allowing all fans to trade-in their No. 12 jerseys in exchange for an authentic or replica Aaron Hernandez jersey, who Lakers fans feel disgraced the Patriots by murdering someone less than Howard did by leaving their team via free agency.
Lakers fans, devastated in the wake of horrifying news that Dwight Howard was leaving for Houston, have been left soul-searching ever since last week’s bombshell.
