You won't find Skip Bayless in Los Angeles anytime soon.

After the Lakers made headlines by acquiring Dwight Howard in a blockbuster trade, many people went ahead and pegged the Lakers are the new favorites to come out of the Western Conference over the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs. However, ESPN Analyst and First Take host Skip Bayless still wasn't impressed.

Bayless still prefers the OKC Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs to come out of the West instead of the newly formed Lakers. He stated the following on his Twitter account: "Right now I rank the West: 1. OKC 2. San Antonio 3. Lakers. I still prefer Bynum to DHoward. So much more off skill, 4th q FT shooting."

Bayless has long been a harsh critic of Dwight Howard and has called him one of the most mentally weakest superstars in the game. He has also stated on several occasions that he believes Andrew Bynum is a better big man than Howard, so it's no surprise that he still isn't buying into the Lakers.
