    In all seriousness, Howard has played very well for us in the playoffs, in still one of the best centers in the league when it comes to defense and rebounding. If he wants to walk I won't be mad, but we better be damn sure we can sign a adequate replacement or at least use the money we save from him leaving meaningfully on another position (PF/SF/PG), as well a being confident Capela is ready for a big step up.

    I think we need to go a little younger, Howard health risk and age related decline is too serious to bet the bank on.

    We all ignored the warning signs. But they were definitely there.

    Let's hope dallas ignores them too.

    Hope Clint gets that free throw sorted out over the summer. No reason he won't be in the running for MIP next year.

    As long as Howard isn't on this team anymore. Just bring in guys who play with grit and no quit.

    Crazy to think at one point I thought of Chandler Parsons being on the same level as Klay Thompson

    Parsons and Howard will both be on the bench the entire season with serious injuries and the Mavs will still have a higher seed than us. But y'all laughing.

    Parsons, Cuban, and Howard will be on twitter or instagram sending out photos of Dwight and Parsons signing their new deals with the Mavs this Summer. Have a great time in Dallas Dwight.:grin:

    That would be awesome, I hope Dallas signs all of the broken players to max deals.

    I'm still not able to hate Dwight, and i think i never will.

    But i never liked him that much as a player, the fact that he didn't want to play through his strengths for all his career has always been a huge hole in my view...but at the end i was hopeful that working with McHale and Hakeem while growing into a veteran would have made a difference but eh...


    That said i still think there's a good chance they both end up in Orlando.

    I see Parson is still recruiting to stay relevant as a player.

    I would LOVE this. Tie up all their cap in an injury prone Parsons and Dwight. Dwight's athletic dominance is over and he has zero real skill.

    I just want the Rockets to face them 4 times a year. Would be fun to revive the rivalry.

    They probably have a shot at him. I mean, is there anyone better at signing a guy that he wanted 5 years ago than Cuban!
