I would do it, simply because I'm not a fan of Dwight as a person. Harden-Love-Motiejunas would be sooooo fun to watch.
I am dying for Dwight to turn it around, but I want to see the dog in him. Jeff Van Gundy used to always say that championship teams need knife fighters. Dwight used to have some passion and fire, but I haven't seen that all season. His attitude and demeanor is enormously concerning. (And Donatas Motiejunas migh be a stud C in waiting...)
Dwight will unleash in the playoffs remember last year? That Dwight we hadnt seen all year till that Portland series.
I posted a trade on this in the random trade thread... that includes the suns as a third team so that we could land Dragic.... we would lose in the playoffs because of defense and rebounding but it would give us the flexibility to go after Marc Gasol and keep Dragic I think it is a Morey move
When we signed Howard, I had two concerns about him: health and attitude. Last season, I thought he showed that I did not have to worry anymore. But this season, both concerns have surfaced again. I am worried. Some people say that we should wait and see how he performs in the playoffs. That seems wise. However, it also carries a risk. What if he doesn't play well, or continues to have health problems? His trade value would plummet and we might not get what we could get if we trade him now. I know the "sell high" thing has become a CF inside joke. But Howard is kind of like a very volatile stock. It could make you rich. It could also crash on you.
Dwight/TJ: to Cavs Dragic/Love: to Rockets Thompson/Capela/Canaan/NO Pick: Suns it works and we all get what we want after the season we can go after Marc Gasol and if we fail we just resign Dragic and pick up Deandre Jordan who is a younger version of Dwight who doesn't care about offense
I would trade Dwight for the following: Anthony Davis Pau Gasol Marc Gasol DeMarcus Cousins LeMarcus Aldridge
Nope.... I'd rather have D12 at center and DMo at pf, than DMo at center and Love at pf.... plus Love stomped Scola - so screw him!
You are underrating Howard's defense. Just cause he's been sucking at offense lately, doesn't mean he hasn't been impacting us. Love is a all-star level offensive player... but he's one of the crappiest defenders. If you wanna see scrubs going off on us, then Love won't fix the problem. He'll make it worse.
I voted Yes only if we can get a suitable defensive big from anywhere. Our long-term future can't hinge on Dwight's health or we're back to Square 1 before Double H.
Dwight is already declining and his knee issue might be expediting his decline. Yet we give him the damn ball in the post like he's freaking Hakeem. I would trade him for Love just for that reason. That's a $1 for 80c trade in our favor
What was Pau Gasol's playoff record before playing with Kobe? 0-12 right? I suspect Love would flourish playing with Harden. DD
