    so the nets is in talks with DW for a buyout. DW states he wants to play on a team that's is going to win.

    So far we can basically predict the GSW, Houston, Celtic, possibly Lakers (if Lebron joins) to be the forthrunners for next season NBA championship.

    Now both Lakers and Houston has traded DW away. Would DW sign with either of us?

    Personally, I think we are at the bottom of DW list as we still have Harden and DA. Kobe retired and their organization is basically different from when he was there.

    Why would the Rockets want Howard?

    I wouldn't touch him for the minimum. I don't think people realize how bad he is at switching.

    Or in the locker room. This team is tight and driven. No room for people that aren't aligned with that.

    If anyone actually advocates for Dwight joining this team or thinks that it’s something that should be considered, they should have their basketball card revoked immediately.

    Dwight doesn't play defense. He's big so he gets a block here and there, but as we saw in his last season with us, he is unwilling to step out and even try to defend anything outside of 4-feet from the rim. He's just trying to get rebounds. He stuffs his stats to try to stay relevant. I know he can still move, he's just lazy and selfish.

    Definitely DO NOT WANT.

    On the other hand, I WOULD LOVE IT for the Warriors to sign him. We thought Ryno looked bad? Wait till we force Dwight to switch onto James. Lol lawd!

    Why would we want a notoriously bad teammate and a cancerous player like Dwight who is hated after every stop he has been on?

    Send his ass to GSW... the perfect trojan horse that will blow up their chemistry in one season.

    Amazing that he can average the stats he does and no one wants him.

    He's still a good player and if he joins Golden State he will help them against most teams.

    A player like Dwight is only really a problem if you run a complete switching defense (like we do) or you play a team that will force switches to go iso (like we do.)
