    Golden STATE warriors = DYNASTY BUILT ON LUCKKKKKY. They never faced a Healthy team or a non corrupt REF in the playoff

    They chased after all the losers like Howard, but got rejected by Losers.

    ccording to USA Today, Howard has chosen to leave the Los Angeles Lakers to become a Houston Rocket.

    The Warriors emerged from long shot to viable option after meeting with Howard on Monday. But despite adding swingman Andre Iguodala, Howard chose to pair up with All-NBA guard James Harden to become the next great center for the Rockets. Houston can offer the same four-year, $88 million contract the Warriors could offer but Texas doesn’t have state taxes, which means Howard can keep more of his money.

    That means Golden State will keep starting center Andrew Bogut.

    About an hour before this news, the Warriors have reached a four-year deal worth $48 million with Iguodala, multiple sources confirmed.

    All Dwight had to do was play the Capella role. Pick and Roll and defend the basket. That’s it.

    Right! Astonishing how much he insisted on doing the most zero-beneficial yet consistently disruptive behaviors. Behaviors you'd expect from the insecure guy in Summer League that thinks this is how he'll make the roster.

    Dwight was very good his first year here. Too bad his athleticism and explosiveness vanished very quickly in the 14-15 season. He just wasn't willing to adjust/adapt his game.

    How far Dwight has fallen, can't even get a 1st rounder for him.

    Definitely clearing out space for kyrie if New York is where he wants to be. If it looks like he won’t commit I could see them trading with Boston at the deadline.

    Don't feel sorry one bit for this guy. Even though he's not as athletic as he used to be, he can still be a serious threat defensively and on the boards. What a let down.

    How has 1 person been a huge cancer to so many different teams in 5 years?

    Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony are two great talents whose lack of self-awareness (or whose huge egos) render themselves irrelevant way before their times to retire.

    Tired of seeing the - he needs to pick and roll - argument. Believe it or not he's not good at rolling and finishing at the rim. There's a skill to it. Timing. Explosiveness. Nuance. He doesn't have it.

    Tired of people talking about his offense too.

    He can rebound at an elite level. His game is what it is. Live with it.

    Maybe he's the one who needs to live with it & accept it?

    I hope he does go to the Warriors. They need a dummy over there to ruin the vibe.
