    In a vacuum it could make some sense for the Pelicans if they wre able to dump Asik and Hills deals (combined add up to 20mill per)

    But Dwight is a cancer.... why would they do it?

    Of course, hatred is all that matters.

    Dang even Pelicans players didn't want him. That's gotta hurt. $20+ mil for a 12/12 guy seems fair. Lolz!

    We paid 20 mill for a 14/5 guy who dont play D. At least Howards contract is a year shorter too.

    Dont be so quick to **** on that contract CF's lol.

    wow, his hometown team wants to ship him out. Think they figured out there is no way in beating the cavs in the east.

    I agree. I wouldn't do it, for the small and quick reason you stated.

    wrt your statement: "Everything does seem to be going small and quick these days" -- we hear this a lot, due to the Death Lineup. Is that really true though? How would you describe SAS and CLE, two of the top 3 teams. And OKC, both last year (final 4 team) and this year. And LAC.

    Excuse me for somewhat pulling your quote out independent of the thread at hand. But, I find this to be a very interesting observation of yours, and many others. And it certainly applies to HOU and other teams trying to break into contender status (Boston comes to mind, and Toronto). So, totally makes sense why you'd apply that to how to surround Davis. But how much does it apply to the true contenders.

    Funny you will even want to mention this.

    He is shooting the best FT% since he left Orlando this season. And of course, maybe you don't even know the rule changed on hacking this year and hacking is almost no longer a concern in most game this year.

    As for his post ups, watch the game and you will know.

    Honestly, the Bucks is a better trade destination. Possibly a big 4 with him, Giannis, Jabari, and Middleton. That can challenge Lebron right away. Hope it happens.

    Wow, 55%. That's impressive.

    He's also jacking up more jumpers since his Orlando days, 5-25 so far this season.

    Did you watch the Rockets last year?

    Dwight has earned it.

    Not sure how you can make this statement. DMo was shooting 2-2 in 3 pointers after 2 games this year.
