    This will widen the huge rift between Dwight and Budenholzer.

    Maybe he's trying to force a trade. Hawks were so stupid to guarantee him $70 million.

    Quick, Morey, trade Ryno for Dwight. Get 'er done!

    He's gonna be our future stretch 4, making DMo obsolete.

    He needs to work on his three footer.

    I'm not sure Howard will make it past next season. Seriously

    Why not just expand his game by playing hard for every minute he's on the court instead of pouting when asked to play pick n roll? It would be a high percentage addition to his game.

    icymi in the Dwight thread, here's Dwight talking about it. Credit to @Fantasma Negro for first posting it.




    Exactly. I consider it a statement saying he doesn't want to do the high PnR like Capela and Jordan. I said in the other thread that my guess is once Shaq told him that real post players demand the ball in the low post and high PnR is for guys like Deandre who can only take lobs to score.

    I've always liked Dwight's collection of sportcoats though, as seen in the first vid ^

    What if it changes his career for the better?

    Dwight with a silky smooth 3 is a top 5 player. Think like a kevin durant

    He could be a top 5 superstar player if he learns to shoot 3s as good as a dude like ryan anderson. How do you guard that?

    exactly what i was thinking. that's how you adjust to the way the game has evolved. not trying to add a 3pter at this stage of his career. that's just pointless. he's going to be killing teams with the 3 ball? lol no never

    I'm sure you're joking.

    But I thought I'd point out that Pau Gasol shot 54% from 3s this year, after one summer of practicing. How many people know that? No many. You know why, because even at that efficiency, all teams let him shoot it, so he only did when wide open, resulting in just 104 attempts. He actually would have qualified for league leader, in previous years before they changed qualification rules to require 82 makes

    Even if Howard shoots at Gasol's blistering 54%, it didn't create space, because you didn't have to guard Gasol out there because he needed a lot of time to shoot....so you could recover on him anytime you actually wanted to.

    If we are ranking rockets by their sport coats, then it's Battier, Calvin, Horry, and then Dwight. He was good, just not in my top 3.
