The Dwightmare returns....who will he sign with?

I hope Houston

 

80% chance he returns to LA

15% chance he comes to Houston

5% chance he goes to Dallas

 

100% I dont give a **** where this scrub plays. He has regressed just stay away and say no to DWIGHT!

 

Definitely should have a Dallas option in there, although I still say he ends up in Houston next year.

 

I have no idea ....



I dont think he returns to LA. He needs a fresh start and needs to choose his destination to satisfy himself. LA is just in too much turmoil right now.



I cant make up my mind if I want him in Rocket Red or not ... the talent is obviously there but he just doesnt seem to have that competetive drive that makes players great.

Nine years in , he has his worst statistical season since 2005 , his second - still hasnt improved FT shooting and has a few post moves.


Sure he's an improvement over Asik but is he $11m in cap space better ?! They are much the same type of players when you get right down to it. Howard just does most things better .

You arent going to run the offense thru him like some of the greats - Hakeem , Shaq , Robinson ,Yao and others. Those guy's had go to post moves and with the exception of Shaq shot FT's at a high rate.

Howard , much like Asik is going to get his points on putbacks and off of assists. You arent going to throw it in the paint and tell him to go to work.

I think it's 50-50 Houston or LA.

Before tonight I thought its was more like 80-20 LAs way, but after seeing the press conference be looks done in LA

 

He has regressed and he is still arguably the best center in the nba right now.

 

I'd rather have Marc Gasol, but I'd still welcome Dwight

 

How about we sign Dwight and trade him to Memphis. How pissed would Howard be

Honestly tho Dwight's non Asik butterfinger like would be so good for us

 

Dwight isn't going to think,"ZOMG!!! Screw the $30 million and Hollywood! I'm going to Houston to play with the rising Rockets!! Wait a minute, there's no state income tax? LYK ZOMG!!!

Nothing is guaranteed in this league in terms of winning. Dwight got traded to LA with hopes of being a top team, but we all know how that turned out. You might as well go with the guaranteed money.

 

Every HOF Center that went to the Lakers won a ring, theres a track record. Houston has?

 

Reality folks..

Would you rather have the guy that is the gym rat; rarely injured, team player, consistent, no headaches, solid in what he does, getting better each year, cares about what he does, is a TOP 5 center now, costs you roughly $8 mil a year.

OR-

A straight up diva that takes no accountability, hasn't improved his game, has thrown previous teammates and coach under the bus, needs constant attention and approval, costs you roughly $18 mil a year and could cost the team another great player at 10 mil with his cap hold.


The choice is obvious. Go Asik all the way and upgrade in a different way.

 

He's like, "get this nonsense outta here!"

 

Some of us have seen them both play.....

Some of us are also tired of Harden and Lin getting an extra turnover a game because Asik can't catch for ****.

 

Brooklyn Nets are out of the race

They are 4M+ in luxury tax, so they're unable to get a player via sign and trade. New rule in the CBA, punishment for tax payers. It will be activated july 1 2013

I dont disagree with you .... Just that everything Asik does , Howard does better.


I cant make up my mind one way or another.

If Asik can improve his hands ..... but I dont think that likely , coordination you either have or dont.

Howard ... if he can improve his competetive drive .... but I dont think that likely , you either have the heart of a champion or you dont. I dont think he does.
