Dwight will go the way of Stoudemire if he has to get microfracture surgery at this point in his career. I'm sure he and the team will do everything possible to avoid that. Let's get him that thing where they inject German plasma into your knees!
That is exactly what popped in my head when we said bone on bone and that he was still in pain.... Ugh.... DD
If Howard can play out the season, at this level we can compete. This explains all the "coasting", but we can surround him and play to his strenghts.
Chicago has one significant weakness......wing. Given their strength at PF/C, I could easily see them trading Mirotic for Deng straight up. The problem is that Miami doesn't want or need Mirotic.......which is where we come on. Deng back in Chicago gives the Bulls a great rotation going into the playoffs: Rose / Hinrich Butler / Dunleavy Deng / Dunleavy Gasol / Gibson Noah / Gibson
This is just awful news. Microfracture surgery will spell the end for Howard. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
Agreed. He doesn't have "skills" that will play well if he doesn't have athleticism. Devastating news if true.
Terrible for Howard, but also for the Rockets - it would be Yao Ming all over again, can't catch a break. Maybe it is time to build from within instead of looking elsewhere for guys with lots of mileage on their bodies. DD
They started trying the big line up against us. Noah - Gasol - Mirotic - Butler - Rose. Mirotic having the 3pt shoot did allow them to do it since then. I haven`t checked again, but one week after our game it was working. I`m still skeptical that under the "new" NBA they would go again to Deng. Old people and Thibodeau are not the best fit because of the usage he gives to his players
Notables born in Houston: Jimmy Butler, DeAndre Jordan, Daniel Gibson, Gerald Green Former Rockets we might want back: Aaron Brooks, Goran Dragic, Courtney Lee, Kevin Martin Looking back at the past 5 years there's not too many players I would want back (that can be had, obviously excludes players like Kyle Lowry.)
