    No Dwight in the post will help with space. We really need Horford. Still like Ryan Anderson being 3rd big.

    DMo is definitely the best passing big we have. We know he can play when healthy. Hope he signs with us but on a hometown discount with team option.

    I hope he gets as much $$$ as he can - and if that is here, great, if not, good for him.

    DMo's upper body is already strong enough
    All he needs to work on is core strength.
    be more balanced, less falling around..

    Yeah, his center of gravity is fairly high, he has to get low, drop that arse, same thing Yao struggled with.

    But his speed, intelligence and work ethic will always allow him to be successful wherever he goes.

    Oh, and he would be PERFECT under Mike D'Antoni.

    Is that a Laker's cap?


    yeah having muscles doesn't mean the foundation is strong...lots of bodybuilders have weak cores.

    Have you missed d mo's dear in the headlights look, or the get the ball and force a quick terrible shot or pass? How bout the way he plays defense when he closes his eyes and puts his hands up? Cut our losses we don't need afraid players on our team... Even if they are friends of wolves...

    I'd risk $10 mil/yr on a 2 yr deal (team option) if Horford isn't available. I wouldn't mind both truthfully, but we also need help other places.

    He could always sign a one year qualifying offer and become an ufa next year after proving his health.

    Hometown discount for a team that tried and succeeded in trading him...? There is no logical reason why he should feel loyal.

    As much as I hate saying this. He'd be a good fit in D' Antoni's system
