    Well atleast we got a WCF appearance out of it. He was our best post season player in the years he was here.

    Translation Rockets already told him they won't pay him what he wants so he's going to the first chump that offers him 30 mil.

    Welcome back Cyber. Hope you are doing fine.

    If Dwight wants to be more showcased won't be surprised if the rumour about the Knicks is true. This way they can also apease Melo.

    Thank you oh holy cyberx. Dwight has played well for us when it counted, but I agree that it is time for him to leave. More cap space for us!

    This makes me happy.

    I'm really interested to see the who will be the next foolish team to give this guy $20m+ a season.

    I can't wait to get his face off the side of the TC garage. Legacy of bigs with Howard's picture is gross.

    lol @ wanting to be showcase. How about you make 2 jumphooks in a row before talking about wanting to be showcased. I'm glad he's going to be gone next year.

    Doesn't it always count? Don't you think playoff Dwight is a ridiculous notion? I mean shouldnt' he be playoff Dwight all the time? If he was we might have gotten the 1st seed last year.

    Dwight did make the odd comment about his new agent

    "I look forward to him helping me on the business side, and helping me on the court, too."

    paraphrased

    He was given ample time to improve and get his post up game going but he has no post up game. His FTs have improved this season but then again that is not saying much. Hoping for the best for Dwight with his next team.

    No surprise.

    Going to miss playoff-Dwight but definitely not regular season-Dwight.

    This^ The dude can't shoot, can't make free throws, has no post moves, can barely catch passes anymore, no longer plays defense. I think he's showcased enough. We've all seen enough.

    The real source
    =============================================================

    You can't pay him that money for a guy that is gold bricking in the regular season.

    The org needs to play to win and get that chemistry right before the playoffs.

    Dwight is done here, it is quite obvious if you look at it objectively.

    He failed, and his lack of will to win is the primary reason. You can't put a lazy unmotivated player like Dwight with an enabling coach, you need a boot in the butt guy to hold him accountable.

    Goodbye Dwight, and Good riddance!

    Yessssssss.

    Sick of Dwight's posing.

    Not sure if it helps or hurts our chances in F/A? More space, 1 less piece to entice someone...
