    Skip is an idiot but he's right on this one he's super overated and his rebounding and defense is no longer elite.

    Not saying we would be better but I'm curious to see how this team would play with Capela getting dwights minutes and dwight getting the backup center minutes?

    One thing that is certain is the offense wouod be better simply for the fact that Capela can finish around the rim and catch the ball.

    Skip is smart. Statements like this bring ESPN tons of clicks/hits/viewers/controversy.

    i think we just need a fresh start. trade brewer, jones, lawson for other role guys. We can end up being last seasons cavaliers

    Who is rating Dwight so high these days? He may be overpaid, but not overrated.

    I think he means like all time.

    May be true. Howard is actually supposed to still be in his time for being a Center but he's always relied on uber athleticism. That's gone now. He doesn't really have skill to fall back on in his later years...

    The thing that has been almost worse than our underachieving disappointment of a season so far is the blowhards jumping in with unimaginative, uninformative hot takes.

    Your assessment is not that accurate. Capela is getting there, but he's not ready yet...

    I mean he's been saying this for years, it was true back then but Dwight is declining hard now.

    i think whenever people talking about stuff like "overrated"or "underrated", they need to clarify first what the rating is. otherwise it's a moot point.

    and keep in mind this thing often doesnt have anyting to do with how much a player is getting paid.

    My thoughts exactly. People have been dogging him for years now - I didn't think anyone liked him enough to rate him high enough for him to be "overrated".
