We all know Dwight can put on a different face in the media. Who can forget this gem Watch the first 1:30 then skip to 3:15 [youtube]y08gvGpGCwA?t=195[/youtube]
Absolutely !!! Can Dwight catch an alley oop and slam it ? Yep. Can he post up and score...not happening. Why go inside to a guy who can't post ? I mean HE CAN NOT POST Up...PERIOD !!!!
Ive only read the quotes...but it definitely sounds like hes opting in. Hes going to try and improve his health this off season, then come in and use the year to change his reputation. He won't get a max either way...but likely gets an extra year, at a significant amount, like this.

Again Dwight can set pick and roll anytime he wants too, we have a free flowing system I never said he shouldn't get the ball at all. He refuses to set real picks and play like he should. He is not an offensive player so no the offense shouldn't run through him anymore than it should run through Corey Brewer. He admitted on national television to quitting when he didn't get the ball in the post, there is no getting around that.
TNT should do this more often with current players. This was amazing television. Private mentoring session on live TV.
Stan Van Gundy said years ago Dwert needed to worry about defending and rebounding and seconds like Dwert wanted him fired.
Dwight is a walking stat padder. He makes so many mistakes and can't really play in the post compared to smart b-ball IQ bigs like Bogut and just about any other formidable big in the league. Verdict, it would be best if he would opt out or in to be signed and traded for a more competent big that tries.

Thank you JA. He says all the right things, exactly what I said earlier. Even when people know he's lying. On top of that he's not that smart so he basically gave away things. Like "I didn't play hard when I didn't get the ball". Cancer.
I watched the whole thing on live television. He admitted to not playing hard when he didn't get the ball. Im sorry to burst your bubble but it's what the hell he said.
It's a win-win for the Rockets. It's why he wouldn't opt in before the trade deadline. And he's not getting max money here.
