The Dwight Meeting. Rumors, Tweets and Updates.

for all those GSW fearers, you got ask what is it in for Dwight in that deal?

more money? no
better teammates than Houston? Harden vs Curry, i dont think they have better
better management team? no
state tax? still in California
better big man coach? no
better med/train team? no, look at Curry's ankle and Lee's wutever piece of **** injure he has

Basketball operation is complex, and Houston got the better package than GSW

 

You are mostly right. LAL will only do a SnT for a bonafide star.

Klay/Harrison/Bogut. LOL yeah right.

Yikes. Kobe loves Harrison Barnes too. "Harrison Barnes, he’s like a little brother to me. There’s guys in the league that I definitely look out for and try to steer them in the right direction."

GS has the expirings to make the money work.

First, they Lakers get a talented cheap piece like Harrison Barnes and/or Klay Thompson who will help bolster their talent level for years to come without hurting their 2014 cap space.

Second, I think the Lakers can avoid much of the luxury tax even while taking back $ in a Howard S&T (will have to be $16M+ for contract matching purposes, I think). Specifically, they can do it by either trading Gasol for little $ in return or by amnestying Gasol.

Also, if the matching contract is Bogut's, he likely has some trade value and the Lakers should be able to move his salary.

 

LeBron has a taste of both winning and losing in the Finals.

He has no desire to go "backwards". He stays in Miami or goes back to Cleveland, I believe.

No way he follows in Kobe's footsteps.

 

Why do you think they're so desperate to re-sign Dwight?

 

Dwight can like Golden State as much as Houston all he wants, but he'll be in Rocket Red next week. The Lakers have no reason to SnT him to a division rival, not with them in luxury tax hell, and 2014 has Andrew Wiggins headlining the draft class.

 

Thanks for clarifying that this is coming from the GS side, and not from Dwight's camp.

 

Like I said as long as it isn't the lakers or mavs

 

Personally I don't believe it to be better for Duhwhite, and potentially very bad for the Lakers.

 

Lebron is not going to go for another rebuild around him process, he had Wade and Bosh and it still took him 2 years, to get him to leave, as little chance as it will be, it will have to be an already in place roster.

 

true.

 

I'm not buying it.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

If nobody thinks a S&T is even possible, why do Dwight and the Warriors even meet?

 

I also hope that Dwight wants to be here also

 

Well the GS reports mean that Dwight cares about winning. That's about the only positive thing to take out of that.

 

Maybe he will be in rocket red next week. How long before he starts angling for a trade to golden state because he got a hangnail from walking in houston?

 

Agree.

It's us or the Lakers still guys...

 

Agree.

It's us or the Lakers still, guys.

 

Or he joins the Rockets after Dwight joins...
