The Dwight Meeting. Rumors, Tweets and Updates.

All I know is that I want to own the liquor closest to Morey when D12 announces GSW.

 

Lakers position is really bad in any manner, unless they can resign Dwight.
That Luxury tax is a killer for sure.

Houston seems like the best fit after all

 

Sources- Dwight can't decide. Will sit out season.

 

Better. Dwight is joining forces with calderon, villanueva, stuckey and monroe in detroit.

 

right... in the 20 years of recent history

You mean the Larry Smith that wasn't fond of Yao?

 

You know what would suck about Dwight to GS more so than us not having him -- what the Laker would get in a sign and trade would make them good, probably even give them a great new foundation.

If GS give LA a pick, Bogut and Barnes, not only are they pretty solid for next season (probably in the playoffs, even with Kobe's injury), they get a good young player in Barnes (who I thought was going to be a bust, but looks really good so far). Now, come next offseason, they are a great destination for free agents and have the cap space to acquire them.

I do not want to see that happen.

If Dwight comes here and the Lakers get nothing then they are a trainwreck this season -- that I would love to see.

 

"I'm taking my talents to the Motor City"

 

I literally just said this same thing out loud to my 13 year old son sitting by me following all this

 

Is Dwight using the Warriors as leverage to get us to replace Lin with Calderon?

 

Lakers are not doing a sign and trade in their own division and no team are taking bad contracts from the Warriors. I know this to be true.

 

Repped.

 

Yes, the same Mr Mean and it did seem like a lifetime ago.

It's no coincidence that when Dwight Howard to Houston rumors started heating up, there was a subsequent Jeremy Lin for Jose Calderon rumor. (https://twitter.com/AlexKennedyNBA/status/352969189985755139)

 

That would be stupid just call Morey and tell him lol

 

This golden State possibility is real. The Luxury tax the Lakers would have to pay by doing a S&T is still around 80 million dollars, even after they amesty Pau Gasol. the Lakers might actually amesty Kobe to avoid the 4 dollars to 1 Luxury Tax for repeat offenders. Letting go of Dwight Howard would probably be the smartest thing for the Lakers to do to avoid 80 million dollars in Luxury taxes.

 

I really need to stop refreshing this thread every 5 min. No substantial Dwight info probably until tomorrow.

 

Well, with Curry/KT performing extremely stellar in the POs who are also both great off-ball and catch-and-shoot guys, I'd prefer GS to Houston with only one star who is over-dominant with ball and exposed in the POs. Frankly, the chance of winning in GS is better as it stands, if Howard goes in a s&t for Bogul+Barnes.
Howard/Lee/Jefferson/KT/SC with JJack/Biedrins/Ezeli.

 

this Dwightmare gets weirder and weirder

Rockets go from the Dream to the Nightmare.

 

Alex Kennedy = garbage

Dwight doesn't even know who Jose Calderon is.
