    No one left luked dwight. As soon as th season was over terry, dmo, ariza and brewer were bashing him in passive aggressive fashion. Hell even McHale said Dwight needs to stick to being a pick and roller

    The whole league is laughing at Dwight. Teams get rid of him like he has the plague and teammates throw a party to celebrate his departure

    Actually if you watched it, Josh Smith was the one who brought us back! The man isn't coming back to Houston! No one wants to deal with his BS again.

    Thats why he can only be 'situational' - as his skill set is needed...
    He had his share of turnovers for sure, but he was also top 10 all time fg %.. and the team didn't always do the best job on the entry passes - I think CP3 could change that.

    GSW have almost nothing to lose and a lot to gain if they can get Dwight on the cheap.

    For such a great shooting team that often struggle to rebound due to being undersized, Dwight's rebounding would get them second shots that would make them more deadly.

    As for the locker room, GSW has a well established championship locker room with many superstars and veteran presences, which is quite different from the previous scenarios in which dwight felt he was meant to be a key player on and off the court. Dwight will either have to accept his role or be cut. You have to have some importance to disrupt a locker room and Dwight wont have that. Nobody will care what he has to say

    Also he should realize that joining GSW would probably is only shot at getting a ring. He is no longer at the quality level of being a gauranteed starter on a championship team.

    GSW dont need Dwight but Dwight needs them

    To be fair neither of those teams were close to being playoff ready. Maybe just Atlanta.
    Like I mentioned earlier, Dwight needs work on his attitude. Still doesn't mean he can't help this team win as currently constructed.

    Okay. Still can't deny him coming off the bench behind Capela would push the team over the top. I know it's a dream scenario but I think CP3 could bring everyone together.

    i can pretty easily deny it bc he doesn't bring whats necessary or any new dynamic to put this team over the top against GS.

    He and Capela are basically the same. A few differences. But getting 12 and 10 from the bench would definitely get us past GS.

    exactly. so it doesnt do anything for the ceiling bc he doesn't add anything new like i said. and actually at this point DH's defense is worse on the perimeter compared to Capela so no its definitely not getting hou past GS.

    coachbadlee must be one of Dwert's baby mommas. Dwight pisses off most of the players he played with on every single team he has played for and we got coachbadlee over here going "Nah, it's on Harden... yup."

    We would go after DeAndre Jordan before Dwight. But it doesn't matter since Capela is our starting center barring some absurd trade

    No we wouldn't unless for some bizarre reason DeAndre Jordan gets bought out.
