ESPN: Dwight Howard Reportedly Attracted to Omer Asik as a Front Court Partner?

Perhaps the one Rage Against the Machine lives in. He shoots 62.0% from the field this year, he only dunks 25% of the time. You do the math. Mine comes out: he has a decent jumper. I didn't say he was deadly, I said 'decent'. I'm glad you immediately compare him to Dirk Nowitzki on his jumper though. Clearly you have high standards for decent.

 

He was referring to him using this years cap number as his base. He isn't stating what the cap figure will be next year. No one knows...but it will most likely be 60+ mil

 

Greg Smith never, and I mean NEVER, shoots jumpers. The times he doesn't dunk, he just throws up his little jump hook from 4 feet.

 

This would be a good thing, but thanks for the laugh. That's right up there with Dwight's crayon uni.

15% of the time. Yeah, I agree that his jumper is rare, but he takes one every two games. My memory of him doing so is that his form is pretty good and he usually gets himself within a distance he's comfortable with. Basically what I'm saying is, when I see Greg Smith take a jumper I do not get that feeling that I wished he passed it up.

 

That would be a great situation because it would mean that we have two All-NBA caliber centers. It would be easy to trade one and get much in return.

 

If the Mavericks were able to make Tyson Chandler and Brandan "Todd" grin: I don't know why it's funny bit it just is) Haywood work I'm pretty sure we'll figure out a way to make Asik/Howard work.

 

Love this thread title btw lol

 

imagine that clusterfuk...

I doubt that would work, but would not mind seeing it happen

 

I can't wait till next months free agency

 

Twin Towers are making a comeback. (hopefully)

 

Wasn't Haywood injured most of that championship year? I thought that Haywood and Chandler never saw the floor together very much.

 

You jonesin' for the Sampson/Olajuwon Twin Towers? If through some amazing turn of events, we ended up with both Howard and Asik, the problem is that neither one plays remotely like either Ralph or Hakeem. Faulty Towers would be a more apt comparison, in my opinion. ;-)-

 

You're right about the $58.044 million number and I apologise for the error but in actuality all my calculations were based on a projected cap number of $60 million.

I believe the cap will be set around July 9th?

There have been wild speculation both high and low. The latest info. I found on it was from Larry Coon on May 24th, 2013.

Read about Coon's thinking here:

I don't think it will be as sexy as hakeem and ralph or yao and weatherspoon even but it could work.

And if you want to beat the south beach divas, you're going to need big men that can get away with a little more physicality on the defensive side.

 

From day 1 I have ALWAYS thought it would work. Howard can do a bit more on offense than Asik. The Oops will be much improved with Harden & Lin throwing lobs almost every other trip down. On defense it's gonna be hard to score in the paint


PLEASE HAPPEN!!!
