    DeAndre has been better than Dwight this series.

    I've been a bit underwhelmed. I'd send him off with TJones for Cousins if the Kings were willing to bite seemed the two sides were at odds after the Karl signing.

    When can Dwight opt out? I thought next year? Can he do it this summer?
    If he can opt out next summer and he is not injured then he will. It's the best time to be free agent.

    Yeah lol why not trade him for Wiggins + Rubio as well?

    With the huge increase in cap space, it was expected he would opt out to grab a pay raise and secure his final contract before retirement.

    This year or next? I didn't know he had a PO this year.

    That's a no-brainer of a deal if that's available. There's absolutely no way the Kings take that offer. But underwhelmed with what exactly?? Dwight has NEVER been a smooth offensive player, but his difference is felt on defense and rebounding. The problem is that DeAndre Jordan is good enough to negate his strengths. However, this team is completely hopeless without Dwight. He's our only shot at getting back into this series.

    Put Dwight on the Clippers and it wouldn't be fair.

    put DeAndre on the Rockets and he'd actually protect the paint instead of picking up stupid fouls

    Next year, cap increase is next year as well. He made that contract knowing there will be a huge cap increase.

    In game four only one out of three where fouls in the first half. I don't think it would have mattered in the outcome though.

    It's not just letting Dwight down he had 7pts and only 6 freaking rebounds in game 4.... and got ejected, he let the team down in game 4

    Dwight has the lowest field goal % for protecting the paint in the playoffs tho.........

    I see why people don't like him. Kobe was right, he is mentally soft and only plays hard in the playoffs. On top of that his bbiq is lower than my shoe size.
