Excellent.
Excellent.
It happens enough for it to be a consideration.
I haven’t followed this story closely so someone help me out here.
In related news, dwight howard will be out ive games after watching this gif.
This play sums up chris Paul’s biggest flaw as a player, actually.
People keep mentioning Boston but I can't see it. That team lays aggressive, relentless basketball. They run and force tempo and spread it out and get open shots. Howard would cog the offense up something fierce. Plus, he's Dwight Howard. I don't see Danny ainge being a Dwight fan.
Ffs. Philly already has three lottery pick centers. Why not add a fourth?
Why would the rockets make this trade? They don't need to trade him for expiring contracts because Howard himself is a free agent this summer. It only makes sense to deal him if you are getting assets. Otherwise, just let him walk.
You are correct. He doesn’t help any good team because he wants to be featured on offense, only he’s not good enough to be featured on a good team. Next summer he’ll end up getting signed by some desperate shitty team and they'll build around him and max out at 40-45 wins. Someone like Denver or Milwaukee or Phoenix.
Dwight has more value than just getting back rubbish or expiring contracts, even as a rental. Denver got two #1s last year for Timothy mozgov.
Boston can give them a package like Johnson-jerebko-James young that theoretically improves the rockets tomorrow while not stripping the Celtics of anything they really need.
So you think Houston has to attach something to Howard to get rid of him?
Surely Houston can do better than that elsewhere. The deal would be something like Amir Johnson, jerebko and James young or Rj Hunter.
Kobe/LeBron would have been devastating. Perfect combination, really. LeBron, as dominant as he is, is deferential and unselfish by nature. Putting Kobe beside him, much like Kobe and Chris Paul together, would have been unbeatable.
Um, Kobe wasted two years of his prime playing with smush Parker, Chris mihm and kwame brown. That’s why he wanted out of la in the first place.
This post is so weird and forced and apologetic. Reads like you were dared to write a story defending cam and you don’t even actually think he’s worthy of defending here.
A real victory for the white man here!
How did I know you’d react like this.
Deadspin always leads the any in creepy “journalism”.
Or you are just a negative person who watches sports to take your frustrations out on famous/rich people
