According to a source close to Howard, D’Antoni and the Laker system isn’t his biggest concern. It’s the fans.
In conversations with Howard, the big man reportedly called L.A. fans “the most unappreciative group of people ever,” going on to say that people in Los Angeles are “ungrateful.”

Just saying what everybody knows, tbh. LA fans are 2nd worst in the league.

No matter what he does, Dwight is probably not going to be the player I thoght he was going to become. He is highly overrated, a slightly better version of Ben Wallace withot the heart.

Amen. Brother. Not saying the guy is not going to be good, but he will never be what he was athletically and his offense was suspect anyway. Enjoy the HOuston humidity, Rox fans good luck, if true.

Other blessing besides overpaying him, is Rox may still throw a draft pick or two to get him his extra year, PLUS if we are rebuilding Kobe has to realize he has to take less to get another star in hereand there is no need to rush him back. Package Pau, tank city for next year's draft and Free agency. I know Lakers never TRULY tank but they may not have a choice ...

Honestly, Laker fan should be happy to lose his sorry ass. You never know if he's going to be healthy again, so committing 5 years and $121 million to this guy would be a nightmare.

Some updates from Dave McMeniman of ESPN LA radio:

- He believes Broussard is completely wrong about D12 preferring Mavs over Rockets. Believes Rockets are a clear favorite

- Dwight wants to play along side Harden but has some concerns over the Houston system

- He will return to the Lakers if they hire someone other than Mike D. He believes that the commitment to Mike is the reason he wants out

He believes that the commitment to Mike is the reason he wants out Obviously D'Antoni doesn't inspire confidence in anybody, but the real reason Dwight wants out of LA is because it's impossible to play with K. Bryant. The guy does nothing but take bad shots and control everything, yet D'Antoni won't stand up to Bryant. They're letting an old, over-the-hill, and injured player dictate everything, and it's just too insane. So Dwight is not having it.

Howard came back from back surgery before expected and rushed to play for the Lakers. He played injured for the season and he got better by the end. He was actually real good in the Lakers run for the 7 seed.

he's right about Lakers fans. The guy played hurt and dealt with a coach that didn't use him and Kobe that wants to use him like Tyson chandler. They still killed him for everything he did.

Lakers fans hate Gasol all the time. They all hated Shaq more than anybody. They even hate Magic now cuz he said Lebron is ahead of Kobe in history:lol. If you ain't Kobe, Lakers fans will eventualy hate you.

Howard averaged 17 ppg because he played next to the greatest chucker of all-time. Put him on basically any other team and he averages 20+ ppg on 60% shooting. Pair him with an elite swingman who is willing to share the rock and who can handle closing games (i.e. Harden) and that is a very solid combo tbh. Youre either stupid or delusional if you think Howard isnt capable of more and that he wasnt being held back by the Kobe system in LA.

Id take Howard over Marc Gasol 10 times out of 10 tbh. As for Timmy, there aint no shame in not being as good as a borderline Top 5 player of all-time imo.


Dwight has no offensive moves tbh. If you count put backs, alley oops then sure. He was the main guy in Orlando. The whole system was catered to him. Dude couldn't even hit the 25 point average barrier.

So what? Timmy averaged over 25 ppg like once in his career. He may not have a polished post game but hes a freak...his athleticism and size alone make him a dominant post presence that demands double teams, and thats the reason Orlando ever had any success. Those same great shooters wouldnt have had the type of looks they had if he wasnt in the middle. People are just stupid like that, they take the most recent great/bad year and forget the past. Dwight is alot better than what he showed in LA especially when hes getting a healthy dose of touches instead of playing alongside the greatest chucker of all-time. Prior to playing with the chucker he was unanimously considered a top 5 player and the best center in the NBA (other than Shaq who chose DeAndre Jordan lol).

Dwight for his career barely averages 18 he only played with Kobe one year. At his best he averaged 22 doubt he gets back to that. 20, maybe but that would mean he is being force fed those hoops tbh.

He averaged over 20 ppg four of the last five seasons before playing with Kirby. This year was his lowest average since he was a 21 year old sophomore. He doesnt need to be 'force fed' to average 20...I mean if you consider the touches he was getting in Orlando to be force feeding than what would you consider what Kobe does putting up 20-25 shots per game? Does Kobe force feed himself? :lol

[Thread]

I'd take Howard over any other center not named Duncan and Marc Gasol, tbh.

Duncan yes, but, not even Marc Gasol is worthy. He took his Waterloo like he couldn't wait. He's his brother's brother that's for sure.

[Thread]

Game 6 stings, and it will until the Spurs ring.

Even after that. You left a ring on the table. You had that fucker in your pocket.

Forever. And it should. You guys are now in the fraternity. The Heat popped yer cherry, took your virginity, your maidenhead.

I just hope I never have to go thru that again. I was a bundle of fucking nerves. I treated the old lady less than quality because I was so fucking distraught. It was just awful.

Disagree Cully. Marc Gasol is going to be the best big in the NBA when Duncan retires.

No one denies, ok well I don't deny Kobe is a volume scorer. You are right, Dwight can create open shots for his team-mates whenp teams foolishly double him. But if you need a hoop with the game on the line he can not be trusted. His go to move is limited cuz his post counters lack variety, and are not usually power moves. Dwight likes to lefty runner or spin baseline he has little else. If I needed a post-up hoop I'd much rather have Al Jeff, Zbo, Tim, Fat Gasol, a focused Pau, David West, Hibbert, Horford, LeBron, Pierce, Kobe, Melo I could keep going but you get the point. Great defender still an elite athlete just limited on offense.

3 things...

1.) track record....he fucked up badly in NY...I think that's what did it for me...everywhere he goes doesn't seem he knows how to adjust...he carries around his old Suns play book trying to plug a square peg into a round hole. Doesn't seem to know how to play to his players strengths he focuses on pick-n-roll only and that seems to be the extent of basketball knowledge. He's living in a by-gone era when it comes to coaching. Not having the foresight to rest Kobe for at least 1 fucking min...not 1 dam minute..Really? No excuse for that...no excuse

2.) Doesn't emphasize defense. Seems he thinks it's an after thought. In all of his coached teams he's never brought in a defensive specialist to help him in this weak area of his...he just expects to players to run and outscore opponents..this worked with a young Nash but does he not realize the personnel he has now.

3.) Buss fucked up...he hired Dantoni because of Nash..Not that I wanted Phil back but the way it all went down proves they had no plan or idea just what the fuck they were doing and now it's coming back to bite them in the ass...They hired Dantoni just to spite Phil and that's a fact no one denies...Now that Nash is done...Gasol is done...and we have Blake as back-up PG just what in the fuck does Dantoni bring to the table...even if we keep Howard Dantoni doesn't like running his offense through big men so what is the purpose of trying to keep Howard...he's not 1st option nor is he 2nd option...if you're going to keep Dwight then it's a no brainer Dantoni needs to go...

that it's for me...they gave him more time than they gave Mike Brown over 2 seasons...

We've been extremely fortunate with injuries. It was our time, our turn in the shit. I'll be eternally grateful for all the years of grace & fortune. We've been blessed.

A coach who will employ players not to so much to do good as to not do bad is my kind of fellow. It's not so much the good things that lead to victory, but, the lack of bad things.

As it turns out he was finished the moment he had the cancer scare. That changed him, like it changed Rudy.

it's not about an Achilles Heel it's about being a reasonable coach...soldiers not taking a break in war means someone dies..someone is gonna fuck up if they don't take 5 mins...no excuse for not resting your star player and then expecting him to play both ends at a high level...Pop overplayed his hand but it's not the same as giving your top guy a breather...Kobe is not 25 he's 35....same as an erection...I can't bust 4 nuts in a row like I used to maybe 2 but not 4...

For you it is about the Achilles. You're in denial. You're angry over it and bitter. Resting him for 5 minutes was not going to prevent this injury. It was our turn for calamity.

I can live with injuries...but Dantoni has no spine...in fact he says post injury: "How can I tell Kobe what to do".

Please get me a real coach in here....again injury aside...5 minutes of rest means the world in basketball...Kobe is pig headed...you cannot allow him that much leeway till it's self defeating and harmful to himself...and after we went down Dantoni didn't have a clue what to do after that....he has no play book....except what he's still carrying around from his days in Phoenix...he came to LA and said ok...Let's just let Kobe run the offense...I dont trust the guy...he didn't do anything last year to gain my trust...

Boston wouldn't trade with us if you put a Glock to Ainge's head. No way. Uh, uh.

I read an article from yesterday that touched on the notion of signing & trading Howard. For the first time Mitch did not dismiss that notion out of hand. That is what they'll attempt to do before the 10th of July.

I will not cast down Jim Buss. Not after his insistence on Bynum not once, but, twice, the second time repudiating Kobe to do it. His insistence garnered us 15 & 16. That is a fact. I don't forget that about Jim Buss. Ever.

I am ticked off at Mitch and a smidge bitter. Over his handling of Odom. Odom was at prime when we ran him off. It's unforgiveable of Kupchak to have done that. But, I won't cast him down for it. Everybody fails.

He missed the point blank layups in 7 because he was still transported in 6. That is on Duncan. That is his failure of character. His mental toughness gave out.

"nothing to lose" my ass. Media was getting all set to roast his ass. He was going to be the fall guy and stand in for James. Instead he stayed engaged in the here & now, the professional and waited his opportunity. He didn't mope and live in the past as Duncan did.

Tyson Chandler has shot 60% wtf does that prove? A dunker with limited range should shoot at least 50%. I agree he needs touches but with us he was woefully ineffective when he got them, and you can't put that on Kobe. His post game has improved but still shitty for a player with his talents. Shaq at least despite the similar ft troubles was effective in the post because of his size.

They said stop with the pedo stuff. No one cares about the age of kids you like so if you post it again, I'm reporting you.

Double-up is the one you are thinking of. Cully won't fight on his front porchPERIOD....or until he can find another reason to return because of his Duncan obsession.

Nah man, think it'll be Davis.

Well yeah, what I mean is Marc Gasol is gonna be the de facto best big man immediately after Duncan's retirement.

[FkLA]

Tyson Chandler has shot 60% wtf does that prove? A dunker with limited range should shoot at least 50%. I agree he needs touches but with us he was woefully ineffective when he got them, and you can't put that on Kobe. His post game has improved but still shitty for a player with his talents. Shaq at least despite the similar ft troubles was effective in the post because of his size.

Dont play dumb to make Dwight look bad just bc he's dissing your Lakers. When Chandler averages 20 ppg and draws double teams on top of shooting 60% then you can compare him to Dwight.

This is true. You see how inefficient those "dunkers" really are when they're forced to be a nr 1 option, even Dwight this year with Kobe out sucked for the most part, big men with no post game rely on their playmakers to get them an open look or a lob, only expection in the modern era has been Shaq due to his size and strength (who needs post moves when you're 7-1 and weigh 300 pounds?), Howard is more athletic than Shaq but is smaller in size and his hook shot isn't nearly as good.

You look at some big men shoot 60-65% from the field on 8 attempts per game and wonder why they don't get more "touches", the "touches" are open shots, lobs and tip-ins, Duncan is probably the only big man left that could take 15+ shots a game and still shoot above 50%. Even a healthy Dwight in his Orlando days only got 13 shots a game, it's limited offense.

You being a dumbass I have said for weeks I would love to have him back for less than max but apparently its the only way to keep him. For,max money and years rather see him go. Except quoting stats you have not argued the validity of any of mine criticisms, just making excuses. And if the back is an issue now it won't be in years 3-5?

Exactly plus he gets fouled and even at his ft rate I would say a third of his points come at the line.he can't get you a hoop when you need one.

:lol Howards offense is nowhere near as bad as Chandlers or any other bigman that relies on lobs. Again Howard demands double teams, his post moves may not be smooth or pretty but he's enough of a freak physically to were that doesn't matter. The poor closer argument is true but it was also true of Shaq and even Timmy in some yrs bc of poor FT shooting. Give him a closer like Shaq and Timmy had and hell be fine.

Howard does not demand a double team..He can played straight up..he's lite in the ass....only a COMPLETE retard would double D12...he will brick or miss the free throw...

no.

[Rogue]

We never counted on TC to contribute anything at the offensive end more than some casual alley-oops and 2nd chance scores. He and Dirk completed each other perfectly and the result turned out to be excellent.

and the current style of games overall is very biased against bigman-oriented offense. get the prime Shaq in today's league and he would get pissed being fronted and hustled by monkeyballers all over the court, though he would still be able to barely manage 20+10 per game

Spurs doubled and tripled him very time he caught the ball in the post.

Besides Pau, who else was anything of a threat? so no shit, they are going to throw 2 or 3 at Dwight, just made the game a whole lot easier.

Quit changing your argument. I said theres no shame in not being as good as Duncan whos a borderline Top 5 player all-time so obviously I dont think hes as good. With that said hes 37 years old, if it wasnt for sentimental reasons I would absolutely trade the 1-2 really good years Timmy has left for 5-6 of Howard.
