Dwight Howard to Warriors almost a done deal

[Thebesteva]

Numerous sources saying Dwight to Warriors looks nearly complete, others say Houston still a close 2nd, Lakers are way out of the sweepstakes by now. Chris Broussard says that Dwight did NOT like Kobe's presentation about teaching him how to win championships.

Source: #Warriors (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Warriors&src=hash) are expected to get #D12 (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23D12&src=hash)’s max slot by packaging expiring deals w/No. 1 picks... If that’s all Dwight needs, he’s theirs.

Of course Mark Jackson is the perfect mentor for him... Gonna be a scary team.

Would he have abided the blueprint that Bryant & the Lakers put forth if he had signed? Most likely not.

Doesn't look like we'll be getting Thompson, just the dregs. Picks are shit.

Dwight and Jackson could be the most insufferable duo in NBA history.

I'll believe this when I see it, though, seeing as it's coming from Broussard.

Dwight cannot be shipped out fast enough for me...he's damaged goods....GSW are fools for getting rid of Klay...dude plays great defense and is balls deep accurate on his 3 ball....with a little work in the gym with K to the Izzzoo he will be ready to take it to the next level....

Dwights agents are not going to screw up his new Warrior team by doing a sign and trade that hurts the Warriors in any way. When he can walk there on the 10th. I'm sure they can find some way to shred salary better then help the WWE.

Unless this is Laker rigged once again, with Buss and Stern paying the Warriors owner off in multimillions.

So if this happens, will the Lakers out themselves as completely no pride having liars? First they begged and begged Dwight to stay and embarrassed the entire history of their franchise. Not only that, they told everyone they refuse to do a S&T. If they cave, does that make LAL the most gutless, loser franchise of all time?

They wouldn't get both IMO. If they did, Dwight wouldn't want to go there via S&T as he'd only have Curry to play with. I would be cool with a Barnes package. Something like this: S&T Dwight/MWP for Bogut ($13M - expiring), Barnes ($3.05M), Ezeli ($1.11M), and a 2014 1st Rounder.

This deal gives the Lakers a young piece in Barnes (21 years old) to build upon for the future. We already know that Nash is the only one on the payroll after this year so we keep our 2014 plan in tact due to Kobe, Pau, and Bogut all expiring - and team option for Uncle Festus Ezeli.

The 2013-2014 Lakers starting lineup:

Blake
Kobe
Barnes
Hill
Pau

In 2014 we'll have enough dough to go after 2-max players to get us back in the contention mix.

You cannot have your cake and eat it to this time Cul....You want Dwight gone and so do I....Bogut and Klay + a pick is more than enough chips for us to compete at a high level Kobe's last 2-3 yrs...Bogut at Center with Pau at the 4 will be just fine...look at what we have today....even if they part with one and give us a big back (Bogut) I will be extremely happy....

[LkrFan]

I disagree Kool. Klay is one dimensional offensively. He's a better shooter hands down, but I believe Barnes has a higher ceiling and can do more. Besides, if reports on Kobe are correct, unless he's playing SF, Klay would be duplicating what we already have in Kobe. Barnes would provide more balance as well IMO.

I'm not disagreeing with you, Kool. I'm just saying GS will not part with those kids. They'd walk away first, or, we'd blink and take the garbage. We're not getting Thompson OR Barnes. No way.

Based of the reaction, he will make his decision. What this also does is show "how hard" that he is really struggling with his decision when we all not thats not the case.

Warriors have Iggy now and also Curry. Howard/Curry/Iggy is a better trio than what Houston would have. There's also no doubt Howard would prefer Mark Jackson over Lurch as a coach.

Howard has all the leverage here. He would fuck up their plans if he chose Houston.

Knock yerself out. Me? I'm stickin' with 6.

Look at ya, have to use other teams accomplishments because your team couldn't get it done.

Bogut and Gasol will work for me....I'm not used to seeing two weird looking white boys man the paint but they have the size....we add Klay and maybe a Nick Young and we're in bizness patna


Kool begging is not unexpected as that runs in his blood(his momma begs for *things* all the time from DPG :lol), but begging for Bogut/Barnes :lmao. I thought the Laker franchise reached a new low for begging for Dwight the way they did, but Laker fan one upping their franchise right now and that's not a good thing :lmao


Duly noted. Have fun with Jeremy Lin!

Boom.

Numerous sources saying Dwight to Warriors looks nearly complete, others say Houston still a close 2nd, Lakers are way out of the sweepstakes by now. Chris Broussard says that Dwight did NOT like Kobe's presentation about teaching him how to win championships.

Source: #Warriors (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Warriors&src=hash) are expected to get #D12 (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23D12&src=hash)’s max slot by packaging expiring deals w/No. 1 picks... If that’s all Dwight needs, he’s theirs.



what a shitty source. fail thread.

did not...Kobe already put in the work....Dwight rode Kobe's coattails the whole way...only decent game was against Orlando...dude is just a much taller coward version of you...


It could be a lot worse=no 6.

Lakers should do the right thing: Trade Pau for young talent/picks and amnesty Kobe. You will likely get Kobe back the next year anyways (no use in rushing him back from injury when you have 0 shot at competing) and you will get multiple picks in a deep draft. It's really a no brainer IMO.

[DPG21920]

Lakers are at approximately 72M with their moves and no Dwight. You amnesty Kobe you are at 42M. You trade Pau for a young guy(s)with talent plus a pick you are likely at 27-30M in salary. Instant rebuild. Get young pieces, get draft pick via trade plus your own lottery pick, re-sign Kobe next season.

you're talking about this should be done now? I wonder if Mitch and Jim are getting drunk at this very moment haha

Yes, this is the best option for LA IMO. Kobe, while a ticket seller and having a healthy season was only good enough to scratch and claw for a 7th seed (which could have been the 8th seed or no playoffs) even with Dwight/Pau/Nash/Metta/Clark going off/...

He's not even guaranteed to play this season and if he does, LAL will be so far out of the playoff race why risk him. With Dwight gone, they still only have a mini MLE to offer to replace him, Clark and all the other young guys they let go. With that in mind, amnesty Kobe and trade Pau for what I said. Kobe will never play for another team even if they claim him because of the injury. You can get him back next year with plenty of cap space, avoid a LT bill that is still decent and get multiple picks plus young talent.

LAL are really screwed at this point.

What can the Lakers get for Pau?

[DPG21920]

What can the Lakers get for Pau?

Well (this is just my opinion), they can probably get at least a young good player on a small contract (doesn't even have to be a small contract either)+ a 1st round draft pick next year.

[Killakobe81]

Kobe should fall on sword and ask for amnesty tbh

[DPG21920]

The key is look for a team that could use a big like Pau (there are quite a few of them IMO). With how far below the cap LA would be, salary is not a concern in a Pau trade. Getting a high upside rookie pay scale player would be great, but even if you get someone who's already been paid well as long as they are young and talented that is what matters.

So a couple of ideas:

LAL Gives: Pau Gasol
CAVS Gives: Waiters + 1st Rounder

Cavs have been adamant they want to compete now. Pau certainly helps them and they don't need any more damn draft picks. Waiters is a decent young prospect.

LAL Gives: Pau Gasol
GS Gives: Bogut/Barnes

Sure, they didn't get Dwight, but now with Iggy, Barnes may be expendable. Getting Bogut replaces Pau but still gives you the expiring contract. Plus you pick up young cheap talent for the following years. GS gets better because Pau is better than Bogut.

LAL Gives: Gasol
Minny Gives: Derrick Williams + Shved + 1st rounder

Minny gets a solid big man to try and pair with Love (possibly PEK too or they can S&T Pek now for another asset) to make the jump to a playoff team. LAL get a younger talent to evaluate in Williams(if they don't like him, they can let him walk, as he has a team option next year), cheap decent player in Shved and a first rounder to help in rebuilding.

So stuff like that...

[lefty]

:lol

[Rogue]

Would be a dumb move for DH even by his own standard. a run and gun system has never been a good fit for him. he felt awkward playing under _'antoni in LA, and things would only turn even worse in GS where he would be used as nothing but a meat stick running from basket to basket and being always prepared to grab a rebound whenever Curry launches a shot

[Fabbs]

Warriors have Iggy now and also Curry. Howard/Curry/Iggy is a better trio than what Houston would have. There's also no doubt Howard would prefer Mark Jackson over Lurch as a coach.
Nope. No rigged sign and trade for the Fakers.
