Don't want at the price he will still command this summer.

Pretty much.

[apalisoc_9]

If he takes a paycut, why not. Dwight can still be a monster when hes motivated. Hes got great defensive fundamentals.

Problem really is attitude and with all the baby mamas, he needs more money.

Please moderator, erase this shit thread.

[Sean Cagney]

I can't stand Howard, period.

[keeferob25]

I wouldn't take him if he was free. This is literally one player that would cause me to stop rooting for this team entirely. Coward, soft, pussy, no heart, liability at the line, no leadership, no real skill developed in 10+ years and is declining. Why would we want him again?

[Mr. Body]

Meth. Not even once.

You saying there's a chance?

If for the minimum, why not?

PATFO generally likes intelligent players so that rules out Howard immediately.

For fucks sake, for someone who covers the Spurs exclusively, Jabari Young just does not understand the organization.

Spurs tried going after Jr Smith and Josh Howard in years past, they'll sign whoever they can get.

[KL2]

Howard is a head case but the defense he and Leonard would form would be disgusting, him and La would also be deadly in the paint.

[DenialTwist]

It'll be a cold day in Hell before Dwight Howard ever joins the Spurs. He can stay in Houston with his stickum and Harden's merry men.

[apalisoc_9]

In pop recent interview he said he would sign a selfish player but only one..he wants to make sure he just follows through. Dwight looks broken down at times tough...so anything for more than 20/2 wit a team option for the second year is a no no...basically means i dont want diwght because i know it aint happening

[FromWayDowntown]

If anything can be said of Dwight, it's that he's completely gotten over himself. It's never just about Dwight. Ever.

[Chris]

Coach killer would last 3 days before Pop tied his sorry backside to the Tree of Woe. He would then hold out on practices and vent on Social Media like a diva. :lol

[rexrobinson]

they'll sign whoever they can get.

That is absolute horseshit and you know it. The Spurs have always been selective with who they try and bring in. While I don't doubt they have entertained scenarios, for the sake of due diligence, they do not bring in known Low BBIQ headcases.

Howard is an injury prone, low BBIQ headcase who couldn't comprehend Pop's defense much less spell BBIQ.

[Budkin]

No fucking way. Biggest team cancer in the league.

[turkish spurs fan]

i give up supporting spurs if he joins us

[SpurPadre]

I'd rather they just sign Bonner for another 3 years to be a starter again...yeah, it's THAT bad.

[HarlemHeat37]

Does the guy that wrote that get paid to cover the Spurs?:lol

I can't think of a worse fit in the "Spurs culture" than Howard, tbh..not to mention he isn't that good of a player anymore, at least not good enough to put up with his flaws(on and off the court)..

[TheDoctor]

:lmao

Jabari is a Blazers' hero tho'. Last Season he forgot to include Raymond in his NBA Awards Ballot :depressed


First off, an apology is needed to Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green.

Defensive Player of the Year award was one of the selections, and Green was completely ignored. He deserves consideration, and may just win the award though he wasn’t picked on my ballot.

When thinking of the candidates, Green’s name just slipped my mind, as Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, Memphis center Marc Gasol, and San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard were the selections made. Once it was discovered Green was forgotten, a change was sought but after selections are submitted, all votes are final.


Golden State wasn’t completely ignored, though, as Stephen Curry got my vote for Most Valuable Player.

Well this guy doesn't need to be a beat writer for us any more.

[8FOR!3]

I don't think it'd workout, but I question fans who say they'd stop cheering the team if they signed him. It's not like he'd be the "last straw," I just don't think signing him would be a great move. It wouldn't all of a sudden change the 20+ years of being the best organization in basketball.

[JeffDuncan]

Dwight Howard join the Spurs to do.......what??? Obviously it can't mean playing basketball.

What else can Dwight Howard do?? Can he sing? Dance? Play the ukulele? Juggle? Drink a glass of water while standing on his head? Lick his own eyebrows? If he can, well, maybe he could find a spot in the pregame show, or somewhere around town doing promotions. No promises, but he could audition, we could take a look.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

If you asked me to make a list of the top 5 guys in the league currently that I'd absolutely loathe coming to SA, Dwight Howard would be #'s 1-5.

[Spurs9]

I wouldnt want dwight if he was free :lol

I was seriously ready to jump ship had we signed Karl Malone in 2003. At least until he was no longer on the team. I wouldn't go that far for Dwight but he would seriously fuck shit up just like he does everywhere he goes.

[Atl Spur]

The spurs will probably go after Brook Lopez to be honest.

[Spurtacular]

Don't think Dwight's "gotten over himself." PATFO wouldn't go for it.

Is Gobert available this summer? Would be a perfect fit here

I'd prefer Whiteside over Howard.

[coachmac87]

Who needs Dwight when you have Boban lol

[spurraider21]

absolutely not

[Strategic]

Slow day

[Snaq O'Meal]

I hope Jabari Young wasn't considering Dwight Howard as the second coming of David Robinson.

Howard may profess to be a Christian, but he doesn't read the holy book the same way as Robinson. While the Admiral studies the scriptures in entirety, Bible Kemp only focuses on "go forth and multiply."

[TheGreatYacht]

Some people on this board wanted to keep Shitter instead of Aldridge, tbh lol.. Also thought Marc Gasol would be a better fit than LMA (Imagine Fatsol and Tim defending the P&R :lol )

Yes, I would take a DPOY on the team.

[bic50]

I actually wouldn't mind him but I really question his mentality as a winner competitor. The amount of times I've seen the rockets getting blown out and he's on the bench smiling joking around is pretty disturbing. But if he could take winning seriously I'd take him.

[HarlemHeat37]

He's still a good defensive player, but nowhere near what he used to be(not even referring to his peak, where he was arguably a top 5 defender of all-time, but he's nowhere near what he was just a few years ago)..

For a terrible offensive player like Howard to be worth the price that he's going to cost, he needs to be a great/elite defender that buys into his role as a super role player(like Ibaka/Jordan)..he's no longer great, defensively(just good), and he refuses to accept that he's a poor offensive player..

The NBA is where names cost more than production..there are still GMs that will pay shitty players like Rajon Rondo, for example..fortunately, the Spurs are always ahead of the curve..

[Mugen]

:lol I'd probably stop being a Spurs fan tbh

[spursparker9]

Well I am okay with Dwight signing for the vet min and playing Error's role

He would be best suited playing w/ someone like Chris Paul who will throw him lobs unlike James Harden who tends to find shooters after a PnR despite Dwight setting screens & rolling to the rim.:lol

If the Cripples had Dwight instead of DeAndre they would be a legit threat to the Worriers b/c Dwight can actually punish Barnes/Draymond in the post. (DeAndre was throwing up airball hook shots last time:lol)

Dwight still wants touches on offense in the post, though..he still doesn't realize he's a terrible offensive player that should live off lobs and finishes:lol

Ideally, he could excel in that type of role, but he still thinks he can be Hakeem..

At least somebody like DeAndre just plays his role with high energy and consistency, regardless of the touches he gets..

[Kawhitstorm]

The thing is that they don't even throw him lobs so they are making the situation worse by ignoring him as if he's Dennis Rodman.:lol (He was decent in the postseason when Josh Smith was throwing him lobs unlike HarDone)

He also worked Chandler over 1-on-1:

He also killed DeAndre in January when they were finding him on rim-runs:

Best we could get for our money is probably Larry Sanders.

Unless Horford pulls a David West.

We already have a #12. Bruce isn't gonna want to give up his number a second time, tbh.

Larry Sanders makes Stephen Jackson seem like a choir boy.:lol

Nope, no spur fan, on anyone who ever watched the spurs, or anyone who has heard of spurs culture, would ever see this. Shut down your twitter

[dweaver99027]

Which part of "has gotten over himself" do you guys fail to comprehend? You really think Pop would offer Dwight money to be a part of his "family"?

[100%duncan]

No

[wildbill2u]

He's not a superstar anymore. But will expect superstar pay and treatment. Not a good fit for us.

[weeks]

From Duncan to Howard :lol

Would that be the biggest drop off for intangibles in nba history?

[OrEmuN]

I rather have Hibbert.
Younger, cheaper and more coachable

Hell nah

[BillMc]

I wouldn't want Dwight for a number of reasons. As Harlem and others have said he'd be a great role player/defensive specialist as long as he'd buy in. But he still thinks he's "the next great big man" when that ship has sailed. KAT in Minnesota at mere 20 has far more offensive skills than Dwight ever will have.

My other concern would be the absence of Tim (and likely Manu) in the leadership department CANNOT be replaced by Howard. This is obvious. But when Howard begins his diva routine or complaining about shots or smiling and not caring after losses, how will this affect other players? What a contrast to Tim. LMA, for example, has ditched the diva stuff and come on board and fallen in line. I somehow can't see Howard doing the same as he's failed to do so everywhere he goes. Will LMA's inner diva re-rise if Howard is allowed to play around and bitch? Without Tim there it is more likely. Pop can only police so much. Fortunately Pop and RC know this.

Howard had things perfect for himself in Orlando. He torpedoed it. He was then unhappy because Kobe and the Beard took up too many shots (surprise, surprise). Well Kawhi and LMA would eat first in the Spurs. Unless he's grown up and learned to accept that he's an aging DeAndre Jordan, he'll never flourish anywhere. Even in SA.

And if somehow the money to pay for Howard would materialize (and it won't) I'd rather use it on Al Holford if Timmy retires. Or beg David West to come back. Or throw it at a stud young point guard.

[TheDoctor]

Solid take Bill :toast

Thanks man!:bobo

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, the concerns are his fitting into the culture after so much dysfunction and getting him for the right price. Seems really unlikely.

The defense might be even better than it is now though....Damn....

Yeah, issue #1 it's clearly his discipline and fit into the Club. Also, I'm not sure that Pop wants to deal with the Hack-a-Player problem. Although the NBA is aimed at changing these foul rules this Summer.

Also, Howard isn't like DeMarcus Cousins(another cancer that has a cult following for some reason) where you can make the "dysfunctional franchise" excuse for him..

He has been with 3 different franchises and has had incidents/on-court dysfunction with all 3 of them:lol..drama follows him everywhere, not to mention that he's a pedophile with 50 kids..
