Dwight Howard Traded

[Mr. Body]

Because who gives a fuck. To the Bobcats.

[cd98]

Will GMs ever learn?

[illusioNtEk]

LOL This nigga needs a drill sergeant as a coach tbh.... no effort into learning any post moves

[TimDunkem]

LOL This nigga needs a drill sergeant as a coach tbh.... no effort into learning any post movesIt can't be lack of effort. It's been how long since he came into the league? He never had the talent. Just pure athleticism.

[Vic Petro]

Ferrari was part of that trade. Maybe Bud will flip him to us for nostalgias sake.

[Mikeanaro]

Lol WTF!? was not about playing at home? also
WTF MJ!?
They dont even care about having a good team.

[baseline bum]

:lol Jordan

[Uriel]

It's Hornets now. Funny how the term Bobcats has become synonymous with incompetence. :lol

[Mr. Body]

If only Emeka Okafor could have stuck it out for another eight years with the Bobwhatevers, Charlotte could have united the number 1 and number 2 picks in the 2004 NBA Draft.

[mo7888]

ESPN reporting hawks are going into full rebuild mode. I wonder what Paul Millsap will do?

[HarlemHeat37]

Hopefully this means Bud is finally going to start rebuilding, it's a year and a half overdue, tbh..too bad he blew so much money on Kent fucking Bazemore:lol

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I remember the hope people in ATL had when he came out. I used to work with his aunt back in 2004. Talent that never was, not even playing for his hometown.

Even with a lack of post moves, he still had ridiculous impact from 2008-2011, tbh..

Not sure if there was a more depressing career arc, tbh..We are talking about someone who was probably on pace to be a Top 5 C ever..Everything went south after he left ORL..

[Ron Swanson]

:lol Jordan

He's just one of those players who will be remembered for his peak, rather than career..Spurs fans should remember how much he destroyed them, at his peak, tbh..

I think he'll be remembered more for the move to Los Angeles and the precipitous decline in his abilities and impact in the league.

[tp2021]

His peak is a very distant memory. I remember him getting punked by a 37 year old Tim Duncan and for having a fling with Colin Kaepernick

[Mikeanaro]

I cant remember him as an elite player, he is still young and I bet he will jump to 7 more teams, his peak playing will be a very very distant memory, kinda a Gilbert Arenas but without retirement.

Agree on his arc, but even at his best he wasn't going to pass Kareem, Russell, Wilt, Shaq, Hakeem, Moses and Robinson (David was far more skilled than Dwight on O). Never was going to be Top 5, but might have had a shot at Ewing territory. Not even that now.

MJ cares about his own bottom line. Dwight Howard puts butts in the seats.

He had that back injury. Never fully recovered. Only glimpses here and there.

[cutewizard]

pathetic

[Dverde]

The Bobcats are like Dennys. It's not a place you go to, but a place you end up at.

:lol Good one! :toast

[hater]

Hes always had the mental toghness of a pre pubescent girl tbqh

Not sure why ppl were into him at all

[Mnky]

Man, just the other day he was on ESPN, talking about how good it was to be home and he was excited to get better. He said they had a new great gm from the warriors that knows winning ball, experience with san Antonio and will make good moves.

First thing that Gm did was get rid of dwights awful contract, and moved up in a deep draft. Guess he was riggt.. but that's cold . :lol

[Brazil]

Anyway I will always like him he is the one who preferred lose money and play with ball hog beard rather than playing with kobe... :lmao

[TD 21]

Terrible trade by Hawks. Sure, they gain $11+M in cap space for '18-'19, but lose that same amount in '19-'20. They also moved down 10 spots in the 2nd round.

I don't care how much Howard's slipped (and as much as he has, the extent to which is overstated), how much of a malcontent he was or how low his value was: trading him for the sake of it was pointless.

If/when they lose Millsap, they'll have one legit starter under contract, in Schroder and he doesn't even rank in the top half of starters at his position.

Excellent trade by Hornets, who clearly upgrade at center and in picks and should now operate over cap, opening up MLE. They also lose extra year on Plumlee's albatross. There's literally no downside to this for them.



Agree on his arc, but even at his best he wasn't going to pass Kareem, Russell, Wilt, Shaq, Hakeem, Moses and Robinson (David was far more skilled than Dwight on O). Never was going to be Top 5, but might have had a shot at Ewing territory. Not even that now.

Duncan too; he counts as both a power forward and a center. Injuries cut Howard's prime short, but we saw, if not his absolute best, at least close to it and it wasn't at that level.

Tbh I think all the people talking about how he has no post moves is what ruined his career. He became obsessed with proving those people wrong...while still not being good in the post. Dude was great in the PnR in Orlando, and then stopped wanting to do it once he got to the Lakers because of all the people talking about his post game. He quit the rockets because they weren't giving him enough post touches. He quit the Hawks because they weren't giving him enough post touches.

If he'd just accepted what he was, he'd have been much better off. Modern NBA centers don't need post moves.

If someone could convince him of that instead of just giving him lip service about how they're gonna use him, I think he'd be a great asset still...even with his contract. Cavs should have traded Tristan Thompson for him tbh.
