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"?
No
He's not a superstar anymore. But will expect superstar pay and treatment. Not a good fit for us.
From Duncan to Howard :lol
Would that be the biggest drop off for intangibles in nba history?
I rather have Hibbert.
Younger, cheaper and more coachable
spurs should just go after andrew bynum
Hell nah
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.
Solid take Bill :toast
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....
VET MIN :)
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..
