I have to agree, he was exposed big time; his value will plummet, imo. The whole series, I couldn't help but think how overrated he was.
Wow, we exposed his weaknesses BIG TIME in that series. He is one-dimensional. He can't shoot, he can't pass out of double teams, he is fragile mentally, and he is selfish. Bailing on your team like that? In the shape they were in?!?!?! Look at this picture - this means there's so many teammates wide open. This is basketball dysfunctionality. He's a freakishly good athlete, but that doesn't translate to NBA.Why is he looking up at the basket instead of looking to pass? I'll bet his stock drops big time from this.

As Barkley said last night on Inside, Dwight hasn't improved from 4 years ago. He said his defense and rebounding are great but that he's not a good scorer and needs to develop a go to move.
Some owner will still pay him in the max-- that's guranteed. Be it Houston, Dallas, or the Lakers. Not saying the mental midget is worth it but an owner will fork over the dollars to get him.
He should develop posting up without going jackie chan first
It's not going to cost him one penny. Whatever he gets, he's still going to be overpaid for his skills.
He's still pretty much a lock for an all star spot, position as a franchise player and can put fans in the stands with his name alone. That's the value in signing him. That and he is only 27, he has at least one big contract in him, two if he actually starts to improve which shouldn't be that much of an uphill battle considering how terrible he is.
Yeah, he's still a max player in this NBA. He still got 17 and 10 on 62% shooting with so many built in excuses this series.
for his own good, he should go to dallas.
He's not as good as he's been made out to be by many people, but I'll go out on a limb and say that max salary for 36 minutes, 20 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks every night would be considered a bargain by every single team in the NBA.
Given the number of teams with max capspace this summer and the limited talent available, somebody will overpay and give him a max contract. His best option would be to go to Houston where Harden can carry him and he can be coached by a low post master like McHale. But Howard is an attention who will stay in LA. Lakers are ed.
Joe Johnson and Amare are max players. Nobody's overpaying if they throw the same money at Dwight Howard tbh.
Really, some around here have been saying Splitter is going to get something close to a max deal this summer. How could Howard not get one?
”GIMME MONEY, I DON'T QUIT!”
Why is there a hand without a body next to bonkers arm? Wtf?
I got so tired of hearing about this asshole with his Orlando drama last year--He just brought it with him again as a ING LAKER, to top it off, playing against The Spurs. Seriously, let him wallow in his sorrow and misery all next season (WTFever) with his ass-buddy, Achilles, for all I ing care. Whatta' deadbeat piece-of-garbage.

There is a fourth spur behind him.
You can see the top of his head right over dwights head, and part of his jersey over dwights right shoulder.
Yep...that is a weird photo. Manu's arm looks strange. One of Bonner's arms looks too skinny. The guy from behind looks like Blair (at least the top of his head), but the hand doesn't seem to match.
Howard won't win you a le as your best scorer, but when healthy, he's by far the best rebounder and defender in the NBA, tbh..
If you put him on a team like Houston, if healthy, without the drama and pressure of playing with Kobe, they will be very dangerous..
, as chumpdumper said, even when it appears that he played horribly, he still gave you very good numbers with a horrible supporting cast..let's not neglect that not only was he being guarded by Duncan(top 3 defender) and Splitter(good defender), he was being swarmed all series long..
Yep. He's the leading rebounder in the NBA this year. De-facto max contract.
Reality: Dwight sucks. He basically has the same stats (and half the impact) as Duncan, who is 36. He definitely didn't recover from his back surgery, and it's unclear whether he ver will. However I'm quite sure there's at least one GM in the NBA stupid enough to a) bring that cancer to his team and b) pay him the max.
Note that if LA doesn't resign him, he's indeed losing millions of $ already.
He could go to the GSW...that would be scary.
Dude doesn't care about winning, or contributing to an already good team. If he wanted to win he'd take the necessary pay cut and go to a good team (Spurs, OKC, GSW, Nuggets) Like someone said already, all he plays for is attention and money. You can tell basketball doesn't come first for him.
It helps when the rest of his team is a bunch of D League scrubs so you can triple team off the scrubs
FWIW This picture does mean that dude cannot hit a FT nothing to do with he can't shoot or he can't pass the ball
not saying he can but the choice of the picture is not good to illustrate your take.
how exactly would this work?..
