**Official Dwight Howard to Brroklyn Nets thread***

[Killakobe81]

Rox do have the best young assets (3 recent first rounders) and Im sure they are willing to offer an additional pick or Patterson. But Why would Dwight stay on a team with no other superstar when the league is Superfriending it up?!

[Venti Quattro]

And if the Lakers are just bull- ting to avoid eating Jrich's contract ... they need to or get off the pot.

They probably read the gossip wire and understood that bringing in J-Rich is going to destroy the Lakers.

[Killakobe81]

Oh and Anderson is a good player. I just think some took issue with his contract. I would of loved him on the Lakers for 5-6 million per ... i wonder how much someone will overpay Lopez

Nash is gonna have so much white AND exotic pussy thrown his way he will forget the rumors Jrich banged his wife.

[Clipper Nation]

Kool is right and why would the Magic let Brooks go to the Clips when it can be argued he has the second most upside out of all picks or players in this 4 team trade?

Because they're idiots, tbh, but I'll take Brooks all day....

If you put him at PF next to Nash, Kobe, and Bynum, he would be a great complement and earn his 8.5 million.

Marshon Brooks wasn't even good last season. Not sure why he is overrated here.

A) His options are stay in Houston or go play in Dallas/Atlanta for $30 million less.

B) depending on how much salary the Rockets take back, they conceiveably would have enough to both re-sign Howard and offer Paul a max contract next summer.

Rockets
thinking they're landing Dwight
#2 seed

Laker Brass Hurt Dwight's Feelings they gave him a dose of reality whereas the Nets gave him a false sense of who and what he really is

- Mike asks "why won't Dwight want to come to LA?"

- Bucher says "when Dwight met with the Nets, they made him feel like the franchise. But when he spoke with the Lakers they sort of made him feel like just a normal player."

- Bucher says "when Dwight goes to a team like the Lakers, as a big man, he looks at that situation and says 'I HAVE to win a championship' because if he doesn't, he will be the only Lakers big man that hasn't win a champ, and that pressure makes Dwight hesitant esp since Kobe only has 2-3 years left."

[Budkin]

Dwight is such a ing crybaby... his head got way too big.

[ginobili's bald spot]

What a pussy. I can't believe he would admit something like that. Makes him look pretty bad imo.

[ginobili's bald spot]

I have no idea how Howard is getting a free pass on this. Imagine if LeBron or Kobe said that they didn't wanna play somewhere because it was "too much pressure" The media would be dropping bombs for years.

Dwight didn't say that, B... the Nets just wowed him more and treated him better on his visit, tbh...

EDIT: Never mind... I saw the other quote...

[Kidd K]

lol@ that, "I'd take Anderson at 5m" crap.

If he was a GM, he'd never sign anybody worth a damn if he thinks he can get players who get 16/8 AND shoot 40% from three at 24 years old for just 5m.

You never go full re . Don't you know that?

[baseline bum]

So basically Howard doesn't want to go to LA because Kobe is washed up? Makes sense.

You can pay 8 million, for a better rebounding Bonner. I get that you have to over pay stars. I also get sometimes you have to overplay players to put a contender over the hump. You dont pay 8 million for a role palyer when he does neither, but OK ...genius.

Anyone catch Cavs not wanting any part of the deal? Looks like yet another "nearly done" deal went down the drain.

It was a bull smokescreen like I said all along. Orlando was never going to take that deal. Their GM isn't as dumb as the average spurstalk mouth breather who defended that trade.

I don't know why people are scared that Dwight might come to LA. Would take more than that to fix the team.

[crc21209]

And you LA es want this cry baby. that guy....

Dwight would not guarantee jack. He is not better than Lebron. The Heat still have better shooters and better athletes. Coaching is a wash. Dwight/Kobe/Nash should be able to get to a WCF, at least ...but Heat are still favorites no matter if Dwight goes to Lakers or Nets.

Tbh, if he wanted to go to Spurs you would probably make some threads upstairs talking about a new Dynasty and predicting the number of Chips he'll carry TD/Parker/Manu to.

In the unlikely case that he comes to LA he would be replacing another drama queen.
