Works for me. I didn't keep tabs on him this last season....does anyone have any shenanigans to report?? If he's still on the up and up, I'm totally for it. I thought he was a big part of our success the prior year.

We got his on again and off again Teia Cooper in LA with the Sparks so I’m sure he wants to be on again.

He was a bit ejection and tech happy at times. Other than that he was fine and played his role.

Still say Dwight is way over-rated by Laker fans, but we have a need there, so if there are no better available options, we should snap him up.
I'd like Ben McLemore back... His release is deadly. But he seems kind of lost a lot of the time.
I like Patty Mills, but I feel like he's not destined to end up here for some reason...
I keep thinking Dragic is done, but he keeps finding ways to be impactful... With our track record though, I'm concerned the Lakers are the team that shows him how to end that...
I really don't want the Melo narrative to be part of our season, but he was pretty good most of the season last year...
I'm more intrigued by RG though...

All that said, I think most of these guys will be there for a while... I think we should wait and see what else bubbles up. If we grabbed Dwight, I wouldn't mind though, just because we're really short on bigs right now unless Marc is interested in returning.

And Dwight

So far Ariza, Dwight, and Ellington.

Something might be brewing with Dennis. Too quiet for someone that seemingly no one wants

Ariza, Ellington, and Dwight!

I'm guessing a sign and trade is brewing for Dennis. Ramona said we might lose Caruso on ESPN AM 710, which I hope is not the case.

Fantastic signing. Dwight was a beast in that 2020 run and he’ll be a beast again.

The best part of this move is that it signals that Drummond is about to hit the road out of here. Despised seeing him out there.

Im wondering if the league teams are sitting back on his devalue once most pg's are taken.

I wonder if OKC has any interest in bringing him back?

Fantastic signing. I've said it last year: the Dwight Howard redemption arc is one of my favorite NBA stories of the last decade.
