Welp...all in I guess.
Welcome to D.C Dwight.

I feel like the Wizards and Howard have been on a collision course for years. Just hope for the best I guess, at least they shook things up.

He's coming in with a chip on his shoulder. He also seems to care a lot about his perception so I expect him to be on his best behavior.

Even if cancer, his cancerous numbers blow Gortat's numbers out of the water with only about 5 minutes more per game. Not saying it was all on him, but this seems like at the very least a solid uptick.

Well except for drafting better this is realistically the best we could have hoped for. We didn't have much wiggle room or a very attractive situation for free agents

I suppose it could work if Brooks would commit to four out and one in.
Wall/Sato
Beal/Rivers
Oubre/Green/Brown
Otto/Kieff
Dwight/Bryant/Mahinmi
I just don't know how we can reasonably expect the Wizard's locker room to keep Howard in check.

Yeah, it's going to be great having a legit rim protector and rebounder.

Well no shocker. At least this team won't be boring, on or off the court.

Maybe I've been living under a rock what's this bad reputation he has in the locker room everyone claims?

You mean to tell me Dwight could possibly be an all star next year if he plays well???

Let there be no doubt that Dwight is going to return to an All-Star level.
Trust the plan!

Looks like he may sign for the minimum which would be cool cause we'll still have the taxpayer exception

Kobe didn't like him.

Well, this could go really well, or really, really bad.
Kudos to Leonsis, the money he'll save from the Trotz deal is going to come in handy here.
Wall earned himself quite the reputation as an ****, and if the rumors of **** Gortat are true I can't wait to see how things turn out between the two

Either this works out or we flame out. No inbetween.
If Wall actually fights over screens then theres a chance it won't be that bad on the court. Thats all contingent on how lazy Wall is gonna be in PnR defense.

Kieff at the 4 can't happen. He needs to be traded
