You think we still would've traded Fish if we were losing Blake?

Who cares. Bynum is producing the same numbers as Dwight. Rather have a center that can shoot free throws too.

Still baffled by this obsession with NJ by Dwight...

I still think I'd trade Bynum for him, but obviously not if he's not excited to play for the greatest franchise in the NBA.

But at this point, I'm not sure if Bynum's excited to be here either... I'm sure about Pau...

We might have some tough decisions this summer.

dwight howard has been represented by dan fegan since 2010. dan fegan works for the agency Lagardère Unlimited. that same agency is partners with Barclay's Center. Barclay's center will be the new home of the Nets next season.

Dwight playing in the Barclay's center makes everyone involved more money.

So nothing to do with basketball then... Good to know. Thanks Doc...

Even if it makes me feel naive... :roll:

Every story that comes out, every day that goes by it seems like, makes Dwight, one of the more likeable players in the NBA, look like a huge douche...

With all due respect, f...k Howard and his constant BS... He is going to run that organization into the ground... He is pouting again as he went 8 & 8 last night... He is playing the gamne he loves and making millions while we sit in offices 40 hours a week for spare change...

Wow we were so close to getting rid of Blake multiple times! :banghead:

I don't believe this for a sec.

"keep acting up Dwight and we'll send you to one of the greatest franchises in sports history with one of the greatest athletes of all time in sunny socal. Don't F with us!"

*rollseyes*

Getting rid of Fisher, Walton, Kapono, and Blake and getting Sessions and Dwight would have made Mitch GM of the Year.

The 18/12 that bynum has put up for these 50 games out of a 7 year career, dwight has averaged over his entire 8 year career. That is the difference.

That's because Bynum takes a backseat to Kobe. If this was Bynum's team, he would probably be putting up 25/10 a game when he's healthy. At this point, I would never trade Bynum for Howard.

howard is a lot better than bynum, people need to get over this.

It has been the obvious for many years Dwight was better than Drew all across the board.
But as of lately , Drew's making a solid case that he's a better player than Dwight on the offensive end (Free throws+mid range game)

It's no doubt that Dwight's still a much bigger impact than Drew defensively as of now.
With that said when Drew's completely tuned in defensively , he's not too far behind.

It will always come down to who's more durable and Dwight wins that race 9 outta 10 times.
Another feat Drew looks to overcome this season and so far he's doing just fine.
