they should cater to him, he is their future not kobe

They definitely should at least make the dude feel welcome.

It's not his fault he's brought into a win now situation with two dudes about to retire in two years.

Now if i had to guess where he goes...Hello Houston....no pressure, he'll be the man at the same time.


Lord knows they love their C's too. I think if Dallas can come up with the money they've got a shot too. Dirk/Dwight (if Dirk's 100%) is a lethal combo that takes pressure off of Dwight for now but let's him take over the spotlight in a year or two.


hes not going to DAL

same thing with deron: what happens if dirk gets injured?

hou has a wonderful chance to land him


It would be interesting to see him in Dallas.

PG: Collison?
SG: Mayo
SF: Marion / Vince?
PF: Dirk / Wright
C: Dwight

i think folks need to realize the seriousness of howards back injury....he isnt 100% and wont be this year

he needs one more OS to rehab his back to get back to 100%

he is the future of LAL, along with their max space in 2014, all the rest is secondary

they arent making him feel welcomed, hes gonna leave at this rate

he doesnt like it when he gets criticized, good luck with the DAL owner who is outspoken

I really like HOU chances to land him and would put them as favorites right now

if dwight doesn't get healthy he's not going to make a huge difference anywhere. he's putting up pretty empty stats. there's no guarantee he's gonna regain his athleticism.

Good luck playing for Carlisle who calls out players daily.

At least McHale if he is still there loves big men.

Cost cutting for Chicago.

Boozer will never be amnestied.

Bargs in Chi makes zero sense

Boozer and Gay in Tor will be great because Boozer is at his best when no one cares what he does

^That's just plain stupid for Chicago, if they can make Bargnani so much as to finish the word "defense" Tom should be named COY... They need his shooting so bad?

it weakens chicago. that's all i care about.

on another note, watching shump so far leads me to think it's very unlikely rose comes back the same this year. i think it's possible he might even hurt them more then help.

Does Bargs really weaken them?

I'm not sure about that.

But either way, it would lower their payroll which is what they realy want.

I really don't understand what TOR is thinking up there. Don't really get the direction.
