There isn't really a legitimate argument for that tbh

Yowza:

Former Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard was pulled over for driving 95 mph in a 65 mph zone and ticketed for driving without insurance, which led to his car being towed at 2:06 a.m. April 28, the morning before his Atlanta Hawks were eliminated from the playoffs.

Howard was pulled over in his 2016 Audi RS7 for speeding. Police found that he was driving on a suspended registration and without insurance. Howard was given a warning for speeding and the suspended registration, but ticketed for lack of insurance.

I was more joking than being serious about it :lol: :lol:
I find Vučević servicable but by far best used off bench, but Magic don't have better C than him so it's normal that he starts

I can agree with that. He can be a starter on many teams in the NBA and could be with Orlando as well depending on the team around him. And, I mean having a team with players better around Vooch would make him a solid starter on a good team. But, Vooch being the best player on a bad team is not good.

David Robinson???

The dude wishes he was on D-Rob's level when he was in Orlando. If he improved his overall offensive game, then he would crack into the conversation with the D-Robs, the Ewings, the Olajuwons, the Mournings, and the Mutombos of the world.

"D-Rob"? Call him The Admiral, please.

Regardless of nicknames, David Robinson always have my respect for how he played the game during his tenure in the NBA.

Perhaps, I could've worded it better. I was referring to how the guys when into the Hall of Fame for how they played the game in their own way which they earned their respective trips into the Hall of Fame.

I think it is debatable that Dwight in his prime was better than Mutombo.

it is not debatable at all, Dwight was better overall. Mutumbo might have been a slightly better rim protector, but he couldnt switch out, didnt have the offensive game that Howard did, even as limited as that is

Trade #5 and Mario for Butler

I could get behind that if we find a way to get a starting PG too.

I think Elf would be fine with a star player on the team. Also, can interchange Butler for Paul George. Either would fit here.

Im ready to move on, three years in the league and Elfrid still can't shoot or defend.

Still factually incorrect. His shooting in every single area improved except 3 point land. On defense he ranks as a completely average defender at the PG spot which makes sense since he has nights of great defense/bad defense/average defense.

I will also keep saying great PG defense doesn't matter if he's not forced into an outside shot we have zero inside presence. Can lock a guy down for 20 seconds, get wiped out by a pick or even a great pass and have nobody challenge it inside. We need to change the inside out culture of our defense before addressing anybody on the wing (which in that case, Fournier is the first to look at as the worst culprit).

Christ, didn't we tried that with both Ibaka and Biyombo to fail miserably? It is not that simple as having a shotblocker in the paint. Every player on the floor has to play defense, not just big guys. I'm not aware that he had many great defensive nights, certainly not in the games I've had opportunity to watch. It's been fun having that haircut on the roster, but even if he improves to being average defender, I'm not optimist he's gonna make it as a starter in this league without consistent 3pt shot.

I'm ready to move on from every player that can't play on both sides of the floor, as none of them is specially good at just one side (except maybe Aaron who can play excellent perimeter D, but he is such a weird combination - defends wings but has no jumpshot).
