Reverse Tim Duncan - The Dwight Howard Thread

TheKingofSting · Post #61 » by **TheKingofSting** » Wed Jun 21, 2017 1:25 am

I hated this guy as an opponent but I guess I like him now.

Kemba / ???
Batum / ???
MKG / Lamb
Marv / Frank
Howard / Zeller

We are def. drafting a PG in one round now but maybe Bam falls to pick #31!

Actually like upgrading 2nds more than getting Dwight. Might not sell it this year

Man, I was really down on both Belly and Plumlee as well - Christmas in June for ole MPM.

As a long suffering Horncats fan, I'm just waiting for Wojo to post a retraction.

Dwight is a ridiculous get for you guys. Obscene really. People like to trash Dwight but he's still one of the best C's in the league. And you basically got him for MILES PLUMLEE and his terrible contract?! WTF

Happy for yall

Yes, I'm calling this a win on the Marco trade and rolling with this being the plan all along.

Dwight finally found one of few coaches in NBA who would work for him

Y'all think we have time to get to 31 on our big board?

Do we have to keep Howard? Can we now move Howard and the 11 pick to say Sacramento for pick 5?

TheKingofSting · Post #68 » by **TheKingofSting** » Wed Jun 21, 2017 1:27 am

I'm confused, Is the 31 the first pick of round 2 or last pick of round 1? I'm so shocked / excited I can't think straight!

I guess that Hawks Hornets twitter chat today was actually a smokescreen 8-)

And hack a Dwight.

time to see how strong our locker room is, can it withstand the Dwight kryptonite?

Kudos to your front office for taking advantage of what was probably a worse situation than anyone probably thought of. People clown on Dwight all the time (although he has deserved it) but last year he played pretty well. I hope he fits in with your team and has a resurgence so your team can start seeing some consistent success. Hornets play a fun brand of basketball and get after it defensively; I enjoy watching them. Hope this works out well!

Every hand should be raised.

Absolutely, I kept reading waiting for the bad news.

Lol didn't even think of that.

Coincidence? Not?

I want Kyle Kuzma at 31!!!

BlackOutBuzz · Post #75 » by **BlackOutBuzz** » Wed Jun 21, 2017 1:30 am

This is great and all but it's really just setting me up for a crazy letdown when we trade 31 for $300k and a holographic Bulbasaur.

It's infuriating that some people — and members of the NBA media at that — still call our team as the "Bobcats."

I'll give Cho credit. He get rid of his mistakes (Marco and Plumlee) fast.

TinmanZBoy · Post #78 » by **TinmanZBoy** » Wed Jun 21, 2017 1:32 am

question, how do you fit Dwight and MKG together in starting lineup?

GlenRiceARoni · Post #79 » by **GlenRiceARoni** » Wed Jun 21, 2017 1:32 am

Mkg guarding the scorer, dwight protecting the rim. Frank/marv spacing the offense for kembas drives and 3s with batum as a secondary playmaker. On top of that zeller as an energy guy so we keep both their minutes low.

I think i make the 11th pick to lock in a cheap salary off the bench and trade for a backup pg at the deadline

I don't think you can call Miles a mistake given what just happened. Wasn't in a void.
