2013 NBA Offseason |OT| Already Planning for the 2014 Offseason
- Thread starter Rodeo Clown
- Start date
Dallas doesn't have enough cap space for both. It would have to be some kind of wacky five-team sign-and-trade to work.
Phoenix, Dwight can keep up the path of Shaq. CP3 can take over the title of the next great Suns PG. KJ to Kidd to Nash to CP3. We won't mention Marbury...
Say what now ITWMTB19
Don't see how that could work cap wise...
Howard would have Mchale to work with. One of the only things Mchale is good for....helping big men. And then Hakeem would probably be available whenever at a moments notice. Become a 'Rockets Consultant' or something like that.
It works if you let Garcia go....
But Dwight will suffer the same problem with the Rockets, he'll never live up to the great centers before him.

On way out of Toyota Center, asked if he'll be active participant in Rockets' free-agent recruiting, James Harden tells ESPN: "Hell, yeah"

Asked specifically about joining Rockets' well-chronicled plans to chase Dwight Howard, Harden cracked a smile and said: "Maybe. Possibly"

how the hell are you a suns fan THIS season. They've been abysmal.
Doesn't matter who the suns draft as the draft is 1 player deep. The rest are reserve rotational guys.
We're fucked.
Go Grizz!!!!!
I love it that people actually want Dwight and Smoove. Shit is crazy.
I think smith would be a good addition to many rosters.
Just not on a max contract. He's not that guy.

The Mavericks are completely devoid of any semblance of NBA talent outside of Dirk and old as fuck Marion / Vince but they're not going to go after Dwight?
Uh okay.
No doubt. He is going for Paul.

Those really aren't that much worse than his regular season numbers though.

Cuban will probably trade away the MAVS pick + Marion. This can open up some space for both Paul and Dwight.

Dirk cp3 and Howard.... Keeping everyone else.... Maybe that is a chip.... Maybe
He made an impact in zero of 6 games on either side of the ball. He was much much worse than the regular season even if it wasn't glaring statistically.
Josh Smith makes $13M. You think he's willing to go less, after seeing what others got in last year's off season?
He's not a max guy but it only take one team to take on a player that ultimately doesn't have the BB IQ to ever be great.

Because hes still one of the best centers in the league?
Almost every team would want Dwight.

true but he's not worth the price you would have to pay to get him, that's why i said cubes is a smart guy unlike other owners, GMs.
Hmmm
there's a lot less dumb contracts being thrown around at the moment. i'm not so convinced that he'll necessarily get it on any other team than the hawks.
I think teams are very wary under this CBA to tie up their future in "potential" on bigs in their second contract who still haven't put it all together.
And yet, this is still true.

Did not know that SuperCool had the third worst season in NBA history post-merger:

And Win Shares dramatically overrate his defense as well.

How is he not worth the price? Look at the money guys like Tyson Chandler and Noah are making? And Dwight is better/younger than those guys (well at least younger than Tyson). In a BAD year, he still put up 17/12 on 57% shooting. Is he a franchise guy in the vein of Shaq or Hakeem? No. But in this league it's not only franchise guys that get max contracts. If you want to be competitive you have to overspend. The Heat overspent badly on Bosh, but it helped them land Bron and Wade.

NBA GAF's approach to Dwight is comical.
Dude still put up offensive numbers despite playing with pain in his back all year and his shoulder for half of it. Hell, he looked like Kwame for 2 months to start thanks to the back.
He also showed late in the season what he can still do defensively.
Last year everyone believed Dwight was a top 5 player, all of a sudden he ain't worth $10 mil a year? lol
NBA-GAF goes through massive mood swings, man. Dwight is quite clearly a max player in the NBA. As Ninja said, he's not a Shaq or Hakeem dominant big man at all, no doubt. But he's still the Center in the NBA that can have the biggest impact right now on both sides of the ball where big men who make a big impact matter more than any other position.

not having an NFL team in LA is the best thing ever. No blackout games ever. Always get the best games, too.

i think cp3,harden, parsons, millsap, asik sounds like a better team.

It does, but it won't be possible. Houston has at least 40 million committed before signing CP3 to about $20 mil a year. Milsap ain't coming for $5 mil.

I had this horrible dream that the Jazz did a S&T of Millsap for Jeremy Lin and Thomas Robinson and I think that could work cap-wise so I guess it could happen (if the world and the Jazz just hate Jazz fans)
