Wait, Howard's contract is for $23.2M? No way he'll get that on the open market.

He's worth maybe 500K

He'll get a max contract.

 

[zswordsman]

We should have been swept.

Thank you Warriors for ending this fake fuckery of a season.

At least we have football to look forward to.
Damn did Houston just flat out gave up.

Harden crying himself to sleep tonight thinking about the good old days.

Yeah I don't get why he wants to opt out. What does he think he's going to get on the open market, 3/60? I wouldn't offer him half of that.

That's true, but honestly though, I have been set free.

I'M ALL FREE NOW!!

Are they leaving Horward ou there cause they know he's leaving or something?

 

[unknownstranger]

Get the lead to 40!

Tyson Chandler's corpse just got 4/$52 million and he's 3 years older than Dwight. DeAndre Jordan is a similar type of player, but 3 years younger, and got $88 million and had two teams fighting over him like he was the belle of the ball. You guys are really underestimating the market if you think Dwight doesn't have every reason to opt out of 1 year/$22 million. Somebody is going to throw mad money at him.

 

[friskykillface]

If Ainge gives Dwight a max contract I'll be pissed off
Low ball the fuck outta him


Cuban will pay Dwight

They're playing bench players.

Howard with the 3 lol

Who?

All it takes is one team to (probably Dallas or Portland) to offer big money and the market is set.

 

[blackaroni]

This season is finally over! Good luck on the next round GSW!!!!!

I hope the Rockets keep Beasley. They have a lot of work to do before the next season.

Media guys keep mentioning Milwaukee and Orlando also lol

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Who?

Dallas, Portland and even Orlando are said to be interested. Despite the dysfunction in Houston and his lingering physical decline, Dwight is still a good player, at a position (defensive anchor at the 5) that still carries some value around the league. Teams are looking for Centers who can anchor their defense while the other 4 guys on the court run around and shoot 3s.

 

[friskykillface]

Melo
Porzingus
Dwight

Do it Phil

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Rockets are just a disgrace of a team man. No effort, no focus, no chemistry.

 

[darkwing-buck]

1...2...3 Cancun! LMAO InsideTheNba man

 

[Kevtones]

Dwight to NY sounds spicy good

 

[Fjordson]

Warriors won the last 6 quarters of the series without Steph 179-119. Damn.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Dwight and Porzingis would probably be a terrible fit, which means the Knicks will absolutely try and sign Dwight. Blake would be a much better running mate for the Zinger, if the Knicks can convince the Clipps to take Melo.

 

[Fjordson]

Marcus Spears says Curry is feeling better and will begin testing his knee on the court next week.

I think LAC would have to convince NY to take Blake. Melo would be more than Doc could hope for. I expect his best offers to be Boston (or rather BK) draft picks.

 

[Nafai1123]

Lol @ Dwight Howard saying he's a champion right after getting eliminated. Keep dreaming.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

So what's the story on this Rockets to Cancun thing?

Was the team planning a trip before they found out they somehow made the playoffs?
Is that why most of the Houston team was disappointed when Harden hit the shot that ended up winning game 3 and extending the series to 5 games?

I think it's a joke/reference to Nick Van Exel.

Did they move the game 6 of Pacers vs Raptors to Friday? But why?

I thought it was always Friday.

I still don't see a time.

Wish the NBA had an award for the best teammate. Draymond would surely have it down on lock:

Curry was overcome with emotion after the injury, crying in front of his teammates. Green admonished him: "Get out of here. Don't let them see you like this. Don't let them see you cry. We will hold you down. We got this. We will win this for you."

My condolences for the way Dwight gutted your team top to bottom.

Hes delusional.

Shame on any team paying that dude more than what hes worth. Max is a joke, hes a mid level exception type player.

This team needs to get blown up. And get an actual point guard too. No more failed trades.

Ty Lawson is available.

Just saw that Golden State's pace has been 8% slower without Curry, but the offensive efficiency has been nearly identical.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

The Blazers getting Dwight would get me to stop rooting for them, at least for the short term*. You've got a competent young squad who is learning how to play the game, and you want to bring in the guy who leaves a trail of destruction everywhere he goes just because he won a dunk contest 8 years ago? Fuck that. I seriously hope that doesn't come to fruition.

*I look forward to viewing this post a year from now saying "Thank God we got Dwight; dude's a beast and Stotts really got him focused!"

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Lin has played the only good games he'll have this series. Spo aint gonna let that PnR continue to exist as it stands.

dammit i was right and we still lost fml

 

[phanphare]

dammit i was right and we still lost fml

by taking away drives yall unlocked our 3-point shooting. it's like spo forgot why he was letting us in the paint in the first place.

 

[Gully State]

dammit i was right and we still lost fml

11 points 6 boards and 7 assists with a +6 +/- is a good game. He still got to the rim and when he didn't, he was finding cutters.

yup. just his presence on the floor helps everyone.

 

[Gully State]

B/c we call more set plays with him out (something like over 60% of offensive sets). When Curry is in, the coaches almost never call any set plays...
