gotta agree with you here (shocker).
he's been a model citizen unlike his LAL tenure.

But to get a 30 year old Howard (with "old man injuries") for a young Whiteside who's only 12/11 and 4 blocks who is a poor "team" player, yeah I'd do it. Pat Riley would be crazy not to.

Sources say they are discussing a 3-team deal with Hou, Mia, and Atl.

Dwight to ATL
Horford and Teague to MIA
Dragic, Whiteside, and Anderson to HOU

ATL also wants Winslow. Miami doesn't want to trade him.

What I mean is he's supposedly interested in being the primary option instead of the #2 guy. Doesn't that seem to be the consensus on his desires?

I have no clue how that team would work, but I would probably do it if I was Morey. Dwight isn't a building block anymore and I would take my chances on Dragic and Whiteside over Howard at this point.

I don't think so, he's not even the #2 option in HOU...but theres nothing that says he's "clearly not willing to play Robin". There haven't been any issues at all, he's a guy who just wants to win.

I disagree he can still be a 18-19pg scorer if getting more touches. He only gets the ball in the post a handful of times a game. His shooting %s are the best they've ever been and he's still one of the elite rebounders.

Well, if you think that, you're either the most optimistic of Rockets fans or he's done an amazing job of altering his image or attitude from Orlando and LA.

Reason there ain't been anybody wanting to go play with Kobe these last few years is because guys around the league saw that If Dwight couldn't make it work then no one could.

Never change boom...never change.

Or maybe Dwight's mental state couldn't handle Kobe's alpha dog mentality. It isn't a knock, not ever player can.

People don't want to go to the lakers because they're a team that would rather milk Kobe's last years and play like shite than try and put a competent team together and send Kobe home.

He is playing well right now, but he's 30 and hasn't looked the same.

It ain't that he couldn't handle it, just that a better opportunity presented itself down i10 in HTown.

"Boring" is code for "winning" when it comes to Los Spurs

"Exciting" is code for "clusterfrick" when it comes to the rockets

Morey loves him some Dragic. One of his regrets from a few years ago was letting him leave. Goran's a team player who will give up his own stats for the team.
