Someone tell me why the hell we aren't going for D Howard right now???

[Mumo X]

OKC having the most talent is very debatable.

And all the talent in the world doesn't always equal chips. Mavs weren't the most talented team..

And i don't think OKC will win a chip with Westbrook at the helm. Unless he matures and defers to KD more.

then who got better talent than Thunder? Im waitin. We got the best shot blocker, a top 5 player in da league, a top 5 pg in da league. Then we have the Beard and Perk. That squad is scary. As for Westbrook, presti and the management wil monitor his game early in the season and see if he is ready to play 2nd fiddle to KD. If not here comes CP3. But im sure Russ wil improve his decision makin and come december 10 presti should hand him a max contract. Okc is nuthn without RW but its KDs team.

If the Lakers get Dwight.. They automatically become the favorite.. Especially if they can keep Pau... Or Lamar...

If they manage to keep Pau AND have D Howard it literally is a wrap niggas is done finito

I'll just compare them to the Lakers, if they get Dwight, since you said they still wouldn't be on the Thunder's level...

Dwight is the best shot blocker.
Kobe and Dwight are arguably top 5.
Westbrook > Fisher i'll give you that lol.
Also Ron, Pau, Bynum, Shannon Brown, Odom (2 will probably be out, but still)

A squad of Fisher, Kobe, Odom or Artest, Pau, Dwight w/ Shannon off the bench is better than anything OKC can put up.

Without Rus they not a dominant team bruh. They good

Without all his points and assist I don't think they make it to the playoffs.

Plus he's one of the top defenders and rebounders at his position.

agreed for all the jackin and not finishing close to the basket how he should.. hes a key cog to their success and is as good as everyones favorite new phenom in a lot of respects.. but they wont hear me.(talent wise)

I completely agree. He's a great player. He's a poor man's D Rose.

My thing he's he's trying to be the #1 option when it doesn't benefit the team. Not to mention he's immature.

 

[Mumo X]

The Same KD who couldnt even command the basketball from Westbrook and just let westbrook run wild in the playoffs with more shot attemtps ?? Sounds like he played 2nd fiddle to me

best believe me kid! Trust me, KD wil DEMAND the rock in crunch time this season. Last season he wuz on that Mr. Nice guy BS --- That aint happenin again. Dont be fool'd that KD wil come back the same player he wuz last season.

 

[eyes low]

lakers have no shot to get howard, they dont have the pieces for a trade. the magic dont want bad contracts back they want to get rid of them

That nigga do be jacking Lmao.

He miss a lot of layups, but he's top 5 in free throws attempted every year, that shit has value in a close game.

To me him and Rose is the same player except he shoots better.

You act as if you know this nigga personally. How do you know he won't be the same passive KD... That's his personality dude.

Aint you the same nigga that said Josh Freeman is one of the best in the league and the Bucs would be great/playoff team this year?

You be talkin out ur ass man

cbssports reported yesterday the lakers were goin after howard and chris paul

This shit makes me more optimistic....but I gotta see this shit on ESPN though so you know they really pushin that shit

Wholeheartedly agree.. they both need to work on their PG sense but yah rose is the better finisher Westbrook is the better shooter

you mean the same Pau from the playoffs earlier this year?

 

[Ant4523]

Yup....and the same one that beasted in the two years the Lakers took that chip. Let him be soft but still get 18 and 10 Howard will do tha rest

Im not saying that Gasol is old but you do understand that as players get older their skills begin to regress right? Two years ago was two years ago

Gasol wont have to do much with Dwight in the paint with him

 

[Ant4523]

So you're telling me that 1. He's old as hell now (31) so he can't do what he did two years ago or even last year when people said he was wack which he definitley was but still put up 15 and 9. Or that 2. Getting D Howard and Gasol playing better or at the same level he played at last year won't matter because Howards stats will make up for all of that AND more? What i'm saying is...it doesn't matter that he played weak last year or that he may drop off or play better this year. Because with Dwight in the middle it will just be more water under the bridge. I'd take a combo of Howard and Pau rather than Pau and Bynum any day of the week

I agree Gasol will be able to be his soft self and still produce while howard does the dirty work.

Right? Let him go Drake in the paint but D Howard will make up for it so it's all good

 

[Ant4523]

Lakers still so wack at point guard though....super garbage
