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

[coop9889]

What are Dwight Howards strengths and weaknesses?

Strength = Rebounding, Size, Strength, Blocking

Weaknesses = Post Moves, Free throw Shooting

Doesn't mean he can't improve. Doesn't mean he won't be an offensive output. Dude, it's not like this guy is a Ben Wallace type defensive player. You average over 20 ppg.... that's more than suitable.

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

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

Lol you mad nigga? Either way we gon kill if we got the Spaniard and Superman so it's whatever take it how you want it

Never mad lol all I'm sayin is Dwight Howard is not Superman and never will be and for him to be the only center in the league worth mentioning he needs to step his game up in the post then he'll offically be a beast until then...........................

I'm not saying he can't improve all Im saying is that he's not an offensive beast lol

 

[coop9889]

I'm not saying he can't improve all Im saying is that he's not an offensive beast lol

But what center is?

As far as centers, last year he was #1 in PPG, #1 in off reb, #2 in fg %, #6 in assists.

So... come on, he's one of the best centers in the league offensively too, if we are going by stats.

And this isn't a matter of comparing him to players in NBA history, that's completely irrelevant to this discussion. lmao..

Fuck the Lakers and fuck Kobe he will never be MJ no matter how many rings the Lakers buy him now Im mad LOL... Real shit though I see it as a good addition for that transition when Kobe retires though... If they got D Howard they wont really have to start over like that when Kobes done... Whats up with them gettin Chris Paul though

I can only think of 5 centers including D Howard right now... And its not about comparing him to other centers in NBA history what I'm saying if for his size and the lack of centers in the league today he should be goon offensively... Who are your 10 ten centers in the league? and dont name no power forwards trying to play center

It doesn't matter who I think are top 10, I think D Howard is the best. Matter of fact, I think he's the best offensively too. He's the best "offensive beast" center in the league.

Prove me wrong.

The best offensive center in the league by default and not even by much but a beast REALLY? And those are only the top 3 centers in the league... Check out how watered down the center position is

Out of all the centers, yes. And that's all this discussion is about.

So he's a 1.5 points better than Bargnani offensively and he's an offensive beast... GTFOH lol

And Bargnani doesn't even play the post like that either if at all

Soooo are you're gonna do is focus on the points? He also averages 4 off rebounds. Pretty beasty.

But him being a beast isn't the point.

My original point was that Gasol wouldn't have to do much with Dwight in the paint with him. You said he's not an offensive beast. I proceed to prove there is no better center offensively.

Case closed.

My whole point in this thread was about his offensive so what are you talking about?

I just explained it. If you don't get it, you don't get it.

No biggie..

dont play with my emotions like that...........plus both big men for howard is too much unless jameer is comin back in da deal

 

[coop9889]

Wherever Dwight goes you'd have to imagine Turkoglu being packaged in there b/c of his ridiculous contract.

I heard lakers might get A.I.
