Why the F would you trade Plumlee for Howard? LOL

Plumlee's stock ^
Howards stock v

Beside Plumlee is already a beast. Howard isn't making half of the passes Plumlee makes. Dude is an absolutely perfect fit in our system. Hustle, athleticism, looks to make the extra pass, and extremely dangerous on the roll.

Howard is better in the paint and a better back down defender but that is where it ends.

you completely forgot that Mason is not an asshole, coach cancer diva with no signs of loyalty beyond his bank account

Gimme a break about a sense of loyalty. What "sense of loyalty" has Plumlee shown? I'm not at all trying to pick on him, but he's never been a free agent before. He has no choice in the loyalty matter. Does anyone that leaves as a free agent mean they show no loyalty? It's a business. If Plumlee can get shipped after 2 years in Brooklyn, with no concern ofloyalty, I'm sure he can go to the highest bidder when free agency comes about. Did Neil show no loyalty to Barton and TRob, to Rolo and Wesley, to Nico? People expect these athletes to show loyalty, but it's their job, we're the fans.

Maybe, but their salaries are off by $6.5 mil so a straight across trade wouldn't work.

Adding Caspi on Sacramento side makes it work. I just don't see Sacrmaneto at all trading COusins for Howard, and for Houston not wanting Cousins back over Plumlee. It's just basically a non-starter.
 
Man fuck this I'm going to defend Howard. He was the scapegoat in LA and now he's the scapegoat in Houston. Kobe and Harden are ball hogging assholes nobody likes to play with, but since they're superstar face of the franchise players nobody dares call them out on it. Much easier to blame it on soft ass Dwight.

Stan Van Gundy wasn't a ball hog

So what if he wanted to leave orlando? He was young and was probably tired of carrying that team on his shoulders every night. The way he handled his exit was immature but I don't blame him for wanting bigger things at that stage in his life. He probably realized it was a mistake. He didn't stay in LA.
 
And btw, dwight was fun in orlando. He actually enjoyed basketball. Van gundy was good for him. He made a mistake leaving

Stotts and Lillard is what he needs.

You can leave a franchise without contributing to getting the coach fired...I think Howard has been part of 3 coaches getting fired now..but I respect your opinion to lobby for him....for me...too many red flags...
 
I just believe in Lillards leadership. He is a selfless superstar. Just what Dwight needs. Dwight's never struck me as the batman type. He's always been a Robin, but Robin needs to eat too. Lillard and the rest of this team has no problrm sharing and I highly doubt Howard is a guy that demands the ball no matter what. Just don't ignore him completely like those assholes in LA and Houston. He can help you win and he plays hard every night.

Dwight Howard is a punk, rivers statement stands!
 
It's like some of you forgot what a bitch he was in our series vs them. I used to be a big Howard supporter, I wanted him a few years back. After that series I changed my mind, he doesn't have a winners attitude.

Howard playoff stats: 19.5ppg, 14.1rpg, 2.6bpg.

Against Portland in the playoffs: 26ppg, 13.7rpg, 2.8bpg


What a bitch.

There are countless talented atheletes who don't have a winners attitude. You'd have to be new to sports not to know that.

What the hell does this even mean? How did he not have a "winners attitude?" He dominated that series. It's not his fault kevin mchale didn't adjust his gameplan.
 
You can say whatever you want about Howard, but even through all the issues with LA and now Houston , he's played hard every night.
 
Dream: that NO stays Pat and doesn't trade anybody, then signs KD and Sergio Rodriguez in the off season.

Hope: that if NO does make a move its worthwhile and doesn't include CJ

Dread: that NO trades for someone ridiculous like Shabazz Mohammad or what's left of Dwight's Knees after years of underage girls
 
Shabazz is interesting because he's still young enough to where there might be more to him, but he's been this selfish player since ucla so I'd probably pass.

Pun intended.

200 dollar body, 2 cent brain. No thanks
 
How ironic would it be if we did get Howard though. It was Olshey who traded for TRob that helped clear cap space for Houston to go after Dwight. That relationship between Olshey and Morey is noteworthy here.
