would you rather?

I think if I'm whiteside, Portland looks like the most desirable team in the nba. I think a lot of players around the league would love to be part of what's going on here.
Could you imagine all of the individual egos that need to be stroked in that locker room in miami?
In my mind, it's going to be 4 teams in the whiteside hunt. Lakers, Knicks, Portland, Miami. Idk who whiteside will pick, but portland has a shot. And regardless, Howard is cancer.

Whiteside seems like a cancer

Good question.

Depends on:
(1) Howard's back. Not too long ago, I thought he was toast because of his bad back. Now? IDK?
(2) Howard's cost. If he's willing to forgo a huge contract and/or take a two year deal with a team option for year three, because he just wants to play in a positive environment for a change, and possibly be the final piece for a championship, then I'd have to consider him.
(3) Howard's attitude. See (2) above. If he'd do (2), surely he'd be on board with whatever Stotts and Dame tell him his role is on the team, right?

I think Dame+CJ+the mythical Dwight Howard I described above is better than Dame+Boogie (and his supposedly questionable brain).

A fan I'm not.

Is he? He might be. But is that impression based on more than the fact he didn't get along with Kobe (is Shaq a cancer too? Because Shaq clearly hates Kobes guts.), and he doesn't seem to like playing with Harden (who the fuck would?).

Yikes.

Apparently DMC is having foot problems that "get more painful every year."

At his size this will only get worse. Foot problems for bigs are just as bad as knee issues.

No wonder he always looks like he's in a pissy mood. And I thought it was just from being stuck in Sacto.

I'm just going off of what has happened to every team he's been on. Coaches being fired, teams blowing up, etc.
If this was the Orlando Howard, I think the risk would be worth it though.
