Would you trade for Dwight?

[BrianFromWA]

Howard: Torn Labrum. I don't know what that means in basketball terms, but he's not throwing a slider for a while.

Jameer Nelson had this and came back in a 'miraculous, unprecedented" 3 1/2 months.

 

[illmatic99]

Fuck. I just traded for him last week in fantasy.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I don't see Dwight coming to the Blazers ever.

Agreed. I would hate to have a repeat of the drama in Orlando.

No way is Howard going to go back to LAL next year to play "under" Kobe:

Here's the link.

Oh the schadenfreude.

Most obvious fantasy player grab ever: Antawn Jamison. Get him now! Dwight/Pau/Hill all out this week.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

He has flashes of great play but he's clearly not the same after his back injury. Nerve damage so severe, doctors had retirement as a possible option.

In short, NO.

I literally didn't know what schadenfreude meant. Until the Lakers this season.

He's not the same player

Someone said he'd solve all of the Blazers' defensive issues, but I'm assuming that person hasn't seen Dwight play the past year or so. He's lazy and does a terrible job rotating. Guarding the PnR? Forget about it.

Kobe is calling him out for a reason.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Not even a little bit interested. All those years using 'roids are going to continue to break him down.

What does it say that the Germans have a word for it?

Well I didn't watch him much last year but he seemed fine. This year however he was playing at 70% health (at best) so some issues are to be expected.

With all that nerve damage I doubt he'll ever be 100% again.

From experience, back injuries suck more than knee injuries. And I've had both.

I hadn't thought about it. Delighting in the failure of others does seem rather Germanic.

(I'm 1/3 German so I can say that.)

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I would exchange Howard for Hickson (even though, believe it or not, Hickson has a better PER) just because Howard is a better defender and can defend centers.

Or at least I would if I didn't hate Howard SO MUCH. He really is a complete dick. One of those "Devout Christians" with about ten baby mamas in ten different towns.

No way in hell would I try to pair Hickson and Howard because they'd just get in each other's way. Hickson would be bumped out and his rebounding and shooting % would go way down.

Does he really have that many kids?
