Thread: Report: Dwight has stong interest in Rockets and Mavs

  1. #26
    It's how it's shown on Hoopsworld. Also, Spotrac shows the cap hit as 8 million each year as well, but the contract as 5/5/15.

    I believe had the Knicks matched, they would have had a cap hit of 5/5/15, but for whatever reason that it's worded in the CBA, the Rockets are allowed a cap hit split evenly over the length of the contract.

    Yeah, a big 3 forming in Texas is becoming a reality. Thing is rockets have the assets to get it done and Dallas has the space/money to get it done.

    We're either looking at cp3/harden/Dwight or cp3/dirk/Howard. Either one is better than the Miami heat.

    But scary thing is if the rockets were able to pull it off, they would still have parson at the 3. Smh

    Do you know who Lebron James is? Any legit big 3 with him included is the best one.
    We want more! We want more!

    Dirk won't be playing for much longer anyway. If he goes to Dallas, it'll wind up being Mayo forced into that 3rd slot. Dirk will do well for the time being, I guess.

    Bosh and d12 are a wash. Cp3 is a little better than wade right now but Lebron is light years better than anyone not name durant. Rockets Not better.

    The heat aren't dominating because of their big 3, they are dominating because of their role players. Wade has flashes and lebron has off games at times. Only consistent player put of the big 3 is bosh (well the most consistent). And that's with him being the odd man out, they don't even run plays for bosh.

    At least with those big 3s I mentioned, each player compliments each other. Lebron and wade basically are the same player.

    Cp3 setting up harden with dimes and Howard in the post flows a lot better than lebron playing point, wade cutting to the basket, and bosh standing around waiting for a pass.

    I think Dwight won't be dumb enough to make the same mistake as he did in Orlando. That is, want to go to a team with an aging star(s) and no pieces with them(Mavs). I think this time he goes to Houston with James Harden to hopefully build a contender for years. CP3, however, is a toss up.

    Bosh is only a wash with Howard if Howard is still derailed due to his back next season. A healthy Howard is much more valuable than Bosh.

    This. Asik backs him up or gets moved. Probably the latter.

    That's debatable. Bosh is also more valuable on a team he is not the third fiddle. But he plays his role well. Jury still out on Dwight cause he will be third fiddle on Houston and Dallas big 3's. worked out well in LA though.

    If it weren't for James Harden dissappearing except for one game and the bench providing 15-20 points a game (how about Mike Miller dropping 23 points in game 5), I can guarantee you we would be singing a different tune about Miami right now.

    And then you have to take into account how crappy of a coach Scott is.

    A healthy Dwight, even with his lackluster post game, is a top 3 player in the league no doubt.

    You don't think trying to guard Lebron had something to do with Harden disappearing act. Ok. And Dwight top 3? Really. I will give you he is the best center in the game when healthy. But if Dwight's your best player you not winning much. Ask Orlando.

    Hell if either of the Texas Big 3's come to fruition, he will be the third best player on his own team.

    Lebron was sticking Durant most of the time. I credit game-planning for Harden more than Lebron's defense. And Harden was missing some good shots that series, dude was just cold.

    And ask Orlando? Yeah, you mean the Dwight's Magic who won over 50 games for 4 seasons and went to the NBA Finals Magic? Yeah, you can't be talking about them.

    So you are telling me a healthy Dwight < Harden and Healthy Dwight < Past his prime Dirk? Wow.

    That's the Orlando I'm talking about. Still waiting on that ring from D12. And Harden was guarding Lebron a lot that series so he was maybe a little tired on offense. Just maybe.

    That's exactly what I'm saying. When you need a clutch bucket who you want taking the shot? Harden, Dirk, or Dwight? Can Dwight even get his own shot when it matters.

    By the way I like how you concede cp3 better than Dwight. So I'm guessing your top 3 Lebron, CP3, Dwight. So you telling me Dwight better than Durant, Melo, hell a healthy Kobe?

    During that time period with a healthy Dwight in ORL, yes, my top 3 was Lebron, Wade, Howard, with Kobe at #4 and CP3 at #5.

    But now, Lebron, CP3, Durant.

    If you haven't played for MIA, LA, San Antonio, Houston, Detroit, or BOS, chances are you haven't won one, lol. It's accomplishment for the fact he did it in a market like Orlando, you know, small.

    Dude, clutch is a factor that makes a player good, just like speed and athleticism. But to say a healthy Dwight who is giving you 20/10 every game is not better than a volume shooting Harden and over the hill Dirk is ridiculous. I'm not the biggest Dwight fan but dude has accomplished a lot, even with his limited game.
