the offical dwight to the lakers thread

[OG_StankBrefs]

wade has looked flabby and sick as well but that surgery will help, but kobe also has to go back to germany for his other leg treatment. We still haven't seen bean back to full strength yet.

Well when he gets to full strength my opinion might change but like i said earlier I made dat order in regards to what players can do on BOTH sides of da court. Not just scoring wise.

I gave all dem players props for what dey do but dat's just how I personally view em. Err body can make dey own lists breh.

Turner would fit better at the 3. He can play point forward like Iggy.


@ your dream of having Iggy come true—to a rival team in your own division.

I don't begrudge you for picking Wade or Kobe (though I don't agree)...but why you say you gotta wait to see kobe back at full strength but not Wade?

Afflalo is who he is, he's been in the league long enough that we know he's a solid player but nothing more.

The issue is that the Rockets could offer younger potentially better players, and take back one contract as well. That is what makes it a bad trade, that another team was willing to do more, even without any type of assurances from Dwight.

I agree with these sentiments, but Afflalo was more efficient in the 2nd half when his playing time and usage increased (43% 3pt, 50% fg, 17.9 ppg). I also agree I liked the better scouted, higher drafted picks available right now from Houston as opposed to waiting for future picks to pan out. But I think it means they LOST the trade, but I don't think they're doomed like the way everyone is reacting.

Plus what team would trade for ANY player without checking the make sure they'll be healthy enough to play.

I don't think they are doomed, however they definitely could have done better, and with all the time they had you would have thought they'd end up with a better deal.

 

[Mic-Nificent]

Both of whom were healthy when the teams traded for them.

Tracey had no injury history before going to the Magic and Hill was expected to fully recover (and was balling at first).

i come back on like 8 nikkas quoted me

you see a problem with that statement?

Because eam tho when Wade was he still contributed wit his defense. Kobe's D aint nowhere near Wade's imo. If Kobe aint scorin then his impact on da court is really takin a hit whereas if Wade has an off night offensively he can still rebound, block shots, get steals, etc.

So if Kobe get's to "full strength" n can defend better than he has been (which i dont really see happening) and still score like crazy then he MAY take a sliiiiiiiiight edge solely based on his scoring prowess.

But as of right now even at full strength i'm takin a younger, more defensively present Wade over an older, offensively driven Kobe.

100% agree, I thought they were gonna get a piece of their own to build around, a legit pick, and serious cap relief. Or I thought they would get a rising star, 2 quality pieces and a pick. I didn't think they were gonna take young pieces / protected picks combined with salting the earth for flexibility / tanking purposes.

@ Masai dealing everyone he resigns. breh is probably looking at Wilson Chandler right now like
