the offical dwight to the lakers thread

Isn't Dwight's back so bad he can't even get on an airplane to see the kids at his summer camp? Great move.

You're a Kobe Stan so i'd expect you to stop reading after 1. if Kobe's name isn't dere.

Nah Bron is better. But Wade?

 

[Real Talk of NY]

Why is Dwight's back such an issue now? I don't remember ANYBODY talking about it when he was rumored to go to the Nets...shyt was talked about as an after thought.

Now all of a sudden Dwight will never be the same again...

Same as how when Nash was rumored to go to the Knicks, Raptors, and Mavs all anybody talked about how how much he can help a team. Soon as the Lakers got him nikkas started talking about him being flabby and sick and a huge liability on defense.

time will tell. I just remember when Grant Hill got hurt, and signed with Orlando. No one was talking about the ankle, and we know the rest.

Lets not forget

How is Bosh better than Pau? Only thing Bosh has on him is range....Pau actually had a better individual season than Bosh..

Bosh's defense>>>>>>>>>>Gasol's

I'm not just goin by offensive abilities.

 

[IGSaint12]

I mean dey all bring different shyt to da table but dis is just my opinion:

1. Bron ( He's Bron)
2. Wade (if his knee is better + his defense gives him da edge)
3. Kobe ( looks at times but he's still da mamba)
4. Dwight (Best big man in da game outside Bynum)
5. Bosh (Big man wit finesse, range, and all around game is good shyt)
6. Gasol ( A bit soft but still a good player)
7. Nash (Old but can still play a great point guard)
8. Allen ( Is an awesome shooter n can put da dagger in nikkas but is limited outside of dat shyt)

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.

who's guarding Dwight? Miami can't play small ball anymore wihch would be their advantage against LA

Miami will do whatever they wanna do, Dwight ain't Shaq and LA doesn't have snipers

They got three young players (Afflalo is improving)
They get 3 future 1st (which i agree they needed to get at least 1 unprotected.. but they serve as ammo to move up or get other players)
Al Harrington is only 50% guaranteed for his last 2 years (trade bait / easy buyout)
I don't want to pay Ryan Anderson $9 mill if he's not playing with great C (which is only if they get Bynum which doesn't let them blow it up / they didn't want Gasol), and blowing the team up means their own picks more likely to net them elite talent.
They didn't win the trade but I see the logic (even if I liked Houston as target for their desperation).

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.

Orlando may know Dwight got a bad back. Dont be so quick to celebrate nikkas.

nikkas are discounting this and forgot how David Robinson and Larry Johnson played after having back surgery. Having a bad back is NO JOKE. I hope that Dwight is 100% because I want to see the Heat vs Lakers with everybody at full strength in the finals.

Isn't Dwight's back so bad he can't even get on an airplane to see the kids at his summer camp? Great move.

no, that was just his excuse...cuz apparently he was at dancing in his box at some sporting event just days before that summer camp thing came out.

That's probably just B.S., dude just doesn't want to be in Orlando, using the back as an excuse.

 

[Rekkapryde]

LWO always gets their man.

 

[DoubleClutch]

what happen if kobe lose with this team

haha, better yet, what happen if he win? We all know Dwight will carry him......just like Shaq did

 

[LittleLordBboy]

You can't be serious....Yea that sounds like a big 3 to me

Don't try and be a glass is half full guy. Orlando made a pretty bad trade as it stands. Only way it can turn is if the draft picks turn out to be studs. Other than that

I'm not saying they're the nucleus of a team, but they all have potential to be cheap, quality pieces for a future elite piece that could be added through draft / FA. They picks they get can be ammo to move up in draft or trade for established players (I agree they needed to get unprotected picks). The cap space allows them to take advantage of other people's mistakes. And by blowing up the team their picks should have more value. They LOST the trade, but it shouldn't doom them unless they screw up all their future moves.

 

[Mic-Nificent]

Dwight been walking around L.A. this whole time chilling...He just need to do rehab....


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