Re: 2019 Offseason Thread
Lakers expected to request permission to meet with Dwight Howard.
Is whatever the hell was wrong with him last year over with? Because the year before that he was actually pretty solid. If he’s actually motivated to put all his past behind him and try to win a ring he might be decent as a back up. Though same could be said for Melo and nobody wants him either so..
I kinda wanted Dwight to stick around on Memphis because I think he could help JJJ in learning how to develop his defense.. but at the same time he’s not the type of player they need otherwise.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread
D12 was really good in Charlotte. Played 81 games and dropped 16 & 12...
There were rumors guys were glad he left so I don't know if he was a locker room issue or if those were just rumors...Comment

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread
Lakers best two backup center options are Howard and Noah. Both brings baggage. I still prefer Howard, if he can stay healthy. They don't typically give McGee a lot of minutes, so he has decent chance on getting quality minutes. If he could average 12pts, 7-8 rebs, and 1-1.5 blocks off the bench, then thats what you would be looking for.Comment

If Dwight is even Charlotte Dwight he’s by far the best option available, and with some defense he might be a better fit than Boogie. I understand locker room and all those concerns, but if he’s even willing to go there I’m assuming he would understand that he’s walking into a situation where Bron, AD they are the alphas. I think he would understand he has a role to fill. If he’s not buying into that I don’t see him even signing in the first place.
Also, obviously personnel fit, chemistry, coaching, etc all play a major role.. but just in terms of talent on paper, if Dwight is even Charlotte Dwight this could be the best team top to bottom LeBron has played on.. and for sure that Anthony Davis has had. Now they may not fit together at all, but that’s somewhat of a separate argument.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread
Lakers planning individual workouts for Dwight Howard, Joakim Noah, Mo Speights and maybe Marcin Gortat per Woj.
I feel like Noah might be the more “safer” pick out of all of them.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread
Aren't Joakim and LeBron like each others least favorite player in the league? lol
Noah is probably the safest, because at the very least he can pass the ball, doesn't need/want touches, and he always plays hard. He won't clog the lanes and looked like a solid rotation player last season. Defense isn't what it was, but the defensive effort is still there. he gives little to no offense in terms of scoring, but I'm not sure that would be a huge issue. I think the gritty guys like him are the one thing the team is missing as well, he fills a need more so than the others in that regard IMO.
Gortat has looked pretty bad for a couple of years now, and did Speights even play a single minute last season lol? It's a plus that he can spread the floor but he's not helping them out defensively at all. Though Speights is still young.
Dwight is still the "if it works" best choice by a good margin. Especially if JaVale or AD end up needing to miss any games as well. Even McGee when he was playing well before he missed that time off with pneumonia is a guy who plays 20ish minutes.. If they are all about limiting AD's minutes as a center, or sliding back Bron/Kuz for long stretches they need a rotation piece that guy play 20 minutes a game or more if needed... Dwight is the only guy on that list that I think can do that.
I guess the workouts will tell more, but unless Noah blows them away I think Dwight might be the best choice.. If nothing else you can likely pick up one of the other 3 later in the year if the Dwight thing appears to not be working out.Comment
