    LOL

    Swaggy P nor JvMcGee were never marquee players and don't expect to be treated as such.

    Dwights game has been obsolete for 4-5 years in the modern NBA. He would kill the Warriors spacing. At least McGee would work without the ball - Dwight will set up on the block and demand it.

    It's a moot point because there is nonway known thr Warriors will sign him - for the reasons above!

    I don't even want Howard back for cheap...he's a proven locker room killer...I hope he does go to the Warriors!

    boggles my mind to think any NBA fan believes Howard could improve GSW rather than make them worse. Aside from Dwight himself, Warriors are the main reason the Dwight's of the world are obsolete....even if he weren't a head-case, selfish, lockerroom cancer.

    I honestly believe only Rockets fans still think Howard makes teams better rather than worse...because of some on-going 2015-16 argument about Harden v Howard.

    Yeah, on the bench, never playing...wasting a spot

    In 7 games against the Rockets, McGee played 3 minutes total (all in garbage time of the 41pt route). He didn't play. And that included 4 games of no Iggy, and many extra minutes for Looney and Bell at center.

    Warriors would never play Howard against the Rockets.

    If I am Dwight I would join the Warriors and be the best teammate ever for one year. This is a guaranteed title and would help his legacy a lot. Just swallow your pride for a single season, show some maturity, and coast to a NBA championship. After that, go back to being a me first selfish ballplayer.

    Dwight Howard on the floor we beat the Warriors in 6. He can’t guard Harden. Or Paul. Take turns exposing him and Curry. Or leave Howard on Harden and Curry on Capela. BBQ Chicken

    At this point, his lack of lateral quickness, due to age and injuries, has made Howard pretty much obsolete, even if he miraculously changes his attitude (which doesn't seem to be the case, based on that interview).

    If I'm Dwight, I sign with the Spurs and have Pop try to find a way to make me useful in today's NBA. If that doesn't work, then for sure there is no hope and either cash the checks playing for crappy teams, or retire.

    3 interesting places for Dwight to end up.

    1. Washington. Replaces Gortat who is apparently on the way out.
    2. New York Knicks. With Porzingis, they have a nice front line.
    and......

















    3. Lakers. If Lebron and George go.....hmmmmm

    Dude's a cancer. It will be 4 teams in 4 years.
    I defended him during his stop in Houston (look how that ended). But he's just not liked.
    Hope he goes to GSW. He'll bring them down!
