They literally wasted years of his prime.

Lakers and Rockets are awful teams. The way he has played for the Hawks prove it was never dwight that was the issue, it was just those awful ****s.

Harden dominates ball possession, but he does pass.

Are you kidding? Based on how the Lakers managed during the season, they were going to build around Kobe & Dwight for the next solid 3-5 yrs. but no, going to the Rockets was apparently his best option. Had Dwight been part of the tanking process, it would've been Pau/Julius at 4.

He wants to be THE MAN, but he's not willing to share the spotlight, couldn't handle it as well, couldn't handle LA pressure. Wanted Kobe out, didn't want it to be Kobe & Dwight, but he wasn't capable of carrying a team post-Magic. That whole shit show was all because of him.

The decisions he has made has always been because of him wanting to be the guy. Rockets, Hawks.... surprised he signed with the Rockets, the Kobe effect was too strong that he settled for a James Harden who's somewhat lowkey and/or w/ a laid back personality.

Then that's when the Lakers turned really shit post-Dwight. If it's anything, it's just really his poor decision making.

Dwight sucks. He wasted his own life. He always quits as soon as things get hard.


Stay tuned, Hawks fans.

yup. He was actually still good and spry in his laker year but the actual surgery in the off-season took away some natural athleticism he never got back.

Meh this wasn't prime Steve Nash here and he definitely wasn't making anyone else better so I'm not sure why it would be Dwight whose pointed out as not being successful with the Lakers that year - nobody was.

It doesnt matter. When you refuse to run pick and rolls with one of the best at it, it shows how ignorant you are as a player. You want touches just because? OR YOU WANT TO WIN AND DO WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN. Dude will never have a ring.

I think it took failures in both L.A. and Houston to humble him a little. He seems to be accepting his role better in Atlanta... but it's still early.

Meh who knows, I don't know the inner workings of the background, he definitely has a soft mentality or has shown to at times but he also like the other poster said always comes to play in the playoffs. So I don't believe he's always at fault like people like to paint him.

I'm interested to see how great the Rockets are without him this year.
