Dwight Howard begins recruiting Melo/Lebron

[TheMarkMadsen]

I don't think Dwight realizes how much his numbers + touches will drop playing with these guys. He'll be regulated to what he didn't wanna be in LA. Rebounder, Paint Defender , Garbage bucket scorer.

He never stop with the contradictions. "I don't wanna play pick and roll"

*goes to Team who runs a primarily Pick and Roll system*

"I don't wanna play with Kobe, I need more touches"

*goes to Team with a Ball dominant SG who can't defend*

Oh you didn't know?

He wanted to go to Houston so he could take 14 shots per game instead of 13

And losing in the first round with Pau, that wasnt enough help to avoid the sweep.

He wanted to team up with a first team all nba player so he could extend his playoff visit to 6 games instead of 4

Why do Rocket fans think they can keep Parsons if Melo signs? You'd need to renounce Parson, remove Lin and Asik.

Are we all just supposed to believe Harden is going to sacrifice being the ball dominant guy for the team just because he did so in OKC? He could have shown that this year with talent on the team and didn't. Houston's offense consisted of Harden playing hot potato with guys until one took a three or he drove in to get a foul.

The team might look good on paper but I don't see this working if it goes down and I'm not sure why Lebron would even think about doing this. Melo? Maybe. If you're Lebron though, this was a first round exit team last year in a tough competitive Western conference. He'd be better off going to Cleveland again in a weaker conference where he's almost guaranteed at least second round. Sorry Rockets fans but I don't see this happening but if you get Melo, more power to you in figuring out how he and Harden will share the ball.

Not sure if they're "trying to find" these situations. But obviously you would want to put yourself in the best situation to win whether it be a superstar or the 15th man. Basically, what im trying to say is thay I dont think anyone in the nba is going to sign with a trash team so they can try and claw their way to a championship only to never win again. That would be a great story for fans to hear but personally these players arent going to choose THAT over what could potentially be a dynasty..... duh.

Well, you don't have to go to such extremes that you go to a super team that already has a couple of top 10 players on it or you go to a cellar dweller… There is some in between ground there.

But hey, if you're the type of fan that enjoys gutless superstars, then more power to you. Jordan doesn't join Bird or Magic. Wilt doesn't decide to play with Russell.

Maybe Lebron can join the Clippers to have three top ten players on the same team in their prime. If you take that route, or one similar to it, then it says a lot about his lack of mental toughness.

Harden, Melo, Lebron, Dwight - most hyped/hated team in history. 5 peat or bust.

They can't comprehend how slighted Parsons is feeling right now, he was supposed to be their guy at the three , first they don't pick up his option and now their is rumblings of them chasing Bron AND Melo? That guy is gonna walk, he doesn't wanna be a role player anymore , he JUST came into his own in this League. Hell, Harden too, but I don't think he nor Dwight minds being a number 2 or 3 guy on a roster.

He must be looking at D12 sideways right now after he fought so hard to recruit him, and now he's the odd man out.

Man they will be more hated than the Heat. Who could have imagined that.

[Jameerthefear]

Damn. That team would be amazing. LBJ/Dwight PnR would be so unstoppable.

[Lebron23]

Damn. That team would be amazing. LBJ/Dwight PnR would be so unstoppable.

Long time no see.

[Jameerthefear]

Long time no see.

yep

At least click the link of thread I posted
Houston can easily keep Parsons and get LeBron.

they didnt pick up his option in order to make him a restricted FA. He cant walk unless they let him.

If they picked up his option, then he would be a UFA next year.

Laker fans would seriously commit suicide if that team won a title.
