They don't have the advantage on the speed, their best player is above 30++, no more young legs like Jordan Poole. But maybe they see something in Dwight that will not be perfect fit. Maybe Howard really lost some steps as he himself is also on the twilight of his career.
They've got outside shooting and it's still a different game when you've got a big man and then can also shoot outside but that's not Dwight to say but Jokic.

As they're saying that they will remain with their current roster, so they would just go offensive and outside shooting as their weapon.

I don't think there's anything wrong with their small-ball lineup. They won a championship with that lineup, so I guess there's nothing to change. That was also the time when Poole was playing like a true superstar. However, in the next season after he got a max deal with the Warriors, he calmed down and wasn't able to perform at that level again, so that was the main problem, actually.

Man, that’s a bummer. I wonder what went wrong. It seemed like a done deal. Those reports seem like they’re from accurate sources though. Dwight Howard seemed like a perfect fit for them. He must either still be a chaotic individual off the court, or old age has come at him fast. He was just winning a championship ring 3 years ago.
Yeah, it looks like he's really going for it but then this is the catch that we've never expected.

I'm already expecting that. Not by the Golden State Warriors just want to give a chance for Dwight Howard or offer him a veteran contract, but simply, they don't need him as part of the roster as they always have a flexible roster since then with no big man on the lineup. I also doubt that even the Warriors will sign him, he will just be a bench warmer and mostly do clapping around on the bench.

The Golden State Warriors have built by small lineup since then. Instead of giving their strength to the paint, they focused more on the outside shooting that's why they don't need a big man on their lineup. On the defensive end, it's not also a problem not having a big man as NBA today isn't that fully dominated by big man nowadays.

Dwight Howard should just enjoy being an import of the outside league and enjoy good money flowing to him before retiring.
With such money that they'll give to him as a contract, I don't think that they'll just put him on the bench but then, that won't happen anymore as this news comes out.

Ah, crap. Looks like they will be staying with the small ball type of play. Well, it's their loss, and I doubt what they are saying about finding a big man later is true, it's just another statement to make it look like it's not Dwight Howard that they need.
No big man and their roster is still intact for which they are believing on it. Just like how this decision has came naturally, it's just majority of us really thought that he'll be signing. Maybe they'll be having some space for him in the future and there can be change of decisions as well.

Ok, I guess the Warriors will have to look for another big man still? Or will tend still contend with the small line up. But I do not think that it will be enough, currently we have big men, like Jokic, Embiid and even Giannis or AD, and with Draymond mostly playing them, it will be hard for the Warriors with the small line up that they have right now.

Some of players that changes team offseason: John Collins Hawks to Jazz, Dennis Schroder Lakers to Raptors, Kristaps Porziņģis Wizards to Celtics, Obi Toppin Knicks to Pacers, Max Strus Heat to Celtics, Bruce Brown Nuggets to Pacers, Joe Harris Nets to Piston, Lonnie Walker 4 Lakers to Nets, Joe Ingles to Magic and Michael Beasley to Bucks.
Max Strus wouldn't vomeback to Celtics he's signing to Cavaliers this time around. And, it's not Michael Beasley tbh but Malik Beasley, was shocked to see the Bucks would be interested to Michael Beasley when he's already playing on the CBA and no rumors if he'll be back again though he play great there.
Gabe Vincent as well goes to the Lakers, him and Strus are big part of the Heat's run last season leading up to their Final appearance. But I guess with that kind of performance they've showed, they have been offered a good contract and the Heat can't match it.

Same with the case of Bruce Brown, he is also instrumental to Nuggets winning their NBA championship, but then again he has to move forward with a good offer from the Pacers that he can't refused, so good for him.
I guess that's just a good venture for these players and it's not that bad if they want to increase their contract, they deserve it. I think with Strus and Vincent it was a good run for them that they get those minutes without their stars Herro and Oladipo and made it in the playoffs. Bruce Brown and with that $45M two-year contract that he signed in was really a no-brainer if I may ask, that's a good deal to grab.
Strus and Vincent really shone for the Miami Heat, and they used that as an opportunity to secure good deals. However, these players are considered role players as they aren't as consistent as the real superstars. Nevertheless, I'm still happy for them. There are certainly a lot of great players in the NBA just waiting for their moment to shine, and although injuries are unfortunate, sometimes they can be a blessing in disguise for players destined to excel.

Media makes it looks like a done deal that's why many Warriors and Howards fan that it was a success deal between both parties. But news came out and this is unfortunate events since fans is really hype up for the fact that Warriors will get a legit center now. It seems that Kerr will stick to his small ball line up and this is what Warriors fans worried about since many think that they will be dominated back again by Lakers or Nuggets.
That's why we shouldn't assume anything until there's an actual contract in place. The hype they created led people to invest in the story. They knew that the Warriors are a popular team, and people's reactions showed that they believed Howard would be a great addition to the team. However, this news is truly disappointing.
You can't blame the fans, mate. This is our favorite basketball league, and if a team that we also like has some updates regarding improving their lineup, it should excite us. I think fans would not be interested if Howard was rumored to sign with weaker teams like the Rockets, Pistons, or any other teams at the bottom of the standings.

At least we have a clear answer now that Howard is not going to the Warriors, so we can discuss other rumors instead.

You want news everyone about Dwight Howard's development together with the Golde State Warriors? Here's what we've got.

Warriors Will Not Sign Dwight Howard After Two-Day Visit, per Report

Warriors pass on signing Dwight Howard to maintain roster flexibility, per report

Many thought that it's like 99% of him signing on the current roster of the Warriors but then, that little percentage of failing prevailed.

Man, that’s a bummer. I wonder what went wrong. It seemed like a done deal. Those reports seem like they’re from accurate sources though. Dwight Howard seemed like a perfect fit for them. He must either still be a chaotic individual off the court, or old age has come at him fast. He was just winning a championship ring 3 years ago.

I also thought that it was a done deal already as Howard is a sho-in for the Warriors and it might work for him and for the Warriors as well. Maybe we will know what Dwight Howard didn't passed. Perhaps maybe his age or his antics in and out of the court.

Or just the Warriors just looking for a swing man as they have already Draymond and Saric and other names mentioned as well that they could experimented and developed to become a good back up Center for them.

Thanks, I think that Raptors just taken a gem on them. Coming from the high offer of Lakers before but then Schroder declined that offer and then comes back with the little offer made by Lakers again. After the good run of Lakers last season but didn't have a good start but a good ending and as well as his spectacular performance he's got during the FIBA world cup that has made Germany their world cup title that he's lead. Well, Raptors did really acquired someone that's in their favor and he'll for sure gonna be showing us more of his better plays.

It would seem that Howard was literally one step away from returning to the NBA, especially when there were rumors of Warriors veterans approving the idea of bringing Dwight into the fold.
It would be interesting to know what exactly went wrong, although I think either Howard failed to impress Warriors management during the interview process or he didn't accept the role he was offered.
Everybody thought he was already about to sign with the Warriors but it didn't happen. When things were almost happening smoothly, it went south.
The hype was already there, but it's unfortunate to know that this may not materialize. I don't have all the details yet since the article I read doesn't specify. I'm not sure if it's the Warriors not wanting to sign Howard or if Howard chose to play with another team. As of now, there has been no update on which team he will play for.

Howard surely isn't aiming for a big salary, as he knows he's worth a veteran contract. But we also know that CP3 and Howard would make a good tandem. Unfortunately, it's been canceled, so let's put an end to the speculation.

We will know about that soon and maybe there's a third party that intervene for this deal and that's why the Warriors management probably seen that possible scenario so instead of letting things happen, they're the first one to decline the deal and to make it clear to the world that they're not going to sign Dwight. Hoping that there's really another team that's interested of signing him.

Maybe, as they are checking if Dwight will be fit, but maybe they see that it won't fit to what they are looking or maybe also that there
are things that affect the decision from the management.

We don't know if it's all about the skills and capabilities or there are also part of the negotiations that both
side didn't agree upon, just for my personal take, though.

I try to look at their big men line up and this is the name that comes up, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Usman Garuba on a two-way.

I'm not familiar with the two names, but maybe they are more impressive that Dwight. And we all know that the Warriors loves to developed new players like in the case of Kuminga or even Wiseman (but they have to trade him).

So let's see if this is the right way for the Warriors, Looney, Draymond, and Saric.

This will mess up NBA2K. Grin
If Portland Trail Blazers management cannot really find the right trade from the Miami Heat, they will need the help of another team to make a 3-way team deal or worse 4-way team deal which means shuffling all the players in the league to different teams.
And it looks like DeAndre Ayton is still not safe (after the Mavs and Suns disagreed) when that happens because he may become part of that huge deal as the Trail Blazers are still considering getting him.
