Oops, something is interesting that has been reported just now. Dwight is in the meeting with the Golden State Warriors. Maybe he's been heard and this is it for his comeback to the NBA. This wall that has been tweeting funnily from Taiwan seems to be serious now about being acquired by the Dub nation.

Just in case this really happens hopefully they will win the championship to help Chris Paul get one. However I'm not sure if Dwight Howard would really contribute to him or the whole organization because let's be honest at this time Howard is far different from his era. Dwight Howard has had two finals appearances and one of them resulted in a championship. He went from losing to the Lakers to winning a championship when he joined the Lakers like Kevin Durant does when losing to Warriors.

Going to be a really old team. I haven't followed Dwight since he left but can't have to much more in the tank. I don't think golden state going old is the answer here. Tends to never really work out but I guess we'll see. Don't hate the guy so I hope he gets another shot. When do they announce carmelo to the warriors?

Let's not assume yet.
The reports say that Dwight Howard will work out with the Warriors. If I read that kind of thing it doesn't actually end up good or we could say its 50-50 chance that he will get a contract with a team.
I love Dwight, I really want to see him on the NBA floor one more time and prove to the world that everything that is being thought of him is not true. He is a champion-caliber but so much gossip circled around him and I think it's the media that broke his NBA career.

What he did against Jokic in the bubble is still fresh in my mind. He bullied him beneath the rim and I won't forget that for the rest of my life.
For me, Dwight will be a good addition for the Warriors to back up Looney and I wish they will sign him.

Yes, still fresh in my memory on how he manhandled Jokic in the bubble when they match up in the playoffs. And it really shows the experience of Howard, trash talking and taunting Jokic causing them to lose that playoff series with the Lakers and then the Lakers going on to win the NBA in the bubble, so that is experienced for you.

So let's see how it goes for Dwight, if everything pans out then we will see him in the NBA jersey again and for sure his fans are going to be happy. If not, then I doubt that he will hang his jersey, maybe he can go back to Taiwan again and play.

It would be interesting to see Dwight Howard back in the NBA, perhaps on a different team. If he were to join the Warriors, I think it could greatly benefit them, especially in the paint. I understand that Howard is no longer in his prime, but his experience and attitude as a player could bring a high level of energy to the team. He wouldn't necessarily need to play heavy minutes, as they already have Looney who can consistently do the job. Howard could serve as a valuable backup.

Dwight Howard has had two finals appearances and one of them resulted in a championship. He went from losing to the Lakers to winning a championship when he joined the Lakers like Kevin Durant does when losing to Warriors.

He will be used as a back up center, It will still be Looney as their main man for that position. What Dwight Howard can offer as this point in his career, is like 10-15 minutes of play every night, as a second or even third option when Looney is resting.

And I guess he already accepted his role because he knows that he is no longer in his prime, but he can still play. That's why he wanted to go back to the NBA or at least continue with his NBA career when he accepted a job in Taiwan. And now that the NBA is opening again, Dwight is knocking and hopefully be given another chance to play. And if this is news is true then good for him.

With the way Dwight plays the game, I'm not sure if he can add something in case GSW will sign him. Don't get me wrong, but
the system that GSW use is offense is the main defense more on offensive side.

Though we never know, as Dwight still can penetrate and dunk the ball and is still a good ring protector and both offensive and defensive rebounder.

If this negotiation fulfil, it might be a good comeback for him, might be possible for another chase for the additional ring.

And I think the experienced too, and so he might be a good addition to the Warriors as they needed a good big man. Yes, the league has been playing small, but I still do believed that a legitimate Center might be a good addition for the Warriors which they have during their championship run.

Yeah, they don't really have that much big man but Dray is playing on that part with his addition, having these two inside is going to be a strong defense for sure. While outside the paint, there goes their shooters that will just have to do their job.

Quote from: cryptomaniac_xxx on September 15, 2023, 04:09:30 PM

Dwight being active in Taiwan might be a good deal for him, as he keep his body and mind very active during his stint in their league. So let's see if this will materialized and see Dwight in the Warriors uniform.

I think it was a real fun experience for him being there and the league there just invests a lot of him to make their league some noise and it was a success. But Dwight just wanna feel the intense of being back the NBA so this is another deal of his lifetime.

That's what Dray said that he's there to help CP to get his first championship and that's a good achievement before he even retires. As we all know that there have been great players but never got a ring so these are like the fewer seasons or we don't know if last for him before he gets to retire. Dwight still has that experience and can still play, he's not that old as he's 37 so I think that despite he is past his prime but not that old as a contributor.

I just saw Shams reporting this as well. I don’t know exactly why Dwight got blackballed from the NBA, but I do have some clues… Anyway, I think he’s still an above average NBA center and I think he would be great on the Warriors. He is what they’re missing. He might serve as a good placeholder while they start getting their offense tuned for Giannis.

Yeah, Dwight still has some prowess and he can stop the other big guy that GSW might face. I'm just happy to see that this could be the entry for his return to the NBA. He's not that bad at all and for sure that he's not going to let this slip and will show what he's got and still can play inside the paint. And this meeting is also a good answer for what's happening with his contract in Taiwan as it was reported that he'll get a pay cut there, so this is just really good and in time.

Another possibility is if Giannis is willing to adjust with his salary for the sake of another title, which may be far from reality, it's more on
the money side and no longer on any pride or any title in my opinion.

But we never know if he can adjust or if Warriors are also interested in him. Maybe they will adjust or maybe they will be willing to pay
for it and also with the luxury tax obligation.

It will be tough, but we never know how or if it's possible if both camps will agree on something.

That would be a stupid move by Giannis. He is already an MVP and FMVP at the current moment, he is already one of the best, and he already won a title as well. His place at Hall of Fame is already guaranteed, how many title winning MVP's and FMVP's ended up not getting into Hall of Fame before? I am sure none of them ever did.

I think it is quite important to realize that we are going to end up with something that would be a difficult thing in the end. I think the best thing to do would be allowing a situation that would be great to handle on the long term. I hope that it gets to a point where it would have to be something that would be tougher on the money side, he should accept as much money as possible for now.

There is no scenario where they keep all their good players and still get Giannis. Mathematically, their contracts wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. Warriors have 209 million dollars salary per year, that is by far first in the league, even with Celtics paying Jaylen Brown insane supermax, its still Warriors ball to conquer. The salary cap is at around 123 million, or so it was last year and I do not know how much it went up this year. It is still easy to say that they are way above that line, and paying a HUGE luxury tax as well. They do have Chris Paul now, no how they managed to make that happen, but it looks like they are paying a ton of money to him, and Wiggins as well. If they somehow trade those two, then maybe? They need to find space, and when you are over 80 millions above the salary cap, that's not easy.

Getting rid of Jordan Poole was a pretty big salary dump. Chris Paul also won’t be around too much longer and could probably be bought out for cheap if it was necessary anyway. I think they would be wise to get rid of Draymond and keep Wiggins, which might be possible since Draymond obviously wants to play with LeBron. Bottom line is that the Warriors would do whatever it takes to get Giannis if the opportunity presents itself.

That might do, overall, the Warriors is still on the pace where they will make an experimentation and if things won't work their way, I won't be surprised if they set free Draymond and Chris Paul to free up some space because either way, it's not giving the team the benefit they wanted. And more obviously, they might want to free some space so that they can have a spot for Giannis, you know, just in case the star will ask for a way out from the Bucks.

That might be good for Warriors if they can eliminate them just to get Giannis into their roster but I doubt that Bucks would like that offer so provably they would ask more fair deal so that their team will not end up sorry since they lost their start for this situation. But I doubt Bucks would let Giannis go easily and they do what he request since their star have big market to their team. But we might see some developments regarding in this situation once season open and how bucks perform if they can't still compete with championship maybe all speculation would provably came true.

They really don't have that kind of power to stop a player from requesting a trade, that is their right but just like their right, the franchise also have a right to ask for a fair trade for their star player. But that is just an option if ever Giannis will ask for a trade as I'm seeing another option that Giannis might wait until his contract will expire and then the Warriors can get him without freeing any star players as Giannis wanted a team that can help deliver him another championship, and so if he will be traded before the expiration, that means that the Warriors cannot afford whatever the Bucks will say as they surely won't free Giannis without any decent exchange.

I think they would be wise to get rid of Draymond and keep Wiggins, which might be possible since Draymond obviously wants to play with LeBron. Bottom line is that the Warriors would do whatever it takes to get Giannis if the opportunity presents itself.

That might do, overall, the Warriors is still on the pace where they will make an experimentation and if things won't work their way, I won't be surprised if they set free Draymond and Chris Paul to free up some space because either way, it's not giving the team the benefit they wanted. And more obviously, they might want to free some space so that they can have a spot for Giannis, you know, just in case the star will ask for a way out from the Bucks.

And there were also some speculations that Juan Toscano Anderson is back with the Warriors though. I just read it somewhere in Yahoo sports but they say when they interview Moody, they somewhat see the jersey of JTA hanging in the Warriors dug out.

If we can remember, he had a good year with the Warriors back then, him and Jordan Poole was really strong during that year. Unfortunately, he was let go of the Warriors and went to the Warriors. But if the news is true then it's a total flip as JTA is back with the team and Poole out apparently.

Meanwhile the Miami Heat and Nuggets were the strongest qualifying for the final to win the title and the Nuggets won and took home the NBA trophy.

The Miami Heat didn't start that strong and somehow, we didn't even expect them to reach that far because of how they started the season poorly. But they managed to turn the tides in their favor and had a good run in the post season until they faced the Nuggets in the Finals while upsetting the heavy favorites along the way, namely Bucks and Celtics.

For this season it seems like the Suns will still have difficulty getting to the top with the players they have even though there are Kevin Durant, Deandre Ayton, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal who always make big contributions in every Suns game.

Maybe yes or maybe no, either way, I think they can somehow make it work but it will be a challenge since they have a history of choking when it comes to a series game.

There is no scenario where they keep all their good players and still get Giannis. Mathematically, their contracts wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. Warriors have 209 million dollars salary per year, that is by far first in the league, even with Celtics paying Jaylen Brown insane supermax, its still Warriors ball to conquer. The salary cap is at around 123 million, or so it was last year and I do not know how much it went up this year. It is still easy to say that they are way above that line, and paying a HUGE luxury tax as well. They do have Chris Paul now, no how they managed to make that happen, but it looks like they are paying a ton of money to him, and Wiggins as well. If they somehow trade those two, then maybe? They need to find space, and when you are over 80 millions above the salary cap, that's not easy.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the stars that Milwaukee has and is it true that Giannis will really leave Milwaukee to look for opportunities with another team that could potentially take him to the top and win the NBA?
If this is true perhaps Milwaukee will have a very difficult time finding a replacement player like Giannis.

Giannis' desire to leave will likely depend on whether the Bucks can have any success in the next couple of seasons or not. It's worth noting that Giannis has a guaranteed contract through the end of the 24/25th season, and the 25/26th season will be a player option. With that in mind, I think Giannis will stay with the Bucks for at least two more seasons, and if they can't win another title during that time, he will likely leave the Bucks.

The desire to leave was already there. He might finish the upcoming season, but since the succeeding season will be a player option, he could use that to sign with another team and leave the Bucks. Although we can consider the outcome of the upcoming season, let's say they will win a championship, that could change his mind. But let's be realistic, can the current Bucks roster still be capable of winning a championship? I believe most of us would say no, and even bookies have rated them that way, as they aren't included in the top 3 teams that are favorites to win a championship.
