He doesn't care where he has to go he wants a championship and he wants it now! Is this what the NBA has become? Superstars jumping team to team trying to team up with the best of the best players instead of trying to beat them? Pathetic.

Makes me happy.
Please leave.
Want to play with Rondo.
Force the Lakers take Green, Melo and Collins.
-
What an ass , how bout you start dominating and stop complaining. That Lakers team should be at least in the conference finals with the talent they have in the starting lineup.
-
Honestly, if you can't win a championship in LA with that team then you don't deserve to win a championship. Seeing guys like pierce and dirk when their first championships after being with their teams all of their careers.
All the bad years, all of the heartbreaks. Then they finally got that championship. To me that's special. Leaving your team as a superstar in your prime and going to join another superstar *Cough lebron* to get it done is far from special. Yeah you won but really you had no business losing.
-
Want to play with Rondo.
Are there still fans that would take this loser?
What makes any fan think he would go to their team and become a different person. He's proven the kind of man he is. He's a loser and a horrible teammate.
I'm always baffled by fans thinking malcontents will change their personality with a change of scenery. Let's bring Nate, Sheed, and Starbury back too.
-
That guy is such a headcase. I don't care how dominant he can be I don't want him anywhere near the Celtics roster (and I'm certain for many reasons there's no chance he will be). After that fiasco in Orlando there was a part of me that was relieved he went to the lakers so I wouldn't have to root for him a few times a year.

No thanks Commish. I wouldn't want a guy who doesnt have a heart and would rather leave to get the easy way out than work harder to get to the top.
I don't care how dominant he is, his lack of heart can be contagious.

This would make me so happy!

This would make me so happy!
Unless he leaves for the Heat.

don't think for a second he would waste his time looking at the C's lol!!! we are barley contenders right now.

I fully expect any team headlined by Rondo and Howard to be an abject failure.
-
How funny would it be if he took a major pay cut to play in miami with lebron wade and bosh. How big of a joke would that be.
-
He's the only guy in the league that can make me like Kobe in comparison to him. He has no clue how self centered he is.

Two points (I suspect others will agree with):
1) I think Howard is an embarrassment to professional athletes everywhere, and himself. I've enjoyed laughing at his childishness and dim point of view from afar for the last 18 months, but at this point he's tarnishing the sport. Good grief;
2) I'd of course still take him in a heartbeat, though I doubt we could get him. If he does decide to leave, and ANYONE around him personally has a brain in their head, he should find a way to one of only two places -- San Antonio or Boston. Both have great championship tradition, consistently competitive rosters, and both have coaches who can help him grow as a player and a person. Chicago would be a runner-up to me. OKC also makes some sense, but I have my doubts about whether Presti would even want him at this point for what he'd have to give up.
If things continue to get ugly in LA, and he's to be taken at his word, I'd suspect Boston would be on his short list of desired destinations.

The quote wasn't about leaving the Lakers but was about leaving Orlando. If I am remembering the rest of his quotes yesterday proplery.

Well, if what he's saying is true who else could he be talking about? There's a short list of teams more suited to win the title than LA.
That being said, I don't believe that. He'll sign with the shiniest team that offers him the most candy

But again, and I'm admittedly playing devil's advocate cuz I don't believe him, but if he were to pick a team for fit and ability to win a championship immediately - is there a much better fit than Boston?

lol...Wait until los Nash gets back and Howard is defending both his guy and los Nash's.....
Think he wants to get out now? lol

Yes, we aren't looking much better than LA right now and honestly LA should be a better team than BOSTON if they get their act together. Howard would choose the knicks nets thunder heat and probably other teams before coming here.

And catching Nash's oops, and watching Nash's shots go in.

Well first, it would be a team that could pay him. The Cs can't. And I'd say there aren't many that: 1) he could sign with as a FA for real money, and 2) would have enough talent to be an immediate contender.
So it therefore depends on a large number of variables, namely what the team would have to give up to get him, considering he'd have to pursue a trade either this season or in the summer. Potential teams that would pursue him as such: Miami, NYK, BN, OKC, BOS, CHI, LAC, SAS, Rockets, GSW, etc etc etc...

I'd want to leave if I had to play with a ballhog that acts like he's the best player on the team and a 7 foot llama that won't sit back and let him chase every rebound to make his numbers look good.

Yes, I would want Dwight.
It is the double stick to the Lakers.
1) They lose the guy they plan on building around.
2) He leaves them for Boston.

vucevic's #'s were right there w DH last night as orlando won - vucevic 17 and 12 DH 21 and 15
vucevic seems pretty good, hurt us last year w philly. not sure why people don't take more notice of him.
after these new DH comments then him missing all his FT's and vucevic's #'s I'm thinking orlando will be better off without him
-
he wouldnt make us any better
dont want him here

This would make me so happy!

I'd rather the Heat than Lakers.

Yes, it would be painful watching all those alley-oops.
No, it would be painful to watch how your franchise players can't get you a bucket or a free throw when you need one in the worst way.
-

I'd rather the Heat win a title before the Lakers.
But I don't want to see the Heat get another top 10 NBA player. More bandwagoners, less competition around the league, etc. All around just bad.
-
Howard is such a little (fill in the explecitive here). I mean come on, all you did last year was whine to get your way, you get your way, and then you whine some more?
The reason you play basketball is to win a championship Dwight, and youre supposed to be a top ten player in this league. You work hard to get a ring. To me, this is basically like Dwight saying, heck Ill go to a team with players that play better and harder than me just so I can wear that ring.
Stop trying to take the easy way out Dwight. If you really wanted a ring. You would play your heart and soul out for whatever team youre on to get one. Not demand trades to be put in an easier situation for you. This guy really ticks me off and he has become my second (or third) most hated player in the league behind James and Wade.

Eh. He doesn't get out of the 2nd round that year if kg stays healthy...barely did anyway..he has hedo to thank for that. He went on to play really well against the cavs that's about it
Ironically he was dominated by pau gasol in the finala

If you watched those finals...he got punked....what do his numbers mean? As I said he was dominated by gasol who played more minutes on Dwight with the odom lineup.
Dwight Howard is the most immature knucklehead Stat padder in the Nba....move on from the one time the magic flukeishly made the finals only to get embarrassed

If you're trying to convince me that "getting alley-oops" is some form of legitimate NBA go-to offence, you're wasting your time.

Rondo's more comfortable shooting late in games than he used to be, we're scoring well late in games when he plays and he gets tons of assists late in games. If you want some convincing, show why the Celts would be suddenly unable to score with Howard on the team first.

I started a thread about this a while ago asking what the chances were that both Dwight and CP3 would leave LA for Dallas: http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?topic=60442.msg1329581#msg1329581
It's far-fetched, but seems slightly possible.

I could still see this applying if Nash or anyone else can't come in and save the day. It's all on Nash. He is the guy Mike D'Antoni's system will be built around.
They fired Brown because his system didn't fit the players. As of now the current system doesn't fit the players either.

I'm sure he's getting a ton of assists. Given that he's the only guy who handles the ball when he's on the court these days, he either will get an assist, or he won't.
But knee-jerk reaction aside, he remains somewhat of a one-trick pony offensively: he's not going to beat you with his ranged game, much like Howard is not going to beat you with his post game. Add this to the fact that you can put both of them on the line at will, and you've got a pretty bad offensive package already.

I'd agree with that, but that problem could be fixed pretty easily with a sign-and-trade acquisition of Chris Paul (for Rajon Rondo) in the offseason. :)

I do not want that championship-Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. in our locker-room or anywhere near our team.
Paul Pierce should be an example to all Lebrons, CP3s and other guys who want championships. He has been here during tough times and has endured losses, humiliation and similiar stuff. Did he ever whine or demand a trade? No! He stuck it up and stayed loyal to his team and a as result of the hard work he earned himself a ring. This is what sportsmanship is all about, not whining or demanding trades just to win titles.

What makes any fan think he would go to their team and become a different person. He's proven the kind of man he is. He's a loser and a horrible teammate.
I'm always baffled by fans thinking malcontents will change their personality with a change of scenery. Let's bring Nate, Sheed, and Starbury back too.
I would gladly take this loser lol
Can you imagine Dwight and KG in the back court on defense?
Or Rondo lobbing him over and over and over and over and over. It would be like Chris Wilcox alley oops on steroids. Our defense and rebounding against the Heat and Bulls would be just nasty. KG would sort his attitude out too.

Or Rondo lobbing him over and over and over and over and over. It would be like Chris Wilcox alley oops on steroids. Our defense and rebounding against the Heat and Bulls would be just nasty. KG would sort his attitude out too.
^exactly, I would also gladly take this loser. Don't like him, but if that is going to help us, then why not?

If Rondo can get alley-oops with KG or Wilcox late in close games he'll manage with Dwight.
If you're trying to convince me that "getting alley-oops" is some form of legitimate NBA go-to offence, you're wasting your time.
Rondo's more comfortable shooting late in games than he used to be, we're scoring well late in games when he plays and he gets tons of assists late in games. If you want some convincing, show why the Celts would be suddenly unable to score with Howard on the team first.
I'm sure he's getting a ton of assists. Given that he's the only guy who handles the ball when he's on the court these days, he either will get an assist, or he won't.
But knee-jerk reaction aside, he remains somewhat of a one-trick pony offensively: he's not going to beat you with his ranged game, much like Howard is not going to beat you with his post game. Add this to the fact that you can put both of them on the line at will, and you've got a pretty bad offensive package already.
First of all Rondo's been beating people with jumpers all year. And those tons of assists Rondo's getting in crunch time obviously lead to many points, which is what we want to see. You might not think that Rondo or Howard are going to start scoring like LeBron in crunch time, but they'll both score some and they aren't the only players on the court. Our scoring in crunch time is up quite a bit this year, and it's not because we have a franchise player scoring all the points.

I do not want that championship-**** in our locker-room or anywhere near our team.
Paul Pierce should be an example to all Lebrons, CP3s and other guys who want championships. He has been here during tough times and has endured losses, humiliation and similiar stuff. Did he ever whine or demand a trade? No! He stuck it up and stayed loyal to his team and a as result of the hard work he earned himself a ring. This is what sportsmanship is all about, not whining or demanding trades just to win titles.
And was ready to ask to be traded before the trades that brought KG and Ray Allen to Boston.
KG went to a 2nd team to win a title.
Ray Allen was on his 3rd team.
Teams that get to keep star and win titles are the team that find ways to bring in other real stars.
Minnesota didn't.
Orlando didn't.
Cleveland didn't
Toronto didn't.
Boston did
LA did
Miami did
SA did.
One way or another, they found a way to bring in other stars.

Erm isn't this from when he was playing in Orlando? Totally taken out of context lol.
What a scumbag journalist.

Hey I'd take him if he forces a trade to Boston. Let's be honest, most of us will be laughing at the Lakers if it happens.
