If Cs signs D.Howard, are the candidate nr1 for the NBA title? Vote...
The thing I'm wondering is if we will have the cap space after signing Chris Paul, LeBron James, and Dirk Nowitzki.
Nobody is asking to Chris Paul, LeBron James, and Dirk Nowitzki. I am talking about DH12.
p.s. How come that Nets, Rockets or LAL are having a cap space, and Cs not?!
I was making a joke about how impossible it would be to sign Dwight Howard right now. Aside from being under contract for the next season, he's said Boston isn't even on his list (and it sounds like his list is composed of entirely Brooklyn).
That said, the reason why the C's don't have cap space is because they resigned Kevin Garnett. After that, it was a obvious choice to try to extend the window for a year, maybe 2.
I'm guessing this is completely hypothetical scenario right? Like we're pretending the C's have cap space for a max deal, Dwight wanted to sign here, and we maintain the current C's roster?
Either way I voted 'no,' they wouldn't be clear favorites. The Celtics would be an absolute force but there are a few powerhouses on top of the league right now that will all be vying pretty equally for a Championship.
If cap space was something only people with large foreheads had to worry about, and magically Dwight ended up here, I think that yes, with this roster, the Celtics would be among the top 3 teams in the NBA.
