he's not worth the money he is going to get from someone.

He's worth over a hundred million dollars, guaranteed. He's definitely worth the max, if not more.

No he's not. He will never be the guy to lead a team to a title, so imo he's not worth the max.

He's an immature, weak minded loser in the body of a superstar center.

You can't deny his natural ability, no matter what. 18.3/12.9/2.2 plus DPOY talent is worth the max, whether you and I like it or not :-\

someone will give him the max, but he's certainly not worth it. He will not lead a team to a title. If you want to pay the max to a guy who quits on his team, blames others, and makes dumb plays, good for you

Is better to have DH12 or Wilcox+Randolph+White?

that's a useless comparison, you will never get Dwight for Wilcox, Randolph, and White, or for their salaries combined plus draft picks.

I mean..Is better to get DH12 who is gonna play 40 min/game or having Wilcox+Randolph+White who stay all time on the bench and doing noting???

again, that's a useless comparison. Do you expect Dwight to sign for 2 million a year?

You wrong... Did not get my point. Better get 3 junk players or one great and having great roster.

it doesn't work that way, you don't get the point. We can't sign Howard if we cut those three guys. Heck, we still can't sign him if we cut half our team. CBA rules are what they are.

The question should be, would you rather have Rondo, KG, and Pierce, or Dwight Howard and a bunch of scrubs?

He has already lead a weak team to the finals.


He is a max player and I would love to see him on the Celtics.  He is the best big man in the NBA, whether or not you like his personality.

His team got crushed in the finals. He made it to the finals because the rest of the EC was weak (KG was injured). It's not his personality I don't like, it's his work ethic, competitiveness, and basketbal IQ. Those things won't change. There are better big men in the league, and he also hasn't been the same since back surgery.

I guarantee that if we were to sign him, you will regret it after one season.

Yep, spend the farm on him, because he really came through for the lakers this year.

Didn't they say that about Lebron when he first made it to the finals?


No, if a miracle happened and the Celtics got Howard, I would expect Ainge to do what the Lakers failed to do, build a team around Howard's strengths and once again be a contender.

He makes Dan Marino proud.  They may very well change the name of the Ewing Theory to the Dwight Theory, although I'm not sure teams get better without him, but they don't seem to get better with him

TP - why anybody would argue against acquiring Howard [someway, somehow] is beyond me. Every Celtic fan would be jumping for joy if we got a player of his caliber.

Unfortunately, I can't see it happening unless the Lakers are really fond of Jeff Green and are interested in a couple of picks along with filler contracts.

Dwight will be a free agent this summer.  We have no cap space to sign him nor do we have the trade pieces to put together a package to compete with other potential packages should the Lakers even be open to doing a sign and trade.

I don't think there's any reason to think Dwight would want to play here anyway.  He wants the spotlight. I think the only team that has a chance to lure him away from the Lakers is Dallas.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

he is disgruntled in LA and will most likely want a new team.

He was yelling at GM Mitch Kupchak after being ejected.

He was yelling at refs...
