I agree with the poster who said with all the weird moves after the Lebron signing so far, signing Dwight would be the one that would make me vomit a little in my mouth. |
Wait.... You think warriors signed Cousins, for a team to sign Dwight? Lol |

All better than Lopez, the fit is weird and he doesn't spread the floor but would be a nice counter to DC against GSW.
What the he'll swing for the fences, it would only be for one year why not? Next year would be a totally new season anyway. |
Hopefully, this front office has not fooled itself into believing its matching Golden State tick for tack. We are not at the level, yet. Stay the course. Don't make moves behind the preset that we are keeping up with Golden State. That'll be delusional.

It would be staying the course though, only a one year deal |

Lets assume a sane locker room with good team spirit (hire Richard Jefferson as an assistant coach; keep Channing Frye.. fellow Wildcats and buddies of Luke and Lebron).
C - Dwight/McGee/Zubac
F - Lebron/Wagner/Frye
F - Kawhi/Kuzma/Svi
G - KCP/Hart/Stephenson
G - Ball/Rondo
I am just wondering.. not saying I would do the trade for sure but could this team defeat the Warriors if Kawhi is healthy and locker room chemistry is under control? |
I like it.. but if we wait one more season for Kawhi, that lineup looks even better... because you add ingram at the 2 guard and if his shot becomes money like i think it will... YIKES... he will be able to get it off over anyone

One year deal? Fine. One year plus 30 seconds? Hell no.

Like he "guided" the 20 or so guys that went through Cleveland the past two seasons?
James is an amazing talent that has been impressively defying Father Time but the team chemistry on his teams has been progressively declining. He is not guiding his band of mercenary misfits any more then he is mentoring the young guys.
At this point I prefer Lopez getting re-signed or simply going with the three current Cs and hoping for the best. (Side question, what is with all the comments of Kuzma playing C?).
Maybe this team can gel together. Longshot IMO. Too many year to year vets only invested in their next team and mixed messages to the young guys that will stifle any team chemistry.
I am trying to remain positive but some of these signings and the "need" expressed by many to bring in more questionable malcontents is making it tough to remain so. |

I would take him. A potential lineup of say
Rondo
Ingram
Lebron
Kuz
Dwight
Or
Rondo
Ball
Ingram
Lebron
Dwight
Can be a beast defensively with enough scorers. So many options. Mcgee is not a starter in this league unless you plan to tank. At least not on a playoff team. |

Its a 1 year contract..Very expendable... and tradeable!! Why would that not be staying the course??
Plus you save LBJ from having to be the rim protector for this team! I think its a MUST when you think about preserving LEBRON for the 2019 run at the championship! |

I swear if Dwight can just stop with the shenanigans he could be a big time asset. If Lebron can keep him in check and he can buy into rebounding and defending the rim, catching lobs and running the p&r with Lonzo/Rondo/Bron/Lance (don't sleep, he's a fantastic pick and roll ballhandler) he can be pivotal in a deep playoff run, and I mean that. Nothing would rehab his image more than him humbling himself and playing his natural game with success in a redemption run as a Laker, especially if the team coalesces and emerges as a serious threat out here. Him putting up something like 14/12/2-3 blocks, if he's still capable of sustaining that over 70+ games and the postseason, definitely makes him worth whatever money we can throw at him. He'll be flush with cash after the buyout anyhow and after Boogie accepting a low-ball offer I can see him taking the minimum.
2013 me would slap me in the face for saying so, but I'm cool with signing Dwight. |

Is Dwight still demanding to be fed in the post? For every bucket in the post, he had so many other empty post touches where he did nothing of consequence. I might be somewhat open to Dwight if he's willing to be LeBron's Chandler.
I'd rather have Lopez back, if possible.

I really want to mop up OKC in the playoffs in the worst way. Not salty about PG, but I would kinda like to let them have it just to see the look on his face when he realizes he chose the wrong side. |

How many annual roster resets actually work?
How many does James have left in him?
Team chemistry is important. To bad that it is being overlooked. |

Im down with Dwight on a 1 year deal. Him accepting a buy out. Him doing his media tour. Him wanting to win suggests a change in mindset in my opinion.
Guys everyone matures
Dwight gets a bad rap I think because of what he could have been if he didn't make his decision to leave Orlando. I think he has good intentions but sometimes his immaturity gets in the way
The guy played 81 games last year averaged 16, 12 and 1 block. He moved around really well, with improved jump shot
He was let go because of need to clear cap space. He was moved from Atlanta in order to clear cap space as well.
If you have a culture in place with strong personalities I can Dwight can thrive.
If the warriors can get Javale Mcgee to succeed and kick his reputation, I think Lebron, Magic, Rob, Luke can get Dwight to be successful. |

How??
Our young core stayed pretty much intact... We have to add new players!! Plus this a team chemistry BUILDING year.. The year following we go for the CHAMPIONSHIP by adding Kawhi and trying to resign all of these guys on 1year deals.. or add Kawhi and possibly another maxish kinda player... |

| Brolo won’t complain about his role, provides spacing, can make free throws, and is a pretty good defender as well. It’s not even close. |
