i dunno about you- but i would much rather pay dwight howard 23 million a year for 3 years than mozgov 16 million a year for 4 years.

Sure, from a talent perspective.

It's the other shit HowArd brings to the table that makes him not worth it.

But, maybe he can finally be that number one option that he always felt he was entitled to be.

Milsap is the best player on that Team.

But, the Hawks need HowArd to score big if they are gonna be successful.

I heart Zach Lavine.

Id rather have Whiteside.

For the Warriors, I would much rather have Dwight. But for nearly all other teams I would agree.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Congrats to @Demonjoe93 .
Hawks finally have Cavs number.

Awwwww, yeahhhhhh.

The Tripoli Palm trees and the Lebanon Lizards agree.

 

[Black Adam]

The Tripoli Palm trees and the Lebanon Lizards agree.

so do the Miami Heat and the other 6 teams that wanted give him a max...

Your boy Mark Cuban was quick to offer him the max in the quickness. You know, the same owner's balls you were practically slobbing over two weeks ago. That guy. Offered Whiteside a max.

notice he HAD to drag the Lakers into this, though...

i was jut bringing in the worst deal for a center i saw this offseason- it just happens to the lakers..let me know if you know of a worse one!

in my opinion 4 years 65 million for mozgov is gaawd awful- for a guy who is injury prone, over 30, and could not even get off the bench in the playoffs and has like 1 and a half seasons of over replacement level play.

I mean- id rather of had the scrub the Cavs beat hte crap out of on the Warriors to be honest- he was a lot cheaper and is better---- or even Jarded Sullinger who was REALLY cheap.

i like cuban but he is far from immune from mistakes- i mean he did trade crowder and a first for rondo.

Whiteside is gonna implode once the losses start piling up. Think about it- that is the guy who has the key's to the car for the Heat franchise. I would completely and utterly terrified. In what world is it a good idea for Dragic and Whiteside to be making a combined 40 million dollars and leading your team?

time will tell---- and I CANT WAIT.

any excuse will do...

funny how you never mentioned a peep about him when he wore YOUR colors...

i mean- do you think the mozgov deal was anything but a huge freaking disaster?

again, we were talking about Dwight Howard...

DO keep trolling/trying, though...

yah he made 5.5 million on the Cavs and was a steady role player. Ill take Mozgov on a 2 year 11 million dollar deal ANYDAY like what he had when the Cavs traded for him.

Even if the Lakers just gave the guy 2 years 30 million- i mean- i still cant believe giving him 15M a year- but 2 years at least only takes him to 32 years old and mitigates your risk.

paying Mozgov over 16 million in his age 34 season? why not just poor gasoline all over the cash and torch it?

The Wiz way overpaid for Mahinmi, so i'll refrain from talking shit.

what was his deal?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Cavs and Hawks Introduced Together, Link Arms In Show of Unity

what was his deal?

4/64. He's 29 though, but also a backup.

yah that is pretty wretched as well....at least he is usually relatively healthy.

the STEAL the Cavs got on the Tristan Thompson contract just looks soooo much better now- just as i said it would.
