2012/2013 NBA season thread

Just leave Dwight leave.

[PeteLFan]

@janiscarr: Dwight has made his decision. Said he will announce his destination via Twitter possibly this weekend

Gets worse by the minute.

[Senator Clay Davis]

The Decision Part Two: Twitter Version.

[octothorp]

Heh, you just know he's loving being the center of the NBA universe right now, anything he can do to draw it out another day or two, he'll do. Wouldn't shock me if he didn't announce it until Monday or Tuesday.

[drywall_taper]

The decision was just classic. People will remember that years to come but this people will forget soon

[drywall_taper]

If he is after getting attention/spot light, i don't see him going anywhere.

[darklord700]

Oh the suspense is killing me. At least Dwight's decided on using Twitter (instead of facebook, google + or instagram). That's a big step forward in terms of decision making for him.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Golden State signs Andre Igoudala to a 4 year $48 million deal, which I would imagine takes them out of the running for Dwight...unless they plan on either using him in a sign and trade or if they're thinking of using him as a replacement should they trade Barnes or Thompson.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Nevermind, Golden State is going loco. They traded Andres Bierdens, Richard Jefferson, a 2014 first round pick and 2017 first round pick, and two future second round picks to Utah for....Kevin Murphy? Sounds like a complicated salary dump, but the Warriors could have a starting 5 of Curry, Thompson, Igoudala, Lee and Howard if this is to clear the space to sign Diwght. Damn thats frightening.

Edit: Also Denver offered 4 years and $52 million to Igoudala. Does he know they're getting Dwight perhaps?

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 50s
USA Today's @sam_amick reports that Dwight has officially chosen Houston in free agency

Good luck with him Houston.

Howard and Harden. Houston will make the playoffs but OKC is better with Durant and Westbrook. I don't see Howard winning a championship the next little while.

[PeteLFan]

He will never win unless he's carried by someone. Harden isn't carrying anyone.

I would still put a healthy SA, OKC, Clippers, Memphis and maybe even the Warriors ahead of them.

They will be like the 2009 Magic IMO and but a lot of teams still have more talent.

[Hockey_Ninja]

The Lakers should do whatever it takes to get Wiggins now. Kobe aint getting younger.

[PeteLFan]

@ramonashelburne: Lakers source in the meeting with Howard said he seemed to have made up his mind then. Was "emotionless" and wouldnt look them in eye

Umm if you didn't want to play for them WHY WASTE TIME.

This clown is a piece of garbage. Enjoy having 5 more kids with 5 women loser.

Lol you are so over the top. If he hadn't met with the Lakers, you would have bashed him for not at least meeting with them.

[Drake]

Howard is a gutless and heartless puke who will never win an NBA title. Who's going to be the scapegoat when these POS gets Kevin McHale fired or destroys the locker room chemistry?

Not saying Harden will carry, but he is a pretty damn good player with balls. I do agree DH doesn't have what it takes to carry a team

[Senator Clay Davis]

Asik could be dealt for Josh Smith in a sign and trade. As to the Lakers now is the time to amnesty Kobe and go all in for a top 5 picks. Doesn't need to be Wiggins but next year is their only first rounder until 2016 so they need to get a great player.

[PeteLFan]

If this was a year ago I would be upset because I only knew the clown from outside. Happy he's gone.
