To be fair, Dwights never had a good leader inside the locker room, and maybe Hardens lack of leadership is why Dwight diesnt want to follow his "lead". We all know Kobe can be an awful teammate as well, so maybe it's not all Dwight. I'd entertain the idea of him coming here. I think Lillard would be a great leader for him and I think he'd like Portland.
I'd jump at Dwight Howard for only Henderson, Leonard, and Kaman. But Morey wouldn't. He delayed trading Omer Asik for a year, to get full value. He'd delay on Howard for about 2 years till he got a lot more than those 3 players.
Does Stotts even know how to use a center like Dwight? Does Stotts know how to use Dwight in a way that Dwight would be happy with his role? Maybe it's more fair to ask if Dwight would be happy with his role in Stotts' offense. Because the Blazers sure as shit shouldn't try to change their offense to accommodate him.
Other than that, if you could get Dwight Howard for some of our disposable assets you pretty much have to do it. What have we got to lose?
Theyv been teammates for 3 years and now Howard is unhappy with Harden? I think thats overblown. Unhappy with the way he is used and way the team is playing I can buy but suddenly behind unhappy behind Harden after there being no whisper of this before seems suspect. I also cant believe Moray would trade Howard unless he gets an multiple allstar type player in return unless his knees and back are worse then theyv let on. I can see a scenario where Houston knows his body is worse then most know so they spread a bs story that has nothing to do with how he is playing/holding up to maximize value but thats the only way I see this story being right
