    All this weekend the rumor was that Howard was going to be bought out and the Warriors we're going to grab him.

    Should we do that?

    It would probably be cheaper to get a cassette player and a a cassette of Carrot Top playing fart jokes.

    We already had a huge dick on the team when we had Oden.

    Why?

    One year rentals are for contenders that need a band-aid on a temporary problem.

    And yes, that is also why I question the Curry signing.

    Howard might be a dick but he's a Hall of Fame player.

    Nothing he's done in the past five years would get him even consideration for HoF status.

    “Dwight Howard a essayé d'avoir des relations sexuelles avec une prostituée midget nommée Chloé! Il m'a alors reproché l'effort, Nicolas Batum! Inutile de dire que mon ex-femme était très folle! Alors je me suis confié à mon bon ami La panique causant l'hispanique.”

    That would totally fuck team chemistry.

    Nurk in particular would not take that well. Among other reasons, because this is his "contract year".

    Just no.

    3x DPOY, top 20 all time in rebound and by the time he retires he most likely be top 20 in points. He'll make the Hall.

    Lillard is the team chemistry.

    I didn’t say he wouldn’t, just that he’s not that player anymore. IMO, he got by on his pure raw talent and never did much to add to his game. Once the back problems flared up and his physical prowess slipped, he’s decidedly meh and not worth the headaches that he causes.

    And he put up better numbers than Nurk did last season.

    And in a few years, they may even let him in the room. :drumroll:

    I would love for him to give the Lakers another try, now that they passed on Cousins.
