I'm curious about how many of you guys watch Dwight Howard play?
I have watched him a ton, every time I see Houston on national TV I always enjoy watching Howard play.
He may not be the same Dwight Howard we all saw a few years back, but the guy is a force still, and easily a top 3 center in the game today.
I think it's silly people are so quick to toss the idea out the window just because Howard can't space the floor, and speculation regarding his attitude.
I'm not too concerned about spacing, it's overrated on this board big time. While it's great to have, you still have Irving, Smith, Shump, Delly, etc to help space the floor when LeBron has the ball, or vice verse with Kyrie.
Howard would add an instant force inside. While Love is good in the post, and can definitely hold his own inside, Howard is much stronger and can insert his dominance unlike Love.
Not only that, but his ability to rebound and go back up with it is huge.
His defense is night and day better than Love's will ever be, and that's something this team need inside and down low, especially with Mozzy taking a huge dip in production this season.
To me it's a deal I just do based on Howard's defense and ability to help this team on both ends overall better than Love.
It's also clear we do not have the same Love the T-Wolves had in years past. Misusing him of course played a factor, but he also dropped the pounds and just plays totally different than before.
You definitely expect him to change his game, but not this much.
