Howard is washed up?

Howard is a good but not a great player at this point in his career. If he is fine with being a 16/13/3 guy who is the third or so option on offense while rebounding like a madman and blocking shots left and right the move should work out great. If he expects to be top dog who doesn't have to "work" and still get tons of touches this likely won't end well.

Howard has consistently been a franchise killer. He is cancerous and you need really just look at his career stops to see that. However, his playing ability on the court has been good to spectacular. Personally, I don't want to see his cancer on the Hornets but we literally gave up nothing to get him, so it is hard to see how we don't come out well.

Your last sentence is his problem. He still thinks he's the man.

Howard's problem has never been talent. It's his attitude. Biggest thing that concerns me by far about him. 

If that's the case let's all pray a contender comes calling thinking Dwight is the missing piece.

He has a great respect for Cliff and Jordan. He's only 3years older than Cam and like Cam he's big boned and not injury prone. Great physical conditioning and awareness. He has got a lot left (still relatively young) and talked of retiring with the Hornets(5-6yrs). In today's NBA I'll take that. That says a lot about what will come later if he balls out. Charlotte is down the road from his beloved (ugh...pteew)ATL who kicked him to the curb.

This the perfect situation for Howard. For Charlotte it's kind of like getting that #1 pick that we've always never got from the NBA "lottery". Say what you want but you're getting an AllStar and future NBA HOF'er.

IF he and Cliff can put it all together, yes he should be a focal point. He is better than Big Al. This is the best center this town has had since Zo.

He will revive his career HERE like others have. The Hornets may have one of its best squads ever, on paper that is. Monk, Bacon on top of that! Frank improving. I can't wait! Pumped! The potential is there for greatness.

      I just wish the man would file his paperwork for retirement so he could get the accolades he so richly deserves form the Panthers and the NFL   He is being a damned knucklehead

      you can't turn Teddy Bridgwater into a gunslinger just because that's what you want.   It's DNA and tools.  It's pretty simple.   You can try to make the best of what you have though.  Trying to make it work, doesn't change what Teddy naturally is.  Remember, folks argued that silly one too.  But it's the same logic here.  It's like saying, you know what Jake.....let's no longer gamble.  That's over.  We are just taking the safe checkdown.  Get it out nice and quick.  Sure, it might work here or there. But eventually he gonna see 89 in triple coverage downfield and say fug it.    round pegs are round pegs.  round holes are round holes.  we have seen people trying to force them forever......but the saying exist for a reason.  They generally are what they are.   the Luke comment was just a fun nod and trying to wrap this up friendly, I was trying to largely let you off the hook on all of your very stern lectures of the Tepper era we are in.....and how horribly wrong you have been there about what was coming.  Guess you got the goldfish thing going on with all those.  I would too.
