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.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.
