Anyone else want to trade Dwight?

[Fireworld]

I'm open to trading him. It seams like he's always getting the ball stripped, or he gets fouled and bricks two free throws. Unless he gets put backs or easy dunks, I haven't really seen anything impressive from him. It's sooooo annoying seeing him get the ball stripped! Arghhh!

[shep33]

Nope. Unless he blatantly says he won't re-up, then you do something. Until then no. He seems to like LA, he and Kobe are starting to get along, we can give him more money in the biggest market available to him.

So yeah, don't deal him

If this team was a contender, as expected - heck, if this team just had a WINNING RECORD - I would not even consider it. However, this season has been an unmitigated disaster, and the franchise needs to look to the future, beyond Dwight.

It's a precarious situation. They're kind of in a similar situation as they were with Bynum. Committing $100+ million dollars, with a punitive luxury tax, and little or nothing to build around him with might not be the best course of action.

We're spending that money anyways regardless. And outside of Dwight, there aren't really any other viable options.

agreed shep, unless he says he wants out, do not trade him; thats a risk we took trading for him to begin with we all knew it was possible he could leave, but i do see them looking like they are trying to get along more. especially on kobes side, he changed his game is trying to get everyone involved, making plays for everyone, giving up easy fast break points he could score to his teammates, i think theyre starting to like playin together a little bit, keep him please

I have wanted to for quite some time. Just understand it isn't a realistic option.

Not necessarily. Not if what they got in return was mostly draft picks and expiring contracts.

this thread is a fail

Hell no. Just take a look around the NBA and that should answer your question.

I don't get it.

Why trade the best Center in the NBA. Some of u laker fans make me laugh, before this season u were all creaming your pants at the thought of us getting him. He's playing injured and still better than Bynum was last year (who hasnt even played one game this year)

Clearly having the best Center in the league has done a lot of good for us.

Trading Dwight would be a spineless, dumb, and short-sighted panic move.

Do people still use QFT anymore?

Have you seen the spacing of our offense? Getting a better coach or trading Pau will do wonders
