I keep hearing this but I don't know where it is coming from or if it has any validity?
Anyway, I only take Dwight if certain criteria are met. First, we keep Kevin Love. Second, we get a guarantee he will sign beyond the offseason at a discount. If he wants to compete for championships, he is going to have to sacrifice money, I would say like 15 mil a year tops. I think that is his fair value at this stage anyway. If he can't accept that, no deal.
If we traded TT and Moz and perhaps took a bad contract with our TPE, I think that could be a home run, especially if Dwight takes the discount. Otherwise, I'm not too thrilled about paying the max to another injury prone player who can't make free throws and is out of their prime. But pure talent wise, I think he would be a near perfect fit along side Love because of his defensive presence and rebounding. He even hits the offensive glass pretty well which makes up for losing TT.
But with all the risk involved and the chance of him taking a discount from what we know, it seems like an unlikely scenario. It wouldn't be too big of a risk just losing Moz and TT and maybe a pick, but one would think the Rockets could get a better deal. I just don't know if too many teams are lining up for Dwight wanting to use precious assets on someone who you can't build around anymore. It's different for a championship contender where he becomes the 3rd or 4th option, it might make more sense.
