I think if you're making an argument that he doesn't want shots, you should expound
Amazing turn for this thread, but count me in if there was a way to turn the TPE, Tristan, AV, and Shump into Dwight Howard.
Sadly, I doubt that is the case.
I think you're kidding, but, there is no way LeBron would want to play with Dwight Howard. If Howard doesn't like playing with Harden, he certainly won't like playing with LeBron, Irving and Love.

I just find it funny how people think that Dwight Howard is going to come here an not fall in line. All these guys know what time it is. Kyrie, Love and Dwight do not have titles. Dwight Howard is 30. He doesn't have time for 1st and 2nd round playoff exits anymore. These guys know it's time to put it together now and win.
Dude Dwight Howard when he was healthy in Orlando led them to the finals. He was the best defensive player in the league for a stretch of 5 years. I think people dislike him because he's not what they want him to be. He's not Shaq, Tim Duncan, or KG. He's Dwight Howard. He's been one of the best players since he came in the league. But since he's not a dominant low post scorer with an arsenal of moves somehow he's not a good enough player.
All his career people have been trying to make him and Alpha dog. Dwight is best suited as a Scottie Pippen not a Michael Jordan. The fact that he's a more of a Pippen than a Jordan irks people but so what. Every team doesn't need a Jordan, Kobe, or Lebron to win a title. You could win a title with Dwight Howard with the right players around him. Lebron, Love, Kyrie, Delly...
I don't think it's the fact he's not getting shots. It more so because of why he isn't getting shots. They don't give him the ball when he's in good position. I'm talking about he's got his man pinned damn near out of bounds under the rim and they're just swinging the rock around the 3 point line. It has more to do with them having no offense at all and James Harden doing his thing.
He has a bigger problem with how he is getting his shots.
I don't think you have to explain this to 30yo Dwight. At this point he's a HOF in my opinion.
But he needs to win rings to at least be considered one of the greatest. You really don't think he would be all in with this roster and Lebron?
Why?
Honestly man, I don't think he'd buy in. He'd shirk his responsibilities and complain. That'd be my guess. He wouldn't be keen on us ever playing small ball with Kevin or James at the 5, and beyond that I don't know if he'd really be happy with our offense running through 2 ball-dominant players and then Kevin Love, before it ever found it's way to him.
'small ball' is commonly mistaken for having short players.What do you consider small ball? Dwight Howard is 6'9, Kev is 6'9, Lebron is 6'8. Dwight can guard 5's and 4's. Now if your idea of small ball is what the Warriors play then they're the only team (besides a healthy Cavs team and maybe the Spurs) who can get away with playing small ball because of their personnel. Look around the league and tell me if a frontline of Lebron, Love and Dwight can't matchup with any lineup small ball or not. I think it can.
It really comes down to what you think small ball is.
