    Dude had so much potential when he was with Orlando. It's been downhill ever since.

    He should have gone to college.
    Big men are horrible when they make the jump to the NBA without spending time in college.

    Even his home town team didn't want him. I bet the number of arguments on the Hawks roster declines rapidly next year.

    I can't believe he is only 31 years old. Only way he will ever be a factor in league is if he realizes that he isn't a scorer. Rebound, play d and get baskets on glass and running court.

    He needs to be paired with shooters and spacing in order to be a top player. He should go to dub nation

    He doesn't care. He's rich for being a physical freak of nature. I feel bad for Greg Odom. He actually fought to try to get healthy, and compete. Just wasn't happening. Dwight just wants his check, and to hang out with kids.

    At least he got to the finals in his career, some of these good players haven't even got near the finals like CP3 and Melo.

    I think Dwight is still a top center in the league after Demarcus and Embiid and Towns. He's definitely better than Deandre Jordan and Drummond and those guys. Dwight has never improved while he's been in the league. He's stayed the same and that's been his downfall. He can still make all the plays he did when he was in Orlando. It's just now he's going against better centers, and his moves aren't working as much. He hasn't worked on his game enough.

    I really like your bball input even though you get grief for it alot but this one I have to comment on.

    I like Howard as an NBA player he was elite a few years ago and dragged a very mediocre Orlando team to the NBA finals single handidly. People forget that when paying him out which is the popular move it seems now.

    But come on Goat you know it aint a big guys league anymore. The bigs can either shoot jumpers and be soft or play hard set screens and get 8 points a game. Dwights neither of those, DeAndre Jordon is the only solid guy that does neither of the things I mentioned and be top level in the NBA, Dwight could but he won't.
