He said he had an interest in playing for the Clippers too. He could probably start for them tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I think teams are wise to stay away from Howard. He's more trouble than he's worth at this point IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was healthy in Charlotte he averaged 17/12/2 on 55% FG. He can definitely still play and be a rim running big in the right situation.

Obviously losing the draft capital sucks but adding Beal would put them in tier 1 and give them a legitimate shot at a championship. Plus they'd only be losing one rotation player and would be replacing him with a significantly better player. This is in a hypothetical world where Beal asks for a trade. It would take a lot more for Washington to trade Beal without a trade request from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his "cancerous" behavior happened during his prime when he was considered one of the best players in the league. If he goes to a team with a strong locker room and can be a role player, I think it can work. He's better than at least half the starting centers in the NBA.

They need to blow their roster up and get as many young assets as they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Zion's shoe deal with Jordan was actually a 5 yr/$75M deal. $15M per year is definitely not bad. I wonder if he'll get a signature shoe before the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah to me this is a realistic package to get it done and I don't love it if Harris can prove he is healthy. I think there are arguments either way for making a deal like this for Beal. I personally wouldn't do this, though, and depending on how Harris and MPJ look out of the gate, Washington might want a different package as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both just sucked. yeah not really he just isn't very good anymore. seems like he's less so a "cancer" and more just like not a guy teams want in the locker room because of his personality.

If he doesn't return to form they're going to be stuck in purgatory for a while and at best be a fringe playoff team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
