At the end of the day even if Dame wants to go to Miami but if the management deals with other teams and he's willing to put there, he will just have to be obliged, right? Or he's got the right to decline that trade. Like for example this deal trade with the Bulls is agreed.

They might not have that much but some support players could also be dealt with upon for this trade if ever this happens. But again, this is just a rumor and we'll never know until a deal settles if it's with Miami or Bulls or any other interested team.

I am not entirely sure if it was all about his issues or anything but if he had any issues at locker room, that is still a valid reason not to get him as well. Doesn't matter if he was an "elite" player, to be fair at that age I highly doubt that he could be elite, I watched his last season at NBA and he was nowhere near elite, but he was basically carrying some minutes so that the real center would relax.

However, if he was only let go and couldn't find a place in the NBA because of his personality or anything like that, then I am guessing that he is not going to end up with anything that would be any different here as well. What if he has some sort of locker room issues and ruins something perfectly running so far.

I do understand why Dame would want out of Portland, they are not really doing all that great and it would make sense to see him leave, but I do not understand why Lavine would want to leave, they do have a good core there and could do fine. If Lavine leaves, with Dame at the helm along with Derozan, that team could be a very good team. Lavine would just be a tank commander at that point and leave after his contract is up, so its not really a good trade for him. I still think that Dame and Blazers could just come to an agreement to cancel the contract, its allowed, they do not have to pay him if he agrees, and then Dame can go wherever he wants but take a pay cut instead. Not many teams or players do that, I think it should be considered.

You want news everyone about Dwight Howard's development together with the Golde State Warriors? Here's what we've got.

Warriors Will Not Sign Dwight Howard After Two-Day Visit, per Report

Warriors pass on signing Dwight Howard to maintain roster flexibility, per report

Many thought that it's like 99% of him signing on the current roster of the Warriors but then, that little percentage of failing prevailed.

I'm already expecting that. Not by the Golden State Warriors just want to give a chance for Dwight Howard or offer him a veteran contract, but simply, they don't need him as part of the roster as they always have a flexible roster since then with no big man on the lineup. I also doubt that even the Warriors will sign him, he will just be a bench warmer and mostly do clapping around on the bench.

The Golden State Warriors have built by small lineup since then. Instead of giving their strength to the paint, they focused more on the outside shooting that's why they don't need a big man on their lineup. On the defensive end, it's not also a problem not having a big man as NBA today isn't that fully dominated by big man nowadays.

Dwight Howard should just enjoy being an import of the outside league and enjoy good money flowing to him before retiring.

Ok, I guess the Warriors will have to look for another big man still? Or will tend still contend with the small line up. But I do not think that it will be enough, currently we have big men, like Jokic, Embiid and even Giannis or AD, and with Draymond mostly playing them, it will be hard for the Warriors with the small line up that they have right now.

They don't have the advantage on the speed, their best player is above 30++, no more young legs like Jordan Poole. But maybe they see something in Dwight that will not be perfect fit. Maybe Howard really lost some steps as he himself is also on the twilight of his career.

I try to look at their big men line up and this is the name that comes up, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Usman Garuba on a two-way.

I'm not familiar with the two names, but maybe they are more impressive that Dwight. And we all know that the Warriors loves to developed new players like in the case of Kuminga or even Wiseman (but they have to trade him).

So let's see if this is the right way for the Warriors, Looney, Draymond, and Saric.

It would seem that Howard was literally one step away from returning to the NBA, especially when there were rumors of Warriors veterans approving the idea of bringing Dwight into the fold.
It would be interesting to know what exactly went wrong, although I think either Howard failed to impress Warriors management during the interview process or he didn't accept the role he was offered.
I wonder if there are any other teams that might be interested in Howard.

Everybody thought he was already about to sign with the Warriors but it didn't happen. When things were almost happening smoothly, it went south.

We will know about that soon and maybe there's a third party that intervene for this deal and that's why the Warriors management probably seen that possible scenario so instead of letting things happen, they're the first one to decline the deal and to make it clear to the world that they're not going to sign Dwight. Hoping that there's really another team that's interested of signing him.

I also thought that it was a done deal already as Howard is a sho-in for the Warriors and it might work for him and for the Warriors as well. Maybe we will know what Dwight Howard didn't passed. Perhaps maybe his age or his antics in and out of the court.

Or just the Warriors just looking for a swing man as they have already Draymond and Saric and other names mentioned as well that they could experimented and developed to become a good back up Center for them.
