As a Magic fan, I can tell you Lakers fans you might get angry at Dwight from time to time. He's a great defender in the paint and a great rebounder of course, but offensively at times he just really sucks. He showed flashes last year. It seemed he had really worked on his little hook and his overall footwork. Sometimes he is just careless. He likes to hold the ball down low and gets stripped a lot. He pouts to the refs EVERY time he misses a shot or gets stripped (like a lot of players). Plus he's just straight up abysmal at free throws. A couple years ago his attitude just took a nosedive. He used to be a happy go lucky guy who seemed to really love the game and his teammates. Then he just became a diva.

i dont think that Dwight is the problem, it is the fact that Steve Nash can not play defense to save his life and they are not running a uptempo run and shoot offense, so Nash also cant play the half court triangle sets or isolation either.
there is a lot of good young point guards and combo guards in the NBA now, with tons of potential. And they are going to eat Nash up every game. (Collison and Lillard for example.) Guys like Kyrie Irving are going to shit on the Lakers for this very reason. Russel Westbrook is going to eat them up and spit them out |

They didn't bring in Nash because he was as good defender, and none of the rest of the Laker guards can defend. I'm not sure what you were expecting.

I thought they brought in Nash to do what he's done his entire career incredibly efficiently and run the pick and roll. But Mike Brown.

BTW I was rooting for your Raptors last night and they really should won that game. They have a chance to be a playoff team but can't blow games like last night. |

Harden is a max contract player. He earned it. The problem is OKC has 2 other max contract players, and his role on the Thunder was to provide bench scoring. You had 2 options. Trade Westbrook for a similar deal, and keep and sign Harden to start or what they did. It's a difficult choice to make. I could make a case for going either way.
Martin just needs to be a scoring 6th man off the bench with Maynor facilitating. It will take a while to get it going, but they will be fine. The goods news is they got rid of 3 players that can't play, and added an extra talented player. The trade can't be judged until the picks are used in some way. We will know in 3 or 4 years. Maybe sooner if the picks are traded. |

I think Durant really can score over 30 PPG this year.
