which team gives dwight the best chance to win a title right now, and in the future going forward? (ok ok, miami heat excluded. besides wade / bron are untradable and orlando wouldn't take bosh)


I must admit, as a BASKETBALL FAN, it's extremely frustrating to see dwight snub the OBVIOUS choices... it's just frustrating. I dont care if he went to a team that I root against, I'd just like him to make the best basketball choice.. He wont go to OKC and he wont go to chicago, easily the best places to win titles for the next 10 years.

This thread is sparked by the recent westbrook / durant rift... You really cant make more sense for a trade than dwight for westbrook straight up... or dwight / nelson for westbrook / perkins... Perhaps no trade in NBA history makes more sense than this for "basketball reasons"...

    ? Dwight, he aint gon reach the level of Shaq,Kareem,Hakeem,Bill,Wilt cuz as we speak he aint even close to matchn M. Malone, Ewing & D. Rob. Dwight he a monster on defense but if he playd in the 90s he woulda been Alonzo Mourning status smh! So he should go to where he got the best chance to win NOW. Thunder should package RW,Perk & maybe Maynor, a pick for D12. And Dwight wil jus be puttin 18-22ppg & 13rpg for OKC. He wont outshine KD. He jus aint Shaq nor Moses Malone

    Realistically the Bulls ...him and Rose would be together for about a strong 7 seasons ... they would run the east

    Bulls make the most since "Basketball" wise , but Chicago isn't on his mind

    I would say the Nets because of the exposure compared to Orlando.......but even though i would hate to admit this but the Lakers are a better fit because Kobe will be done soon and all he needs is a solid big man. And I would like my Grizzlies to beat the son them when they have a better squad.

    I really don't think many stars want to play with Rose b/c Rose shoots a lot and always has the ball. Same reason none of them wanted to play with Iverson.

    Right... cuz that matters? He's the best C in the league now and for the foreseeable future. Putting up 20 n 13 every night is all star status, wtf are you saying.

    No one wants to come here because deron hasn't made a commitment to stay. If he signed an extention things would have been a little different.

    haha, I was really just throwing out possible scenarios, BASKETBALL WISE... because that is very possible, if the clippers wanted to do it...

    I cant believe I'm the only one who voted OKC.... How is a line up of:

    Dwight
    Ibaka
    Durrant
    Harden
    Maynor


    Not an NBA title? HOW??? You pretty much have 3 7 footers... 2 being the most athletic 7 footers in the entire NBA... sure durrant isn't a defensive guy, but he'll do enough in a system with those 2...

    To me, defensively, those guys would be the 2nd coming of Robinson / Duncan, except both are more athletic (while a little shorter), and still in their primes (robinson was old with the spurs)...

    Then you have the best scorer in the NBA in durant... A great scorer in harden... This beats anything even the bulls could throw on the floor...


    Dwight / Ibaka / Durrant / Harden / Maynor >>> Dwight / ? / Gibson / Rip / Rose

    So why would it make sense for Dwight to go there if Deron isn't even Committed??

    Still waiting on Jay-z to bring Lebron there? Waiting on Jay-Z to get Melo there? Deron Signed the extension yet??..........oh

    Nets trash

    Lol

    If Dwight comes to the nets deron will stay. They are friends (along with morrow) off the court.

    how about orlando. I dont understand these players. He just went to the finals 2 years back. They're a player or two away but he done came out and publicly expressed not wanting to be there and all of a sudden now he want to go to L.A. just like Shaq.

    I lost a lot of respect for this ?

    dude trading chandler and amare to get dwight is damn near a wash trade.. you give up a big time defensive guy thats a little taller than dwight and doesn't need the ball at all, and you give up a better scorer than dwight.. that doesn't make them better.. might actually make em worse.

    in that article he also said that Dallas is the best spot for him and Deron to go to.....but i hope he goes to CHI so that the lakers can get Deron before the Mavs sign him in free agency
