Nag bago isip ng Kings. there were reports that he would get the ax before the all-star.

ganyan din sinabi ng Phoenix a few days before they fired Hornacek

Hornacek was in the final year of his contract yata so he was let go. George Karl first year pa lang. Three more years so the Kings might be thinking it is more economical to keep him.

Half-Man, Half-Amazing: Vince Carter's Ultimate Toronto Raptors Mixtape

I have a feeling someone (Zach LaVine?) will do a VC tribute at the Slam Dunk contest in Toronto next week.

Always rated Dominique Wilkins the best dunker ever, until Vince Carter came along. Nique was probably the better "show" dunker, certainly an explosive one but Carter is the better in-game dunker, which makes his jams all the more special.

Howard and Harden didn't really develop any semblance of chemistry. Howard's performance is already in decline for the last few years so this move really makes sense for them to compete in the future.

Good thing LA didn't get to tie up max money on Dwight.

paolorenzo · « **Reply #1751 on:** Feb 12, 2016 at 07:35 AM »

Parang just another center na lang si Dwight. Lalo with the likes of Whiteside and Myles Turner on the rise. I am so excited for Myles' career progression.

DVD_Freak · « **Reply #1752 on:** Feb 12, 2016 at 07:43 AM »

Dwight's skill level has gone down a notch. Coupled with the Rockets' under-using him, lalong na emphasize. How can you excel nga if you are just taking 8 shots a game on average. Dwight needs around 12-15. Last season Harden was complaining he needs a PG and relieve himself more from ball handling chores. Binigyan siya ng PG in Lawson... hindi naman binago ang laro at swapang pa rin.

newwaveboy · « **Reply #1753 on:** Feb 12, 2016 at 08:17 AM »

More than the skills, injuries has taken its toll on Howard ....... IMO if Morey can get decent returns trading Howard, then do it.

I agree that there seems to be little chemistry between Howard & his teammates, despite last season's run.

Danny Ainge might want to swing a trade with one of his many draft picks - a healthy Howard might (just might) be enough for a deep playoff run.

thebat · « **Reply #1754 on:** Feb 12, 2016 at 08:59 AM »

Dwight Howard never really developed his pos moves, or any offensive move for that matter. Worst naging cry baby na sya always complaining and tamad na nag D. He should have had dominated in this league pero di nangyari. Yan na yan complaints din ni Shaq, etc. Tapod na career nya IMO.

Oo nga, buti na lang di nag resign si d12 sa LA. They would've had trouble getting the likes of Boozer and Hibbert had Dwight's max money tied up their cap. Haha..

Kudos to Klay! He truly WON that contest. Unbelievable finish!

Slamdunk contest is going to be a classic. Isa sa pinaka malupit na labanan. Gordon vs Lavine. Umuulan ng perfect score.

prototypeone · « **Reply #1763 on:** Feb 14, 2016 at 11:28 AM »

We have a sick dunk contest right now!

lithium_deuteride · « **Reply #1764 on:** Feb 14, 2016 at 11:29 AM »

Amazing dunks by Gordon and Levine. But hands down, I'd give it to Gordon on degree of difficulty and creativity. His dunks with the mascot, specially the second one were so original.

Deym! Share nalang sila sa trophy. Both delivering sick dunks!

Aaron Gordon should have won IMHO.

lithium_deuteride · « **Reply #1768 on:** Feb 14, 2016 at 11:36 AM »

Nah. Zack was good but Gordon had the better dunks by far.

DVD_Freak · « **Reply #1769 on:** Feb 14, 2016 at 11:36 AM »

Lavine won but Gordon had the 2 best dunks of the night.
