i would take dantoni + 5 traffic cones over having dwight on the team, even with phil

Personally I rather have the lakers struggle for an 8 seed without Dwight this season then get a 4 or 5 seed with him and have their ceiling be the 2nd round.

This. He's just not a #1 option. At this point he is what he is. Athletic, a great defender and rebounder and that's it. Good as a #2. Houston can be pretty damn good if ever does learn a post game and Harden cleans up some of his game, his defense and dribbling too much.
 
You're only seeing what you want to see. People are still being critical of Dwight... people on Niketalk.. people on Twitter.. the crew on Inside the NBA. No one is saying "Dwight had a great game" just because he's not in a Lakers jersey. They're still criticizing him.. don't look for a retroactive apology for being hard on the Lakers last year, it's not coming.

I know the media and some fans are still getting on him, but I was talking about the fanbase. Houston doesn't have the same expectations that the Lakers have, whether they're realistic or not. Big markets like that are tough to play in and it takes mentally tough players to succeed there not only because of the media, but because of the fans as well. I'm pretty sure that the Rocket fans are not going to criticize him nearly as much as he was criticized by Laker fans last year. That makes it more comfortable for him to keep dancing and laughing without feeling any type of way.

But from last year and everything he said in the offseason, he thinks he is a #1 option. Probably why he wants to post up more. Plus it seems like he resents when people want to give him advice or work on his game.
