By the way, without despite, Dwight is a better roster fill than Melo. Rim protector, rebounder, shot blockler, way more needed than a guy who doesn't play D like Melo.
Just woke up from a nightmare about him joining the Lakers,surprised that it might be a possibility and it’s understandable why they’re going in this direction, but damn.
Prefer they went with another player that is not such an immature delusional Howard. The net result of less drama and better team chemistry overshadows the few extra points, rebounds or blocks that Howard potentially adds.
Guys the Lakers already reported they don’t want AD playing big minutes at center because it increases his injury risk. Remember the Lakers bet their future on AD and if he injuried we are screwed for a long time. That being said the other choices are way too risky
Faried. he is too small if center bet him up AD would have to pick up more mi minutes at center
Gorat plain old sucks
Noah was ok but maybe over the hook now
If the above 2 Are below Their potential it means more AD st center r
Yes Dwight has risk
Injuried last few seasons but he expected to play limited minutes and those injuries aren’t career changing like ACL or anything.
Locker room attitude. He isn’t expected to do he a big focus so he will be relieved and perhaps be less of a pain
And if he doesn’t behave Lakers can waive him than consider the above players
Positives
Some upside he is great a lobs that means some pick and roll with the best guy at being the ball handler in pick and roll Lebron
He can hold his own against other big guys. Meaning less use of AD at center
He loves LA some hopefully he will be behaved

This is awful. Feels like driving off the lot in a brand new BMW, and then a wheel falls off (Cousins) and then a giant turd drops on the corner of your windshield, just out of reach of the wiper. Now I have to stare at this giant turd on my brand new, washed and detailed car. Dwight is that turd. He is not a spare tire.

To the people who really don't want Dwight. Don't worry. We're cursed. He'll only play a couple games and then he'll injure himself for the season. That's how our luck has been lately. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”
Veteran squad and a veteran squad may humble dwight and hell play his "tyson chandler role" kobe wanted him to play years ago. This was him last year pre injury
Dwight instantly becomes the Lakers third best player. The role he should have accepted when he was here the first time.
Good signing if it happens. _________________ “There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.” ―Bruce Lee
