NBA makes no sense because Dwight Howard is better than Jaxson Hayes right now
Broooo DH WOULD BE A WAY BETTER BACK UP THAN ANYONE WE HAVE
I second that times a thousand
You guys are stuck in the past. At this point in his career...Hayes is probably the better floor runner. At least with Hayes...you don't have to worry about him trying to rape your younger players.
@@patricksmith8171 😂bomboclaat
@@patricksmith8171 Lmao. I’m still going with Howard Hayes looked confused going against joker last year
@@royalbloodline5610Howard got kicked off the team for fighting AD if he can’t get along with other guys there’s no place for him they should bring back javalee McGee
FIRST OF ALL, THE LAKERS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BROKEN UP THAT 2020 CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM!!!!! THEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT THEM TOGETHER FOR ANOTHER FULL 82 GAMES SEASON!!!!!! BRING BACK HOWARD AND MAGEE TO BATTLE THE JOKER IN THE PAINT.!!!!!!!!
💯
ABSOFUCKINGLUTLY !!!💯🤯 We had the squad to repeat and then some 🤔👀🤩
Stop - The 2021 team was better and everyone at the time said it. If AD didn't go down we beat PHX (was up 2-1). This is revisionist history
Exaaaaactly!!! I was screaming this at the start of the 20-21 season 😔😔😔. They deserved the opportunity to defend that title!!! We as the Laker fans deserved to see it 😂😂.
Dwight’s one of my favorite hoopers. I hope he returns
If Dwight returns and wins another championship this year with the Lakers, Lakers need to retire his jersey #12/#39.
😂 calm down LMAO
LETS GO LAKERS !! Bring back DWIGHT & JAVALE !!!😱🤯🤩💯
Yes yes yes
Bring him in for a workout just let Castlton go
Castleton is a two way. Dwight cannot take his spot
Nah cas can be a future center in two years
@@1986kingcashcastleton is way to skinny. Always gets over powered
@@AquinoAquino-wd8cc i said two years..I think in two years he'll be a great 19min back up he needs a good 10-12pound's on him
😂same shit was said 2 years ago @@1986kingcash
Imagine they bring back both JaVale and Dwight
Even if he just rode the bench, Dwight brought FUN and JOY from the sidelines to the team, which motivated them and made them play so much better.
That look on Dwight's face at end of the interview... hahaha
This is what pisses me off about the league sometimes. We have Jaxson Hayes on a minimum who averaged 4.3 pts and 3.0 rbs last year in the rotation on the LAKERS when in Dwight’s “ bad year” he put up 6.2 pts and 5.9 rbs I don’t understand how you want one over the other when Howard was a still a great shot blocker and rim runner
This man LITERALLY just played over seas and dominated and dancing like he’s 30, WTH are you talking about Trevor. Clearly this man is in shape. We’re not talking about a starter position but he can definitely clean up the boards coming off the bench. Sh** Id take him over Kessler and Robinson any day.
The competition is absolutely trash there. And it shows in the games. Ntm he’s literally there as an entertainment spectacle and cause he’s getting a bag. That’s it. He is 1000% not in nba shape
Bring both Dwight and Javale. They are best hope to deal with Jokic.
Personally, we can’t talk about Javale and NOT say Dwight can’t help 😭😭 I’d rather both over what we have rn no matter what
JaVale is the guy to bring back. He's still in shape.
dwight in tip top shape plus he’s better defender
He plays for the kings
Drummond is the guy to bring back.
@@overqualified420he was soft
@@killakam9006he’s a rxpist “allegedly”
Don't forget, when D'Howard returned that year that you are talking about, AD fucked-up, disrespected, and embarrassed D'Howard on national TV during the game. That affected the chemistry. From that point, D'Howard's body language and performance wasn't the same. Just a recap, AD came up to D'Howard on the bench and got physical on him. AD did something he shouldn't have done... especially on national TV during the game. So, it wasn't just a drop-off based on age. In my opinion, AD's action that year contributed more to that.
The amount of people asking for Dwight back is absolutely insane lol. 95% of Laker fans are 🐑
Well you need to go my boy. You must a golden state fan
I never wanted him to leave. IDC if he was only averaging 8 points. I'm sick of legends being pushed to the side and forced to retire because of politics. Dwight sacrificed his back TWICE for this team. Dude is 7 feet tall that shit had to be a nightmare for him but he still laced up. why TF can't y'all just respect him based on that alone?.
Like you say Travis, it doesn't hurt to bring Dwight Howard for work out.
TravDogg
Listen we talk about production but he can still be dominant if given the chance. We don’t need him to play 38 minutes and get us 20 and 10 and 3 blocks but his defense and athleticism still provides value. He’s super strong and in shape. He’s proven. He’s a better shooter but the lakers didn’t need him taking threes. He can slow down Jokic and Embiid and free up AD again. He’s aged gracefully too but we don’t get to see it playing 10 minutes a game. Give him a chance.
We need Dwight back, he’s strong and can still score
The fact that Jeanie Buss was willing to have a sit down with Dwight on his fairly new podcast to clear up some of the confusion shows that there is real interest on both sides. Lakers need to get this done yesterday!
I would like Dwight back, but he must leave the baby oil out of the equation.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭
baby oil is wild 😂
@@dwightwilliams8051 😁
And the wigs😅
Hopefully him or Javele
Besides AD, what other Centers on the Lakers is better than Dwight 😂
He still better then 85% of all Centers!
😂
@@justthisguy1948Stop laughing and name 10 centers better than Dwight. Should be easy......Right?
@@hotice8885so why has he been, out of league
@@hotice8885 Every starting center in the NBA is better right now.
They should bring him back
We should just bring Dwight back
Other teams would hate for us to bring back Dwight Howard. It’s not that he’s an elite player at his age, it’s that he’s annoying af to play against.
They owe him a shot/workout. Same w javalle.
D Howard in pink dress 😂
Bring him back
Hey. R u slow?
Bring back Javale Magee, that is all what we need right now.
Dlo, Max, Bron, AD, D12
It's too simple for la to actually do they have to making things difficult
I like it let Austin Reaves run the second unit
BRING HIM BACK!!!!!!
Good coverage of this. Enjoy the channel.
Howard > cwood/hayes- for defensive presence yes
BRING BACK DWIGHT! We could use him for some valuable vet minutes on Jokic, etc. and bring that size back that had us dominating in 2020.
Perhaps most of all, he brought that priceless energy from the bench that gave us chemistry and made have FUN. The most fun in the league.
I'm a fan of Dwight. Very underappreciated. He would add to this team.
TIRED of yelling for a center, only to have the front office give us empty promises and bargain basement knockoff centers instead. SMH
The game has outpaced him too much at this point. He's damn near 40 and was already foul happy years ago when we had him.
We don’t need him to play 40 minutes though. Who cares if he gets 6 fouls in 12 minutes?
Why is it okay for LB to play at 39 DH can do the same thing
Nope😂
That's a crazy comment.
Literally!!!!!
Ask me in 2024 who’s I rather have Dwight or castleton and I’ll tell you 10-10 give me Dwight no question
Castleton has a two way contract so cutting him does not open a roster spot.
The year we won the championship Dwight Howard he was right there. I think everybody agrees with me on that note. Bring him back he's a big man.. that will help us a whole lot
He’s too freaky
Lol 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 I tried to tell most of laker fans . They don’t care ! Which is sick
Y’all too conservative, at least that’s what he’d prolly say. And to stay out his business 😂
@@ahnreiwilliams6895The problem isnt his freakiness off the court.. The problem is there are videos that suggest that Howard would harrass teammates because of his freakiness.. Thats unacceptable
😂
Yes and McGee
Please get Dwight back!!!!!
If it were up to me, I would replace Hayes, Wood and Castleton with McGee, Howard and Marcus Morris.
Please bring him back!!!!
Give that man a spot
i would love dwhite back bring him back
Do whatever you can to get Dwight he’s an experienced vet that knows the team can play his role and knows how to play joker!!!
put aside the egos and bring dwight back, you cant deny his value.
Bring him back asap
can we really hold his last time with us against him? that team wasn't good overall and wasn't coached very well
For REAL!!! A lot of people are just bringing up Dwight's last Laker tour as if it defined him, when it reallt didn't even tell the truth about him!
And howard was injured
Bring back Dwight and javaal for play with wood Hayes and castleson
Bring back Dwight Howard and get rid of Pelinka.
I would absolutely bring both javale and Dwight Howard in for a work out and see what they’ve got left in the tank. Especially if we are able to trade (even by attaching second round picks) players like cam reddish, and Maxwell, Luis, who has shown me nothing.
The bungled negotiation with DH to return to the Lakers is water under the bridge. No changing that. I agree, let him come in for a workout and sign him if he passes muster.
Aw man that sucks, looking at him wincing like that. We wanted him, he wanted us, and the Lakers wanted him too. That agent was being incompetent, and it sucks.
There’s nothing wrong with giving him a spot. Literally nothings we have nothing to lose.
And he will help
I hate hearing our team owner talk about anything related to the team in public
Bring him in for a workout. Koloko and Wood are still not assured that they will be ready to play. I like Hayes more than Castleton but if Koloko and/or Wood cannot play than having Howard available would be good.
Yes🎉🎉🎉 i hope so
They should of made a point to keep Dwight and JaVale, giant fumble.
Did Caruso have the same phantom agent? Lol jeanie cappin hardd
This Dwight Howard miscommunication cost the lakers a championship because they would have beat Jokic and the Denver Nuggets if Dwight Howard was there. DH and AD on Jokic at the same time - game over.
The problem is the Lakers have done NOTHING that worked since Howard walked…. And what Howard provided, we all know was valuable. It doesn’t make sense, AD doesn’t want to play the 5. 🤷🏾♂️
Now we wanna talk about this😂🤦🏻♂️been trying to get him!!
Facts, it won’t hurt at all. BRING BACK DH!!
Y'all know why he not coming back😅
Baby oil, lol 😂😅😂😂..
A bit troublesome, but I d bring him back 😂
BRING HIM BACK‼️‼️‼️‼️
Basically....sports & Hollywood are both full of SH*T 😂😂
All we need is a big physical body next to AD, it's a lot of bigs out west now, AD would be worn out playing the 5, Howard can still be a physical force in the paint.
The ball is moving too fast, and he is not fast enough to cover the corner 3s. No more back against the basket. Pick & roll defense is Dwight's biggest weakness. Love him, though.
I hate when people fo that. His production didn't fall his minutes did and Westbrook was in the way stealing rebounds to get triple doubles
All this makes for compelling video and chat but there is a whole other reason that you never mention as to why no one brought Dwight back in and you know it has nothing to do with skill drop off. You wont say it and I wont either then but we all know. I like Dwight and I would love him back on the team. All that cap space talk makes me sick when I think there are about 4 guys on the team that dont even deserve paycheck clogging up our freaking payoll. Last night I watch Lonnie Walker go off for 20 points with Boston shot looking great and it pissed me off as the guys we should still have we dont and the ones that should have been gone are still here
Yes bring him back …! That’s the piece of the puzzle that the Lakers are missing…!
I feel like the season he returned is suppressed because the roster and team identity changed in comparison to the championship season. I don’t think he was the only one whose numbers fell off that season. The chemistry was off. Maybe he is, maybe isn’t, as far as an answer, I don’t know, but I don’t really count that return season, personally.
You have to give him a work out
If anything, bring Dwight and Javale back as a big man coaches so they can train some of these young big men how to play the position. Colin Castleton, Kylor Kelley, Christian Koloko, Armel Traore, and even Jaxson Hayes need a lot of work and can learn a lot from Dwight and Javale.
Assuming he's 80% sure but that's a big assumption to make
He wasn't used the same, the vibes were off especially when we got brickbrick. Dude is in shape, 1 year younger than bron. Theres no one else that can body up bigs.
Sign the man
If he just finishing lobs, the he wasn't getting the same amount of lobs..explains the 10%drop...that's upsurge to put it all on him
Just keep him active in the Lakers loop, and wait if after the ASB if a spot opens up.
If I'm going by body language Jeanie is telling the truth
Bro I can't believe you say his stats dropped playing less minutes! Clown for saying this Trevor! He can still play!
That’s not fair. The lakers were a reck with Russ and Darvin ham
I swear to god this team is the same year after year.
Management should’ve been fired for breaking up that team!! They won a chip and broke the team up! Stupidity
Trev just trademark the word “fantastic” already bro
Looking at this clip, where is Stanley?
Dwight can definitely play I would want him on the sixers this year if we didn't get Drum
Get him a workout. Give him the 3rd string center role if he’s ready. take him easy in the regular season. . In a playoffs series he could give the joker and other big centers some bruising for 8-10 minutes a game.
Trevor talked shit about Dwight since 2021
You must have said BRING HIM IN 6363838474838 times 🙄
People see one 30 second video of Javale and want him back... HE'S WASHED! Look at his Sacramento days. A 30 second video isnt a 82 games season!
And NO to D12 also!
I think the agent told him that because 76ers probably had a bigger contract and it was more money to extort
Bring him back!!!!! The Lakers have been clamoring for a servicable bruising center. If D Howard can still convert 60% around the basket that is icing on the cake. He can definitely still alter shots and push opponents from around the basket and grab boards.
