Some of the players that have been seen played in the FIBA world cup got their own respective contracts from NBA teams. Well, it's another international stage and how much more it would be if it's the Paris Olympics next year. There will be more prospect for that tournament and for sure that there are already scouts out there waiting for the talents to show off. So for me, this is what pushes the Warrior to get a big man, to match up against this player specially in West and Dwight might be a perfect fit for the role.
Many agrees about Dwight as a good addition to the Golden State Warriors as their main big man to face other big men like Jokic. Dwight is a traditional big man. Trying to cover a center who plays like a point guard is exactly what they don't need. Jokic is comfortable playing on the outside where Dwight gets lost on defense. If Dwight signs it's for a role that plays around 10 minutes or so on the court. It's not going to be the missing piece to beat denver.

Oops, something is interesting that has been reported just now. Dwight is in the meeting with the Golden State Warriors. Maybe he's been heard and this is it for his comeback to the NBA. This wall that has been tweeting funnily from Taiwan seems to be serious now about being acquired by the Dub nation. ( https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-dwight-howard-possible-nba-return) I just saw Shams reporting this as well. I don’t know exactly why Dwight got blackballed from the NBA, but I do have some clues… Anyway, I think he’s still an above average NBA center and I think he would be great on the Warriors. He is what they’re missing. He might serve as a good placeholder while they start getting their offense tuned for Giannis. Yeah, Dwight still has some prowess and he can stop the other big guy that GSW might face. I'm just happy to see that this could be the entry for his return to the NBA. He's not that bad at all and for sure that he's not going to let this slip and will show what he's got and still can play inside the paint. And this meeting is also a good answer for what's happening with his contract in Taiwan as it was reported that he'll get a pay cut there, so this is just really good and in time. And I think the experienced too, and so he might be a good addition to the Warriors as they needed a good big man. Yes, the league has been playing small, but I still do believed that a legitimate Center might be a good addition for the Warriors which they have during their championship run. Dwight being active in Taiwan might be a good deal for him, as he keep his body and mind very active during his stint in their league. So let's see if this will materialized and see Dwight in the Warriors uniform. It will materialize as soon as both camps will agree to a certain deal and I don't think that it will be a money problem because Dwight have already expressed his words that he wanted to play in the NBA since last year but no teams on the league is willing to give him a contract, even if it's just 1-year deal. But now, the tide has turned because they wanted a legitimate center, and they can see that Dwight is the best man they could have this season. So, let's see what will happen in the few days to come.

Another possibility is if Giannis is willing to adjust with his salary for the sake of another title, which may be far from reality, it's more on the money side and no longer on any pride or any title in my opinion.
But we never know if he can adjust or if Warriors are also interested in him. Maybe they will adjust or maybe they will be willing to pay for it and also with the luxury tax obligation.
It will be tough, but we never know how or if it's possible if both camps will agree on something.
That would be a stupid move by Giannis. He is already an MVP and FMVP at the current moment, he is already one of the best, and he already won a title as well. His place at Hall of Fame is already guaranteed, how many title winning MVP's and FMVP's ended up not getting into Hall of Fame before? I am sure none of them ever did. I think it is quite important to realize that we are going to end up with something that would be a difficult thing in the end. I think the best thing to do would be allowing a situation that would be great to handle on the long term. I hope that it gets to a point where it would have to be something that would be tougher on the money side, he should accept as much money as possible for now. That all depends to him though, we don't know Giannis that much and that statement of him was already a clue that he is looking forward to another championship title and that is the priority, money comes in second because it will always follow him as long as he can be valuable to any team mainly now that he already proved what he can do in the league. Now, the question that everyone is curious about, will the Milwaukee Bucks do anything about it? Or they will just sit tight again and risk losing Giannis.

I agree, it won't be about the money but it will be about something that they will think is a hurdle along the way. I believe that Dwight Howard wanted to retire soon enough, he just cannot do it these days because he thinks that he is still not finished playing and the only way to do that is to step again in the NBA and play for any team that will give him a chance. This time, it's with the Golden State Warriors and I'm glad for this news as Dwight deserved to be given a chance again.

This wall that has been tweeting funnily from Taiwan seems to be serious now about being acquired by the Dub nation. ( https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-dwight-howard-possible-nba-return) Just in case this really happens hopefully they will win the championship to help Chris Paul get one. However I'm not sure if Dwight Howard would really contribute to him or the whole organization because let's be honest at this time Howard is far different from his era. Dwight Howard has had two finals appearances and one of them resulted in a championship. He went from losing to the Lakers to winning a championship when he joined the Lakers like Kevin Durant does when losing to Warriors. In my honest opinion, Dwight will never going to be something of a huge help for the Warriors to get back in the finals, and he'll never going to be the team's starting center, It should be Looney who will start and he is going to be a back up center. The kind of play he had will not going to be effective in todays NBA game. I hope the Warriors will going to find a gem for them to be relevant again so we can see them again in the finals. I agree as Looney will still be on the rotation and if ever Howard will be signed by the Warriors, he will have lesser minutes as Warriors can also do an experiment to play small. Instead of having Looney or Howard, they can go with Green, that if CP3 will be included with their starting 5, Chance to see Splash bros with Green, Wiggins and CP3. Small lineup that will focus with good offense to counter whatever the system of their opponents.

And yet I still believe this will not work out fine. This is a new roster and I think Draymond Green is way over his head. For a lot of times, a team with so many superstars doesn't work out fine. Take the Lakers and the Miami Heat. Both tried the same strategy but ended up badly. But, look at what Dallas Mavericks made. Marion, Dirk, Jason Kidd, Terry, and some roleplayers. Chemistry is at the highest level because they know who is the leader of the team. Now, they are breaking chemistry just because they want a super team. It doesn't work. I am repeating it over and over again.a

My answer will be no, they still need to have a good chemistry inside even if they have the traditional big men in Howard. There are super teams that work and there are super teams that didn't. So it's really hard to compare them, it's really up how this superstars are going to give up their status, like the DWade and Lebron + Bosh in Miami.

Agent Rich Paul has made 900 million dollars worth of contract this summer. And if we look at just this year, his players will be getting paid a total of 500 million dollars this year as well.
Even if he takes just 3% of that (which I am sure he takes more but lets assume 3% for now) that would make it 15 million a year just on that alone, obviously he helps the players get endorsements and all that, which means that he is getting paid close to 30 million dollars, since shoe deals and such also end up as much as what the salary is for most players (some more, some less). That's some good agent right there, Lebron brought him from nothing and turned him into one of the if not the greatest agent in the league all by his own status.

I think everyone is making too much about d Howard. He was a good piece 10 years ago. He couldn't land in the NBA last year what is going to make a guy with 20 nba years of mileage on him make a difference for this team. It's all about steph and klay.

It is reported that Jarred Vanderbilt Agree to 4-Year, $48M with the Los Angeles Lakers, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and agent Erika Ruiz told Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium on Friday that Vanderbilt has agreed to a four-year, $48 million extension with the Lakers. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10089573-lakers-jarred-vanderbilt-agree-to-4-year-48m-contract-ahead-of-2023-nba-seasonI think he is one great addition to the Lakers, he has a good defense, specially in their playoff series against the Warriors, he guarded the smaller Steph Curry and he really made him earn his points. And with this, the Lakers seems to be posed to make a run with their solid lineup already.

Breaking news: ESPN Sources: The Blazers have ended trade talks on guard Damian Lillard and plan to bring him back to training camp for start of the season. The blazers had periodic offseason conversations with the Heat — Lillard’s desired destination — but no traction on a deal materialized.
https://twitter.com/wojzspen/status/1703084100712566962So it seems that Lillard has been ask to go back to training camp as there are no deal made by the Portland management to his desired destination of Miami Heat. This could impact his performance though, and if I'm not mistaken, there are also reports that he might sit out the rest of the season? We will see what's going to happen on Lillard's case here at the start of the NBA next month.

That of course also means he doesn't want to start or play the regular season. In my opinion that's really shameful. These players sign contracts and have to be held accountable for that. You can't just refuse to do your job. Next to not getting paid these players should also get extra fines for contract violations I think, otherwise this will never end. Not showing up is damage to the team. Not only do they not have their best player and therefor it's impossible to compete but also they will lose jersey sales. Which fan on Portland thinks about buying Lillard's jersey if they have to assume he is leaving anyway -> missed sales for the franchise.

Yeah, it's really hard to see Lillard sitting this season and not playing for the Blazers. And if you look at his contract, it's about $216 million left. So that is a huge money that they are going to pay him if he is not going to play this season. Looking very ugly right now, not good for Dame and for the Blazers as you have said, they are losing big money every day that Lillard misses and probably the tickets are also going down as fans doesn't want to watch the game live without him in the Blazers uniform.

Which fan on Portland thinks about buying Lillard's jersey if they have to assume he is leaving anyway -> missed sales for the franchise. Yeah, it's really hard to see Lillard sitting this season and not playing for the Blazers. And if you look at his contract, it's about $216 million left. So that is a huge money that they are going to pay him if he is not going to play this season. Looking very ugly right now, not good for Dame and for the Blazers as you have said, they are losing big money every day that Lillard misses and probably the tickets are also going down as fans doesn't want to watch the game live without him in the Blazers uniform. That's why there's a contract. If Lillard doesn't violate his contract by sitting out the whole season, then he cannot be held liable for any damages. The Blazers should have already anticipated events like this, as similar situations have occurred in other teams in the past. So, if they choose to keep Lillard but he refuses to play, I think the better solution would be to trade him. In the end, it's not personal; it's all about business and should aim to be a win-win situation for both parties. And if there are losses involved in the decision-making process, at least they can work on minimizing them.

Breaking news: ESPN Sources: The Blazers have ended trade talks on guard Damian Lillard and plan to bring him back to training camp for start of the season. The blazers had periodic offseason conversations with the Heat — Lillard’s desired destination — but no traction on a deal materialized.
https://twitter.com/wojzspen/status/1703084100712566962So it seems that Lillard has been ask to go back to training camp as there are no deal made by the Portland management to his desired destination of Miami Heat. This could impact his performance though, and if I'm not mistaken, there are also reports that he might sit out the rest of the season? We will see what's going to happen on Lillard's case here at the start of the NBA next month. I have read some days ago that Lillard even refuses to take part of training camp with the Blazers. That of course also means he doesn't want to start or play the regular season. In my opinion that's really shameful. These players sign contracts and have to be held accountable for that. You can't just refuse to do your job. Next to not getting paid these players should also get extra fines for contract violations I think, otherwise this will never end. Not showing up is damage to the team. Not only do they not have their best player and therefor it's impossible to compete but also they will lose jersey sales. Which fan on Portland thinks about buying Lillard's jersey if they have to assume he is leaving anyway -> missed sales for the franchise.

And if there are losses involved in the decision-making process, at least they can work on minimizing them. I think it will be an obvious violation of his contract if he is healthy but doesn't want to play. If he is not, or have some kind of injuries, so there's no question about it, he can sit. So it will be over like Ben Simmons case in Philly, wherein he doesn't want to play anymore and if I'm not mistaken, he losses millions due to that. But in the end, the Sixers can't do anything but to really let Simmons go and move to Brooklyn Nets.

It could be a violation of a contract, but there are no legal liabilities associated with it. I believe Lillard's camp is not foolish enough to make a decision that would lead to more significant problems in the end. While he may not be paid for the games he played, it's the team that is affected significantly. As mentioned, ticket sales will drop, and the Blazers will have no chance of making it to the playoffs. So it will be over like Ben Simmons case in Philly, wherein he doesn't want to play anymore and if I'm not mistaken, he losses millions due to that. But in the end, the Sixers can't do anything but to really let Simmons go and move to Brooklyn Nets.
It seems like a similar situation, so why would the Blazers wait so long before trading him if it's going to lead to him just sitting out the whole season?

I agree, and the only solution here is to let Dame go and move to Miami his destination team. He wanted to move there so bad that he will risk his reputation and money for sitting this season as what it was reported before. Of course it's never be a personal thing for players and teams, they just want the aim of winning and if it's not working then, the partnership should go. We've seen a lot of franchise player moving on a block buster trade and so it will not have a huge impact to both of them in the long run and still a win-win situation.

Oops, something is interesting that has been reported just now. Dwight is in the meeting with the Golden State Warriors. Maybe he's been heard and this is it for his comeback to the NBA. This wall that has been tweeting funnily from Taiwan seems to be serious now about being acquired by the Dub nation. ( https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-dwight-howard-possible-nba-return) I just saw Shams reporting this as well. I don’t know exactly why Dwight got blackballed from the NBA, but I do have some clues… Anyway, I think he’s still an above average NBA center and I think he would be great on the Warriors. He is what they’re missing. He might serve as a good placeholder while they start getting their offense tuned for Giannis. His attitude? Or maybe he isn't fit for on the league right now because we've seen Centers who are shooting threes as well, and we know that he can't do that. We saw Jokic, Embiid, and other bigs shooting threes, and him? He isn't good at it. Between the 2 reasons that I said, I think the 2nd one is the reason, but if Howard be given a contract with the Warriors? He isn't recommended to shoot threes anymore, and he can just focus on rebounding which is his strength. I still believe that he's a good defender as well at his current age. I will not be surprised if he will be given a contract with the Warriors. A good rebounder, and a good mentor to the rookie big Jackson-Davis. The one problem the Warriors have last season has been solve "IF" he will get a contract.

We will see what's going to happen on Lillard's case here at the start of the NBA next month. If he will not play this upcoming season, the team will be fined based on the new rules. Him not playing for the rest of the season if he will not get traded? We might see another version of Kawhi Leonard when he's in the Spurs. Anyway, since it went out online, there hasn't been any traction on that trade talks, and it has been months since it got hyped. After all, the Blazers aren't rushing to trade him, and maybe the Blazers want either Butler, and Adebayo to be included in the trade package. Anyway, like you I'm also curious on how Dame time will react on this one. Will he still play with the Blazers? Will he sit down, and will not play for the rest of the season (which is impossible)?

We will see what's going to happen on Lillard's case here at the start of the NBA next month. Finally, the rumors will stop about his trade. He didn't win to be traded this season but I bet he will push this harder on the next one. Trail Blazers did not do anything to fill the holes that are needed to give him a championship-caliber team so he won't stop pursuing to be on another team that would best suit his skills. It is reported that Jarred Vanderbilt Agree to 4-Year, $48M with the Los Angeles Lakers, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and agent Erika Ruiz told Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium on Friday that Vanderbilt has agreed to a four-year, $48 million extension with the Lakers. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10089573-lakers-jarred-vanderbilt-agree-to-4-year-48m-contract-ahead-of-2023-nba-seasonI think he is one great addition to the Lakers, he has a good defense, specially in their playoff series against the Warriors, he guarded the smaller Steph Curry and he really made him earn his points. And with this, the Lakers seems to be posed to make a run with their solid lineup already. Very nice. He deserves this contract. He already showed his greatness last season where the Lakers rely on him when it comes to defense and some offense beneath the rim and the paint. Well, he actually already showcased that during his years with the Jazz but he looks better now with a team that is really focused on getting a ring. He is also one of the reasons why they won the play-in tournament and better, headed to the Western Conference Finals so yes, this amount is just perfect for his efforts.

I agree as Looney will still be on the rotation and if ever Howard will be signed by the Warriors, he will have lesser minutes as Warriors can also do an experiment to play small.
Instead of having Looney or Howard, they can go with Green, that if CP3 will be included with their starting 5, Chance to see Splash bros with Green, Wiggins and CP3. Small lineup that will focus with good offense to counter whatever the system of their opponents.
And yet I still believe this will not work out fine. This is a new roster and I think Draymond Green is way over his head. For a lot of times, a team with so many superstars doesn't work out fine. Take the Lakers and the Miami Heat. Both tried the same strategy but ended up badly. But, look at what Dallas Mavericks made. Marion, Dirk, Jason Kidd, Terry, and some roleplayers. Chemistry is at the highest level because they know who is the leader of the team. Now, they are breaking chemistry just because they want a super team. It doesn't work. I am repeating it over and over again.a Yeah, and on the other hand, I read some criticism saying or questioning the Warriors, "Is Dwight Howard the missing pieces for them to win a championship"? My answer will be no, they still need to have a good chemistry inside even if they have the traditional big men in Howard. There are super teams that work and there are super teams that didn't. So it's really hard to compare them, it's really up how this superstars are going to give up their status, like the DWade and Lebron + Bosh in Miami. I think everyone is making too much about d Howard. He was a good piece 10 years ago. He couldn't land in the NBA last year what is going to make a guy with 20 nba years of mileage on him make a difference for this team. It's all about steph and klay. They know what Dwight can do and can't do these days but the fact is, they had a meeting because they have an idea that Dwight might be useful to them. You know, just to man their center and do the rebounding for them because Green will do the rest for the Warriors defense and they got Looney and Wiggins as well. He is not expected to do all the chores because he's not the way we used to know like in the previous years where he can really dominate any team that he was up against. Let's just trust the Warriors because we're already in the point where they know what they are doing.
