Bad Move For Howard?

Dwight Howard recently signed on to the Rockets. Is really isn't a big deal. Howard lost his "skills" after he left The Magic. He didn't contribute to much on the Lakers. They didn't even make it to the playoffs last year. That's horrible. I felt bad for Kobe.

But to choose the Rockets? The Rockets suck. (No offense Rockets Fans). But they haven't done anything since they had McGrady, and that was a long time ago. Like I said before, Howard is loosing his "skill" or his game if you prefer. He won't contribute any positive push to the team. If he was on a team with Kobe and didn't get the playoffs, what makes him think being on a team alone will make them get there? All they have besides him is Harden and Lin. Mainly just Harden. 

I think Howard might have an ego problem, except he isn't good enough to have a big ego. I mean, if he was like LeBron, I would understand, but he's not. The only reason he's been an all-star the last few years is because there's not very many outstanding centers in the NBA. 

Good centers besides Howard are like Chandler, Noah, and Duncan. Noah is the only one who hasn't been an all-star who should have been. I'm telling you, the Bulls are going to come back this season. 

Celtics, Better Deal Than Nets?

Recently there was a trade between the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets received Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry and the Celtics received Kris Humphries, Reggie Evans, Gerald Wallace, Tornike Shengelia, Keith Bogans,  and three future first round picks.

Okay, a lot of people are going to say that the Nets got the better deal, they didn't. Okay here's the lineup for the Nets. PG Deron Williams. SG Joe Johnson. SF Paul Pierce. PF Kevin Garnett. C Brook Lopez. Okay at first look it looks like an all-star team. But you have to look at it differently. Half of the team is way past their prime. Garnett is not the same player he was on the Timberwolves nor the player he was when he first joined the Celtics. Pierce has also losing his game. Both are good players still, but the team is no where near a championship.

Garnett is 37, Pierce is 35, Terry is 35, Johnson is 32, Williams is 29, and Lopez isn't even an all-star. His age doesn't matter. Williams may be in his 20s, but he is way overrated. Johnson was better when he was on the Hawks, he hasn't done much since his trade to the Nets. Just like Williams, he was better on the Jazz.

Now lets look at what the Celtics got out of the deal. Humpries, and average forward. Evans, eh a decent player. Wallace, a good player. Shengelia, decent. Bogans, (speaking as a Bulls fan) I was glad the Bulls got rid of him, no offense to him, but he isn't anywhere near an allstar, but still a decent player. Then they got 3 future 1st round draft picks. So when all the old men on the Nets are retiring, they wont have any 1st round picks to replace them. The Celtics will. Plus remember the Celtics still have Rondo, Green, Lee, Bass, and Wilcox.

Maybe for the next season the Nets got a good deal, but in the long run the Celtics got the better deal.
