[–]Lakers 22LOVESBALL 45 points 5 hours ago

People always say this, but it doesn't make sense to me. This happens all the time. Ten years from now, there will be players who are superstars right now that will eventually team up because someone declined. It always happens, like super often.

湖人球迷：你们总喜欢说这些，可是我觉得真没啥啊。这种以前的巨星日后联手的事很常见啊。你十年后再回头看，现在的超巨们最后肯定有走到一起的，因为有些人会下滑的。这种事很常见的，见怪不怪了。

To be fair, when you grow up with these players battling each other for years in their prime (Orlando knocking out Cleveland), it's always so whimsical to imagine.

Dwight should be starting right?

快船球迷：霍华德会为湖人打首发吗？

[–]Warriors idontknowthisabackup 8 points 5 hours ago

I mean AD should start at center in a perfect world but he doesn't want to play there so yeah probably Dwight is gonna start

勇士球迷：我觉得最理想的是让戴维斯打中锋，可是他不喜欢那种安排，所以或许霍华德会打首发。

[–]Mavericks glansberg_stephen 340 points 6 hours ago

100%. Now that he's playing for a team with actual title aspirations it will be interesting to see if he finally gives a shit on defense again

独行侠球迷：绝对会打首发。湖人现在充满了冠军斗志，咱们看看霍华德还能不能把防守当回事，这还是蛮有意思的。

[–]Knicks theonlyoptionistopoo 39 points 6 hours ago

All he has to do is show effort and play hard. I’m gonna be so disappointed if this doesn’t work out. Please Dwight this is your chance at redemption

尼克斯球迷：他只需要卖力打就好。要是他这次和湖人的合作不奏效的话，那我会非常失望的。拜托了，霍华德，这是你完成救赎的机会啊。

[–]Wizards acosmichippo 8 points 5 hours ago

i don’t doubt his heart is in it. It’s just the injuries that worry me.

奇才球迷：他的斗志我倒不会怀疑，我担心的是伤病。

[–]Lakers John_Winchester 242 points 6 hours ago

LeBron is the ultimate "make the players around you better" player. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a little resurgence in Dwight.

湖人球迷：詹姆斯可是那种终极的“让队友更强”的球员啊。要是霍华德有那么一点复苏迹象，那我也不会奇怪。

[–][OKC] Jerami Grant longjohntanner 115 points 5 hours ago

Yeah I’ve been wanting Dwight with Lebron for years.

雷霆球迷：是啊，我一直都想看到霍华德和詹姆斯搭档。

[–]Lakers John_Winchester 105 points 5 hours ago

Yep. We just need him to be motivated. If he shows up knowing this could be his last good chance at a chip, it would be amazing.

What a timeline it would be if Dwight Howard was the missing piece in another banner, in 2019, alongside LeBron, for the LA Lakers. hahah3

湖人球迷：是的，我湖只用调动霍华德的积极性就行。如果他在场上能明白这也许是自己争冠的最后一次好机会，那就太棒了。

要是最后发现，我湖新赛季冲冠刚好缺失的那块拼图就是霍华德的话，那这个时间线可就太美妙了。哈哈哈哈

[–]RedComet0093 22 points 5 hours ago

He shouldn't show up caring about a chip. He should show up knowing this is his last chance to avoid getting Melo'd and become unable to make those 50 alimony payments.

他在场上不应该去想着冠军，而是要明白，这是自己避免“瓜化”的最后一次机会，不然以后连孩子的抚养费都付不起。

[–]Murky Willow 26 points 5 hours ago

LeBron makes shooters around him better. And pure rim running bigs.

He has never been a natural fit with low post guys. All the ill-fitting vets placed around him last two years have not worked out - Rondo, Rose, Wade, Beasley, Stephenson. Mostly those guys have made LeBron worse.

IDK, there were not many better options than Dwight, but I don't think counting on LeBron to make him good really is the answer - his interior defense isn't even anything like it was before.

詹姆斯可以让身边的射手群变强，还有那种纯冲框的大个子。

他还从来就不大和那种低位背打型的内线来电。最近几年那些与他合作的老将最后都没啥效果，隆多、罗斯、韦德、比斯利和史蒂芬森。他们大多数反倒限制了詹姆斯的发挥。

不过也不好说，毕竟市面上比霍华德更好的选择不多，但是我不觉得指望詹姆斯让霍华德复苏真的可行，他的内线防守可比以前差远了。

[–]Trailblazin15 46 points 6 hours ago

I think he should come off the bench and feast bench bigs. McGee was solid as a starter

我觉得霍华德应该打替补，欺负对手的替补内线。麦基打首发还是蛮稳的。

[–]Lakers ianban[ ] 118 points 5 hours ago

I’m really not sure he’ll start over JaVale for several reasons. First being that Dwight could be equally useful as a starter vs on the bench squad, whereas JaVale would play much better as a starter because LeBron and JaVale have great chemistry. LeBron’s BBIQ makes up for McGee’s. I also think from the standpoint of just having been with the organization for a year already, and being hungry to continue to prove himself after a career year at 30, JaVale makes more sense as a starter.

Dwight is also a much better rebounder than JaVale, which makes more sense off the bench. LeBron and AD will likely grab the vast majority of the rebounds in the starting squad.

湖人球迷：我真的不确定霍华德能抢了麦基的首发位置，原因有好几点。首先，霍华德打首发和替补的作用是相同的，可是麦基要是打首发的话表现会好很多，因为他和老詹的化学反应很强。老詹的球商可以为麦基补漏。再说了，麦基已经在湖人待了一个赛季了，而且即便他在30岁那年的表现是生涯亮点，他依然有证明自己的渴求，让他打首发更合理。

霍华德的篮板比麦基强很多，让他打替补就更说得过去。在首发阵容里，大部分篮板很可能由老詹和戴维斯承包。

[–]Wizards acosmichippo 32 points 5 hours ago

Also Dwight should be on heavy minutes restrictions most of the year.

奇才球迷：而且赛季的大多数时间里，霍华德的出场时间将会受到严格的控制。

but for others, they just really need a fuckin center,

快船球迷：对于有些湖蜜来说，他们没法原谅霍华德之前在洛杉矶的烂事儿。

不过对于其他湖蜜来说呢，他们确实只是需要一个特么的中锋而已。

[–]Warriors takeapieandrun 18 points 5 hours ago

He didn't even shit the bed. He played through nerve problems in his back and led the league in rebounding.

勇士球迷：霍华德之前在湖人也没啥吧。他那会儿是带着背伤在打的，而且篮板也是领跑全联盟。

[–]Lakers yuhanz 10 points 4 hours ago

Right?? I feel like so many people are still misinformed. It baffles me to this day.

Dude showed up even against the Spurs despite being injured. Even in his time with the Rockets, he was still injured and he also played decently there.

湖人球迷：是吗？？我觉得很多人还是搞不清状况啊，这一点让我至今都不解。

他还带着背伤打马刺呢，即便是在火箭的时候，他也有伤啊，可他还是打得蛮好啊。

[–]Lakers TheFidelis 66 points 6 hours ago

I hated Dwight when he left. But let's be real, he's the best available option right now. Laker fans who'll complain are just here for the drama. Sorry about them. Can't we see how this season goes first?

湖人球迷：霍华德走的时候我是很烦他的。不过咱也得实事求是啊，他是现在市面上的最佳选择。对于那些因为当年的过节而心存抱怨的湖蜜，对不住了。咱们就不能先看看新赛季打得怎样嘛？

[–][LAL] Nick Young TheChipiboy 17 points 5 hours ago

My friend called me to ask how I feel, but I told him I was indifferent about the whole thing.

Yeah we are in desperate need of a center that can rebound and block shots other than Javale, but Dwight still a bitch.

湖人球迷：我朋友问我对霍华德的回归怎么看，我说我无所谓。

没错，除了麦基，我们确实还极度需要一个能护框的中锋，可是霍华德还是个贱货。

[–]Knicks fakeKidMed 35 points 6 hours ago

PLEASE SIGN MELO NEXT THANKS

In all seriousness, this is a pretty solid pickup for LA. Dwight obviously out of his prime but still contributes as a rebounder and as an inside presence. playing with Lebron, he might actually buy into playing in the PnR.

尼克斯球迷：拜托湖人，接下来把甜瓜签了吧，谢谢了！！！

认真说啊，签回霍华德对湖人来说还是很划算的。他确实远离巅峰了，不过还是有篮板能力的，而且在内线仍然有存在感。和老詹一起打球，他或许真的能认同挡拆的安排。

[–][LAL] Rick Fox Dupragon 22 points 5 hours ago

He didn't buy in playing with Nash. Doubt it changes, i just hope he plays halfway decent defense, gets easy oops and gets boards.

湖人球迷：当年和纳什一起时，他就没认同这种安排。他会不会改变态度，我是怀疑的，就希望他还能有原来一半的防守吧，吃点简单的饼，抢点板。
