Recently, according to Warriors reporter Jason Dumas, sources revealed that free agent Dwight Howard will arrive in the Bay Area on Monday. He will have a trial on Tuesday and Wednesday. He will also meet with Cole and Deng Liwei. Cole is most interested in Howard’s mentality, his acceptance of the role, and his desire to become a quality veteran of young players. These meetings will be very important. In addition, Dumas was also told that Tony Bradley was also considered by the Warriors for this position. But Howard is still their first choice for reinforcement, provided that Howard is willing to accept any position given to him by the team.
It is reported that the Warriors are currently frantically reinforcing for the start of the new season. Shams mentioned in the video that the Warriors are considering veteran inside players such as Tony Bradley, Fevos and Dademont. According to previous news, Howard will try out for the Warriors, who have always wanted to sign a veteran big man substitute. Now it seems that after the Lakers got the insider Wood, the Warriors also completely panicked. They must have proper reinforcement in the insider to deal with all kinds of situations that may happen next season.
It is reported that if Howard is willing to accept the replacement position provided by the Warriors, they are willing to send him a one-year basic salary contract of 2.6 million US dollars, and the latter may also end his last career in the Warriors.
Howard is 6 feet 11 inches tall and is a very powerful inside player. In the NBA, having a strong insider can usually give the team an advantage on both offensive and defensive ends. On the offensive end, he can play singles in the low post, or use his bouncing ability to grab a second attack inside. On the defensive end, he can control the rebound and use his height and strength to block the opponent’s inside attack.
Howard is famous for his excellent rebounding and blocking ability. His rebounding ability can give warriors more offensive opportunities in the game, and his blocking ability can also directly interfere with opponents’ shooting and reduce opponents’ scoring opportunities. In addition, his speed and lateral movement ability enable him to help defend against the interference of outside players’ passing and shooting. This kind of assistance can disrupt the opponent’s offensive rhythm and make the Warriors’ defense more effective.
For the Warriors, the arrival of Howard can increase the strength of the team inside and improve the overall competitiveness of the team. At the same time, the Warriors can also use Howard’s rich experience to train young players and make the team’s strength more balanced. In addition, Howard’s arrival can also improve the box office and TV ratings of the Warriors, because fans are full of interest in him.
However, although Howard has many advantages, his joining may also bring some challenges. For example, his contract may have an impact on the salary space of the Warriors, and his cooperation with the core players of the Warriors may take time to run in. As a former Lakers insider and a former insider overlord, he scored 45 points and 30 rebounds in a single game, which is very scary.
If the Warriors finally reach an agreement with Howard, then for the Warriors, the inside line will no longer be their weakness. Their centers are Rooney+Saric and recently signed Garruba. With the addition of Howard of Warcraft, the inside line depth of the Warriors will directly become one of the strongest in the league, and with the star players on the outside line, the Warriors’ hope of revenge next season will be greatly increased!
