Not at all. That team is going to be extremely dysfunctional going forward.
Gortat has been known as a reasonable man and not much of an instigator, yet even he threw legit shade at John Wall. Even Beal did subtly while they were winning and Wall was out.
Then of course, you got Punk Oubre and the others on that team, and you add Howard to that?
LOL.
They'll be a playoff team but I don't view them as a threat anymore to be honest.
Literally my thoughts exactly.
The Wizards should trade Porter for a great young prospect, and to save cap space, their ability to upgrade the roster with limited assets/draft picks is going to hurt them when another great player/free agent is on the market. But I like Oubre. I think he's going to be a special player, plus he has that spunkiness that I like. Him and Tatum are very good friends, and they constantly battle in the off-season working out together with Hanlen. So if Wizards want to get rid of that 'punk,' Oubre, I will gladly take him!
Watch them self-destruct and the Lakers pick up Howard for peanuts at the deadline, LOL .
He didn't have a good exit from there the last time. So LA will have open arms to take him back? And how does he feel about going back there? I doubt that happens.
I'm not saying that it makes sense, like at all, lol
, from a PR perspective, but strictly in terms of basketball, Howard would make them extremely dangerous against the Warriors, imo. Plus, I'm sure that Lebron will have significant input insofar as personnel decisions are concerned, so if the Wizards become a veritable powder keg, if they aren't, already
, and he signs off on Dwight, yeah, I can see Magic trading for Howard or acquiring him for next-to-nothing and the latter could actually, however improbably, rehabilitate his image in the process. Who knows?
Plus, he was interested in playing with Lebron, anyway, if recent reports are to be believed, so there's that, I guess.

I can imagine the conversation ending up like this.
"Howard... Don't you want to join forces? I need you. Magic needs you. The City of Los Angeles needs you! Not to mention Chris Bosh is trying to make a comeback, and I'm trying to find whatever excuse I got in the toolbox to avoid that confrontation otherwise..."
"Nah man, they didn't like me no more! MY M-M-MOMMA SAID LA IS THE DEVIL!"
"Dwight... How long have we known each other? Don't you trust me?"
"Man of course I do!"
"Look, Kobe is gone. I'm here now. I'm the King. The Chosen One. You can be the Prince, the heir to my throne."
"Man whatchu trying to say? That I'm a step below you? That I don't deserve to be on the same wave length? MAN THAT IS MESSED UP, YOU SOUND JUST LIKE KOBE!"
"I'll put you in Space Jam 2, so you can finally afford to feed all of your baby mommas."
"..... Say less."
