Does Rob Will get flipped for a proven all star big man or do we build around him, Brown and Tatum for the future?

...anybody else hear Brendan Haywood on Sirius XM today sayin that Dwight was basically "not wanted" anymore by his TEAMMATES in Charlotte who, quote "had grown tired of his act"?
Like, cats REALLY don't like this dude, EVERYWHERE he goes.
Is that a concern at all for y'all?

If he comes at a reasonable price and can gives us boards (esp. offensive rebounds) and some blocks, he'd be welcome with open arms. We don't need 20/20 Superman. Even 12 and 10 would do. We need a post presence and rim protector BAD.
But given who we drafted, this could be a moot point.

The music almost made my ears bleed, but I'm glad I saw the highlights, he looks legit

Celtics brehs, if it came down to it, would you trade away Al Horford for Dwight Howard?

The only downside to his game is his FT%. Outside of that, he could be the answer to our prayers
Dude shot 43% from the charity stripe

Yeah the freethrows would be a problem, dude literally has no form on his jumpshot
But yeah dude is a great rebounder, still an effective post scorer, still a pretty good defender. Plus dude would be like 4th in command when it comes to leader of the team, no pressure for him

Pro
Kings: Sacramento opted not to draft Euro wunderkind Luka Doncic and instead picked Marvin Bagley Jr. at #2 along with his Duke teammate Gary Trent Jr. in the second round. Sacramento already has De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield in their starting back court. Veteran Garrett Temple still has an $8M player option due on June 29th that the 32-year-old will most likely pick up.
Fit: Signing Smart would be a tone setter for the Kings just like they attempted to do last summer by adding vets George Hill, Vince Carter, and Zach Randolph.
Pacers: Indiana is an interesting destination for Smart. They have a $10M non-guaranteed year left on Darren Collison’s deal, and they drafted another former Bruin, UCLA’s Aaron Holiday, with the 21st pick of the draft to team up with Victor Oladipo. They still also have the final season of Cory Joseph’s two-year, $15.5M deal.
Fit: The Pacers made a surprising run last year and are looking for young pieces to complement their emerging core. Smart makes a lot of sense, but they could be looking to bolster their front court more with Thaddeus Young considering free agency rather than picking up his player option and Myles Turner’s rookie extension on the horizon.
Mavericks: After trading up to draft Doncic, they added NCAA Player of the Year Jalen Brunson. They already have the electric Dennis Smith Jr. in the fold and don’t necessarily need another ball handler. Before the draft, the Mavericks were rumored to be interested in signing the Dallas native, but their draft moves suggest otherwise.
Fit: Like Indiana, Dallas’ priority could be focused in the front court. Dirk Nowitzki is entering his 20th season at age 40, and the Mavs have been linked to Julius Randle and DeAndre Jordan to bolster their bigs.
Nuggets: Denver is intriguing. They invested in the long-term potential of Michael Porter Jr. in the draft and will be looking to make their first playoff run after a five-year absence. But with Wilson Chandler picking up his player option, Will Barton’s future up in the air, and Nikola Jokic’s own restricted free agency on the agenda, there may not be room for another $10M+ long term deal on the Nuggets’ books.
Fit: The Nuggets already have a lockdown perimeter defender in Gary Harris and will use every penny to retain Jokic and maybe Barton. Their spending spree may not happen until next season when Chandler, Kenneth Faried, and Darrell Arthur are off the books.
