 This video is brought to you by Capbeast.com. Design your own custom snapbacks and hats. Yo what's up guys welcome back to another video on this channel. The NBA season is really dry at this stage. There's not a whole lot going on. There's obviously the Fever World Cup which is really interesting but outside of the Fever World Cup there's really not a whole lot going on. So in this video I want to talk about three things. One is the Dwight Howard situation and my thoughts on him joining the Lakers because I haven't really covered that on this channel yet and I think it's interesting but I just don't want to make a whole separate video on that topic because I really just don't think it deserves its whole video. I think it's just something I want to talk about. The second and third thing I want to talk about are two rumors. I think it's really interesting when we discuss rumors on this channel because they haven't happened yet but they're just rumors but there's always something with rumors that kind of sways us in a certain direction compared to if it was just like a random rumor like Camilo Anthony to the Brooklyn Nets. We're going to talk about obviously Kyrie and Kevin Durant want him which means that it is something that is really possible and the third thing is Andre Gadala to the Los Angeles Clippers with Doc Rivers, the head coach of the Clippers, liking an Instagram post of Andre Gadala in a Clippers jersey. It's a rumor but there's something there so we're going to discuss all three in this video so if you enjoy these videos be sure to subscribe leave a like if you're new and let me know what videos you guys want to see on this channel because it's a really dry time of year with no NBA so I want to know what you guys want to see on this channel and without further ado let's get into it. I want to thank today's sponsor catbeast.com if you want to make your own snapbacks and custom hats be sure to click the link down below in the description box below would you believe me if I told you that Camilo Anthony the last time he played in fact last season with the Houston Rockets he scored 22 points on 52 percent 24 points the game after on 44 percent he did have an off game in between scoring only eight points on 16 percent but what matters to me is the way that you can bounce back from a performance like that he then scored 28 points on 75 percent field goal shooting against the Brooklyn Nets and then finished that off with a 17 point performance the next game only five days later he was waved and never picked up since. Camilo Anthony despite what people say about him is still a scorer and a guy that you could use whether it's off the bench or as a starting player in this league and I truly believe that yeah obviously he did have some poor games last season but so do many other players in this league. Camilo Anthony of course is going to have some bad games just like he had some good games 22 24 and 28 points in a four game stretch last season I mean it shows that he can still perform and now obviously for him not to be on a team is pretty devastating and honestly I think he should be on a team and I do believe it will be the Brooklyn Nets and here's why. First of all before I can get into that we have to understand that there has been a change in the way that people are viewing Camilo Anthony and this has been a league wide perception including fans as well. People seem to hate on mellow based off what the media have said about mellow but if people looked at mellow in a different light maybe he would have been picked up by another team last season and actually played after Houston. His representatives have obviously tried to change the narrative in the way that people view mellow I mean we've seen him go on ESPN we've seen him have talks and interviews and he's obviously come out and tried to get in the media in order to change the way that people view him which I think is working in my opinion I think he's been the scapegoat for a few teams that really didn't live up to their potential. In Oklahoma you had Paul George and Russell Westbrook with Camilo Anthony who are you going to blame Camilo when you have James Harden and Chris Paul and you're starting off the year very slow who are you going to blame Camilo so obviously there's been a lot of people that have just jumped on that bandwagon and I believe he can still play and it's not because of the videos that we've seen online and it's not because of what he's said in the media or what his representatives have said it's simply due to the fact that I saw him play in Houston and I saw him perform on the court but he was always going to be the scapegoat so why should he join the Brooklyn Nets then well number one Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant have both stated that they want him if those are the two biggest stars on a franchise and they're new stars on a franchise that haven't even played a game on that franchise I feel like the franchise should listen to them they are their star players and this does not mean that Mello will go straight into a starting small forward role simply because well he obviously hasn't been in the league for a while and I think we all know this and even Mello knows it himself now that he probably isn't a starting player accepting accepting the role that I might not normally would have accepted in the past I don't mind coming off I've done it I've came out the bitch in Houston 10 days we don't know how that works I don't mind coming off the bench that's never been that's not an issue with me why should somebody believe Carmelo Anthony when he says that because I'm because I'm speaking my truth I never do this I never speak out about this even when he failed to recognize that even just last season I feel like now he knows and he's come out and said it that doesn't mean he can't be a starting player for a few games especially if obviously a guy like Kevin Durant is injured the second thing is he's reportedly been working out with the Brooklyn Nets now the Brooklyn Nets are in search for a small forward it has been said that they're working out Joe Johnson who dominated the big three league Mello and obviously a few other guys that they see fitting to work with the Brooklyn Nets and I feel like if it's Mello or Joe Johnson they may go towards Joe Johnson simply because he really knows his role but if we're going on talent either way you could look at it Joe Johnson is a great player maybe he is in a bit better shape but we don't really know that I guess the Brooklyn Nets will know that before anybody but from what we have seen Mello is in pretty good shape and if you're going to choose a shooter and if we're going off somebody that's recently played in this league well it's Mello because he just played last season the one thing for me is that Mello just has a lot left to give he needs to be on a team that is trying to get him a ring and whether he wants that ring or not it doesn't really matter of this point he just wants to play but the Brooklyn Nets are very interesting if he can perform at some sort of level he may be able to stay on this team and when Kevin Durant comes back he may have that real chance to get a ring next season if he can even get on the team this season and performs at some sort of level the online sports media has definitely tried to paint a fake narrative towards Mello and I just disagree with it completely so that's what I have to say about Mello and I reckon he could be on a Brooklyn Nets jersey next season let's get on to the next topic so Dwight Howard is obviously a member of the Los Angeles Lakers now after the Marcus Cousins got hurt they obviously needed to go after a center I really thought they'd go after a guy like Kenneth Fareed I just thought he would be more of a stretch player in this league today he is undersized and he is in the center but he's a guy that shows hustle rebounding and scoring but if you're looking at a better player than him you would have to say is Dwight Howard I just didn't think they really wanted him in the locker room but it makes sense I said in that video where I talked about Kenneth Fareed and the Marcus Cousins I did say that Dwight Howard was the best player available but I just didn't think they were going to go after him simply due to the fact that he was there six years ago and it didn't really work out what I'm interested to say is how the Lakers fans react to Dwight Howard will they boo him will they accept him what's gonna happen because he isn't the Dwight Howard that was there six years ago in fact the Dwight that was there six years ago was still a very very good player but he obviously isn't the Dwight Howard from Houston or Orlando this is an older version of Dwight Howard that has basically been out of the league for the same time as Mello was last season Dwight Howard was a beaten man last season he had back surgery and obviously he just wasn't himself playing in Washington but when he did play he was actually a very sole player he just didn't have the explosiveness and the athleticism but he has shown in recent footage if you look up Dwight Howard recently he looks like he's got some of that back so what does it mean for the Lakers now if you have guys like Rajan Rondo and LeBron James as your facilitators on a team with Dwight Howard I believe that no matter what they will feed him the ball they've got Davis of course but Davis has stated that he does not want to play center whatsoever you're not going to want to have Javail McGee as your starting center for the entirety of this season he's obviously going to need a break and a guy that can fill in for 10 15 20 minutes per game is Dwight Howard he can rebound he can score he's a guy that blocks shots at the peak of his power he was unstoppable and the best big man in the game if he can just tap into a little bit of what he was in his past playing days then he's going to be a great player for the Lakers no doubt not the Dwight Howard we once saw but a great player for the team not to mention he has a zero dollar salary protection which means that every day that Dwight Howard is on the Lakers he will earn just under 15 000 for every day he is on the roster but that roster position will start on October the 21st if they wave him then he doesn't get paid out whatsoever so it's a win win in my opinion for the Lakers but either way his contract is 2.5 million which is obviously a very small amount for a guy that was once one of the highest players in the league which means that he's obviously there to win and not mess around otherwise he will be out of the league next season and if he actually plays well he may stay around for a little bit longer and win a championship which is what he wants so I don't think it's a loss for the Lakers at all lastly I want to talk about Andre Gadala to the Los Angeles Clippers obviously I told you about head coach Doc Rivers liking a post on Instagram claiming that Iggy will join the franchise if this is true and Iggy gets waved by the Grizzlies and actually does join the Los Angeles Clippers this is going to be very exciting to watch we know that Iggy is obviously one of the best defenders that the league has ever seen and yes ever but he's also reaching the end of his career obviously he's not going to play the minutes he once played and he's not going to be the player he once was but he's probably going to have a similar impact to the way he played last season with the Warriors he came off the bench and he didn't really have a big impact he only scored 5.7 points had 3.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game last season with the Warriors he did shoot 50% and shot 33% from beyond the arc but what Iggy brings to the Clippers team is it allows a guy like Kawai Leonard to rest a little bit more Paul George can rest a little bit more as well if they're both suffering with injuries throughout the season obviously we know that Kawai had a lot of rest days last season and Paul George is coming off a shoulder injury which means a guy like Iggy could be a good replacement for a few games here and there until the playoff start in which he will be a very very handy player I mean we already know about the Clippers defense you've got Kawai, Paul George, Patrick Beverly, Montrez Harrell and if you adding a guy like Iggy to that well it's going to be very very fun to watch and it's going to be interesting to see how they manage all these players together so with that being said I hope you guys enjoyed the video let me know what you think about any of them
