His last year (probably even two years) in Orlando and last year in Los Angeles Dwight showed no interest in playing, no interest in winning, and no interest in caring about anyone but himself.
As a Warriors fan I was absolutely disgusted at the thought we might have to deal with this Terrell Owens/Randy Moss clone in the Bay Area. They often say the best moves ever made are the ones never made. The Warriors did not need a selfish, offensively limited big man on the roster. Bogut is every bit as big as Howard, plus he plays absolutely unselfishly and they play about the same amount of games (I am aware Howard appeared in 76 compared to Bogut's 32, but considering Howard rarely put more than 50% effort in those games, it comes out to roughly even).
Now the Lakers big man that I would LOVE to have on the Warriors is Pau Gasol. Talk about an unselfish big man that has a talented offensive game, both in the paint and in the mid-range game. His size and offensive strengths would greatly compliment the duo of Bogut and Lee (and the offensively challenged Ezeli when he returns).
