Nominate: Andrew Bynum

[mkwest]

Vote: Dwight Howard
Nominate: Deron Williams

[-Kees-]

Dwight (dropping to 5 is enough lol)
Rondo (almost as good as Dwill but on a much better contract, not only longer, but very affordable)

[babyjax13]

Dwight
Deron

Deron is better the Westbrook, Rondo or Wall - I don't see why he isn't on there yet.

V: Dwight Howard
N: Rondo

[kdawg32086]

Wade
Melo

Wade
Melo

carmelo is already a nominee.

[HartfordWhalers]

Dwight (dropping to 5 is enough lol)
Rondo (almost as good as Dwill but on a much better contract, not only longer, but very affordable)

If your Minnesota, do you do Love (+filler) for Dwight? I'm thinking no, based on his contract situation.
If your Orlando, do you do Dwight for Love + filler? I'm thinking you tell him to sign an extension, and if he doesn't, you do it.

Vote: Kobe. (Non-basketball reasons alone).
Nominate: Rondo

Deron.

Even if you're only in it for one season, is there any player in the NBA other than Dwight Howard who gives you a better chance to win a ring? Or more specifically, is there any player who has a bigger advantage over the #2 player at his position? Plus, you have the chance of being able to keep him, if he likes your town.

I might, but thats a good point. I mean, Beasely/Williams/Johnson/Rubio is a pretty attractive core, and I live in Minnesota, so if we got Dwight even as a rental we would be happy . I see where you are coming from, but I still think rent-a-Dwight has enough value, and there are also a handful of teams that could keep him anyways.

Vote: Dwight Howard
Nominate: Greg Monroe

[BringBackKorver]

Vote: Love
Nominate: Deron

I'm still not sold on Dwight without an extension. He's only got his true value to a handful of teams, whereas a guy like Love is going to have value to the entire league.

[Mr Swagtastic]

Vote: Dwight Howard easily the best big in the game today yes I said it better then Griffin

Nominate: Deron Williams

[gswhoops]

Dwight
Deron

[DeBlazerRiddem]

Love - very good start to the season, still on a low salary (but better than Westbrook and Wall)

Deron - agree with most other people, why is he not on the nom list yet?

Deron

(I think next time we should ask that people not vote/nominate players from their favorite team in order to get a better picture of actual league value, and hope people oblige)
