I want top get a good reading from your fellow Cav's fans without tarnishing the results.

If we already had good bigs, the choice would be Kobe/Paul/Wade/etc.. And vice versa for a team that has good bigs and bad wings.. so you using this thread really shouldn't help you in the game besides pointing out that Howard is the best big in the game.

Anyways, as I said in the PC board- when you asked about who FIT with Lebron the best-

I don't get why people say Dwight. I understand pairing the best wing with the best big man, but FITWISE, they are not a good pairing. I understand you want a good defensive big man, but KG is a much better outside shooter and complement to Lebron than Dwight is. If you aren't worrying about defense then Dirk and Bosh are much better complements. My feeling is that Dwight is as bad a complement to Lebron on offense as Bosh and Dirk are on defense.


By the way people, those who don't understand why he is asking the question- it has nothing to do with Shaq. It's about GM a Team in the Trades and Transactions Game section. He has Dwight, which is why he said BOTH ends of the floor. (I'm not in the running for Lebron, so above is my honest opinion.)

Well here is how he asked the question,
"If Cleveland could add any player in the league to pair with LeBron for now and down the road who would it be?

Think in terms of longevity and play on both ends of the court."

For now and down the road and in terms of longevity....etc

Garnett is 33 and coming off knee surgery as well as a season where he played in less than 60 games and 0 in the playoffs...etc

Howard is 23 (will turn 24 at end of the year) and isn't coming off knee surgery.

I like Garnett but when your taking everything into account than Howard wins easy as far as down the road and longevity are concerned, age and health both go to Howard and it's not close.

Keep in mind these are only the starting 5 and some of these teams need to add more depth(mine in particular) but that is too much to get into ATM since I don't want to give away my plans to my fellow GMs.

These are the possibilities for LeBron to fit into. Which starting unit would be the best in your opinions on both ends of the floor for both now and down the road. Oh yeah, this is in the 2010 offseason so some players will have more experience under their belts while others will be getting long in the NBA tooth.

CJ Watson/Anthony Morrow/LeBron/Derrick Favors/Dwight

Devin Harris/Eric Gordon/LeBron/Scola/Brook Lopez

Sessions/Wilson Chandler/LeBron/D West/Horford

Foye/Gay/LeBron/Jordan Hill/Big Al

Chalmers/Roy/LeBron/Love/Blatche

Nash/Hedo/LeBron/Jamison/Bonner

Ellis/Brandon Rush/LeBron/Blake Griffin/Javale McGee

Calderon/Harden/LeBron/Villanueva/DeAndre Jordan


and thanks a ton for humoring me, it is much appreciated.
