Monta is way too low on your list. He should be top 10, but Dunleavy ahead of him? WTF???
And SJax needs to be on your list.

Interesting and a bit daring. I don't fully agree with it but it isn't too bad.

Roy should be ahead of RIP and LA should definitely be ahead of Randolph. Also, Oden should be ahead of big Al next season.

so you think oden will average 22/11 next season after coming off a microfracture surgery? I know his D will be better but come on... not as a rookie

Ok I have to make a small point. Ask every GM who would they rather have at SG Mike Dunleavy or Kevin Durant?
I know Durant didn't shoot a high percentage at the beginning of the year but by the end of the year he ended up shooting a better percentage than both LeBron and Melo their rookie years.
So you can have Dunleavy but I'll take Durant.

You can make a point for Monta, but I just don't feel he's as good as people claim... Who exactly should SJax be ahead of??

You can switch Roy, RIP and JJ around depending on preference... LA is right at #16 if the list continued... lol no he won't... Oden will have to come up with 12-12-2 to even crack the top 10 IMO...

It's more of who would you take today for just one season based off of this year's performances... Of course I'd take Durant over Dunleavy as a GM, but right now I'd take Dunleavy for just one season...
Dunleavy has really been underrated on these board after putting up some very solid numbers... it seems like people are hating on him just because of his past, but the guy came through this year with a solid season...

Right now Aldridge is a better PF than Randolph, O'Neal, Okafor (C) and maybe Rashard Lewis because he is really a SF

the original poster said when healthy, and when healthy O'Neil would give you at least 17 points and 10 rebounds with much better defense then Bosh. West O'Neal and Bosh are all extremely similar but I think both West and O'Neal are much better defenders than Bosh, I dont know why its so funny.

Let me guess Steve Blake and Jarret Jack make for one of the top point guard combos in the league, Martell Webster has one of the best jump shots in the game and Travis Outlaw is the most improved player in the league and is going to be like Gerald Wallace. Joel Pryzbilla is a starter on almost every team and next year will come off the bench behind Oden to be the best backup Center in the league and Channing Frye can average 20 and 8 if given starters minutes. Do this guy honestly believe some of the stuff hes saying or does he just not watch any other team but the Blazers and therefore every player not on the Blazers are inferior?

Bosh will give you 23 and 10 while also getting the other big man in foul trouble. That's why it's so funny...

Disgusting post.
Your homerism forces me to ignore you.

Somebody asked me why SJax belongs here. Well, first of all, his lockdown D alone makes him worthy of this list, or being top 10. Of all listed, he's quite easily the best defender. Also, he's a key player on a very good west team that barely missed the POs, which IMO is better than putting up stats in the weak East.
