Dwight Howard Or Derrick Rose? 

Post#1 » by iTs JusT zo » Fri Mar 25, 2011 3:32 pm

Since the MVP race seems to be locked up in Derrick Rose's favor I have one simple question. Who would you rather have on your team? And why?

Dwight pretty damn easily, since that would not only address our biggest need, but also eliminate the guy who inflicts such hurt on us.

Plus, Dwight's just simply better.

Even on Howard's bad days, he dominates the interior defensively. He's the single most valuable player in the NBA.

Scary thought: Dwight Howard hitting his FTs.

I'd rather have Dwight but just going by the weird NBA MVP standards....Rose is probably the MVP this year. The Bulls projected win total(46.5) in Vegas before the season was right in line with the Hawks and Bucks and this was prior to Boozer getting injured. It's the 2006 Suns all over again.

Dwight for the sake of just not having to play against a physical beast, but Rose because he is an explosive guard that can shoot,pass, and get some steals.

Dwight.
If you had Rose then he would dominate offensively, but we'd still get beat up on boards. Rose dominates on offense but he still needs bigs to get him the ball. ATL would still be a small ball team in the end LAL/BOS bigs would beat up on ATL.

Dwight

i think Horford/Dwight would be better than Horford/Rose (it would be like a poor man's Duncan/Robinson, or rich man's Ben/Rasheed Wallace), and i think it would be easier to build around Horford/Dwight, cause they would have enough defense, that you could just put some scorers around them. PF/PG combos do, do well, but have a hard time winning championships, just look at Paul/West, Deron/Boozer, Nash/Amare, Nash/Dirk. so basically, i would much rather have Duncan/Robinson, over Duncan/Parker
