Assuming that all teams' rosters were cleared and there was a draft with the Jazz having the seventh pick, who would you guys pick? The following players would be unavailable.

Chicago: Rose
Portland: James
Cleveland: Howard
Dallas: Durant
Miami: Griffin
New York: Wall
Utah: ?

New York would not take John Wall.

But yeah, Dwyane.

I would rather have Dirk then Wade but Wade is four years younger then Dirk.

So Wade for the long run.

Is this for a season? Or moving forward as a franchise? Because of this is to build an entire franchise around, I think you go with the younger guys, meaning that Wade wouldn't be a consideration. He's turning 30 this year and you have to expect that he will likely not age well. I'd be surprised if he's even All Star caliber in 3 years, to be quite honest. I think with him, when it goes its going to go fast.

Likewise, DIrk plays a game that will (and already has) age well, but he's already very old. You can't take him. I think it would come down to a question of Deron, CP, Melo, and Westbrook. Of all those guys, I think Deron is probably the best piece to build around. I'd go with him.

If its just for this season, though, then Wade is a no brainer.

If it's just for this season, Dirk just beat Wade. Handily. With much less help.
