With Marion you can slow down "their best guy"...paint or perimeter, does not matter.
With Dwight you can protect the paint only. Dwight can't slow down Kobe, Allen or Durant come playoff time.

This aspect makes his defense overrated.

our "big zone" defense was money.
and
Marion was money
Stevenson was money
Kidd was money
(and Chandler too, of course)

To make it short
Yes, Dwight Howard would be an amazing addition (Dwight+Dirk
)
Yes, Dwight is better than Marion, Chandler or whatever
NO, Dwight is not the 2nd best player in this league.
NO, Dwight is not on Dirk's level until he proves me wrong.
That's all i am trying to say.
