I wouldn't trade Dirk for Chris Bosh either, doesn't work out. How hasn't Dwight Howard panned out? You said that like he was a bust, did you expect more for him than the 12/10/1.6/52% he gave as a rookie? Or the 17/10/2/54% he had his final month? I think you are hung up on him not getting shots, he only shot 8 times a game. But as he shot more, his points went up. He shot 9.4 times a game in March, 13.9 ppg. He shot 11.8 times a game in April, 16.7 ppg.

You speak of him like he is some bust when in reality he was outstanding as a rookie. I don't agree with you at all abotu 30/30 GMs trade Dwight for Dirk. Two years ago people would have thought it was crazy to trade Nowitzki for Amare (ignoring salaries) and now you have a situation where that would be a very split decision around the league. Now you have Dwight, who was better than Amare as a rookie and is better right now as a defender (tho Amare is that much better offensively), and people think it is crazy to see him as a 24/12 guy in two years.

Do I want to trade Dirk? Ofcourse not. If we were forced to trade him I wouldn't want lesser talent like Chris Bosh back just like you wouldn't. Only place we disagree is when I say that Dwight would be on that short list of guys I would want for Dirk if it came to that whereas, to you, Dwight hasn't panned out. That is the only difference.
