Well, we are better THIS YEAR by adding five players instead of just one - Dirk, Dwight and nothing wouldn't have done much... But long term? Yeah, we would have definitely been much, much better if we landed Howard.
And it's not like Ellis is a terrible consolation prize - efficiency aside, Dirk hasn't played with a scorer like him since 03-04 Finley.
Calderon was a smart grab too (although, admittedly, he would've looked a helluva lot smarter next to Dirk/Dwight).
