Dwight Howard at his worse is better than Chandler at his best. Dwight Howard is not some locker room cancer.

You are correct...he's not a locker room cancer. He's an on the court cancer! And a locker room clown. Chandler is the type of leader Howard wish he could be.

You can't compare stats with them. Chandler worth to the team is more than just stats.

I would take Howard if they were making equal money. Otherwise, it's not worth it. Dwight needs a perfect environment built around him. He wouldn't come to NY anyway. Houston, Brooklyn, LA

Here's a good thread to remind the minority what a healthy Tyson brings:
Some comments: "Tyson's a stud...[He] fits in perfectly with a guy like Melo." (SupremeCommander)
"This guy has been a monster... Tyson saved us." (Briggs)

What had Chandler done throughout his career if you take away that 1 year with Dallas?

He helped a defensively inept team in Dallas get over the hump. Great for him.

What did he do for Chicago, New Orleans, or Charlotte?

He was good but not outstanding for those teams. He did not become outstanding until playing in Dallas. If the poll hand been posted 4 or more years ago, I would have picked Dwight. But obviously it was posted 4/29/13.

He wasn't outstanding. He was surrounded by shooters at every position.

He was so good Mark Cuban passed on resigning him.

Chandler was and never will be as good as Howard. Howard has put his team on his back since coming into the league. Plus he took his team to the NBA Finals. Now all of a sudden he is chopped liver.

LOL the D'Antoni effect.

You cant build a team around Chandler. Dwight you put average NBA talent and your winning 50 games a year and going to the 2nd round every year.

Cmon folks. Dwight may be a tool but he comes back healthy he's the best big in the NBA since Shaq

If Dwight is that good, why did the Lakers suck? Thats the best talent Dwight will ever play with in his entire career. If he's that good, the Lakers wouldn't be such a laughing stock. And this was before Kobe's injury. Dwight clearly showed how overrated he is.

To be fair, the Lakers were horribly put together simply thinking on the names. It was kinda like a supersized Isiah Thomas team that has the names but no clear way to be brought together as a team. This should teach people having All-Star teams isn't guarantee for a winning team if they dont have chemistry and a good coach with a gameplan.

Dwight IS overrated as a superstar because he hasn't delivered andhas had more drama than wins, but he is a supremely talented and powerful player who can potentially get his act together and be a huge piece of a championship team.

Please keep in mind that most of the league plays small ball..

I would pay Tyson because Howard does nothing for the team in the locker room, and I just have no patience for players who can't shoot at least 70% from the FT line, or close to it..

+1

And post-herniation Dwight is a ticking time bomb. What will do him in first, the back or the shoulder?
