We are not D12's perfect fit... Orlando has better shooters than we do... Best bet for Howard is Chicago, staying in Orlando and hoping for a superstar to come his way, or joining with OKC.
What Howard needs. A PF with a great jump shot and good defense is a plus, their post game is mostly irrelevant, they never get to go there, the longer their shooting range the better. Ideal fit - Dirk Nowitzki Rockets - Patterson is as good a young player to fit this role for his price tag as there is. A SF with a good 3 point shot, preferably a great defender since running into star SF's in both Durant and James could well be the road to Rome for the next decade, it already happened this year for the champions and those 2 teams will only get better/more experienced. Ideal fit - Gerald Wallace (Danny Granger) Rockets fit - no one A SG who doesn't need the ball in his hand for extended periods, can shoot 3's well, solid defense is a plus, this role can somewhat interchange with the pg, if great here pg can be a role player and vice versa Ideal fit - 25 yo Kobe (really the league doesn't have any up and coming shooting guards) Rockets fit - Kevin Martin provided the pg is a star A PG that controls the play sort of depends on your SG, good passing lane movement, control of he ball, ideal closer. Ideal fit - Chris Paul Rockets fit - Kyle Lowry, but you need a star wing if you want to win titles.
