    He can't even shoot free throw, jumper, fadeaway, post up.

    All he does is dunk, block, and rebound...

    He set a baseline that his next contract had to average more than his last season as a Rockets. Hawks ponied up.

    That is what a big man should do. Very invaluable.

    because the Hawks thought they could get horford at a discount and have both, so they caved and gave Dwight what he wanted...didn't work out.

    Similar to how Kobe got so much money, reputation of course. And still being an elite rebounding force despite weaknessss in his game. Unless the whole league played hardball, he wasn't going to get a $16mil/yr deal lower than the Ryan Anderson's, was getting just about what he got. All you need is 2 of 30 teams to do it.
