    The fact that Durant vs Dwight is even debatable is why we should go after Howard even if it means overpaying a little.

    Durant led a team with a lot of supporting talent to the NBA Finals this past year. Howard has taken a team with a lot less supporting talent to the Finals. Neither won. Both are in the Top 5 players in the league and capable of leading a team to the promised land, although Durant has better talent around him right now.

    I understand Dwight's value but I rather have somebody I can count on in the 4th quarter in a close game..Durant is that guy

    durant would have won a title if they had a competent head coach who could actually draw up an actual offensive set.
