By my estimation, there are nearly 50 PF's who who are more effective than anyone in our group, and who would have more value to other teams in trades. Al Jefferson Kurt Thomas Mike Sweetney Donyell Marshall Chris Bosh Tyson Chandler Antonio Davis Drew Gooden Rasheed Wallace Antonio MyDyess Jermaine O’Neal Joe Smith Antoine Walker Emeka Okafor Melvin Ely Udonis Haslem Dwight Howard Antawn Jamison Kwame Brown Etan Thomas Dirk Nowitzki Pau Gasol Stromile Swift PJ Brown David West Tim Duncan Malik Rose Kenyon Martin Nene Kevin Garnett Eddie Griffin Sharif Adbur-Rahim Zach Randolph Reggie Evans Nick Collison Danny Fortson Carlos Boozer Troy Murphy Cliff Robinson Elton Brand Chris Wilcox Brian Grant Lamar Odom Amare Stoudamire Raef LaFrentz (despite his huge untradeable contract) Chris Webber (despite his huge untradeable contract) Of this group, I didn't include players who play some at PF but whose primary position is elsewhere (like Eric Williams or Shawn Marion), and I didn't include rookie/scrubs whose trade value is probably higher than Mo, Juwon, or Weatherspoon due to their contract, even though they never get off the bench (Derrick Coleman, Christian Laettner, Kendrick Perkins etc.). It is safe to assume that all 46 of the above players would start in front of Mo, Juwon, or Weatherspoon if they were on the Rocket roster. Thus, virtually every team in the league's back-up PF is better than our starter, and, moreover, we wouldn't have the assets tp trade for their back-up, even if they didn't want them. The only PF's in the entire league who may have worse contracts than either of our two main PF's are Brian Cardinal, Jerome Williams, and Kenny Thomas, and it is arguable that any of them would be preferable to either of ours.
you could have saved yourself a ton of time by simply just listing the "PFs that are LESS valuable or tradeable" than our current group...
Howard and MoT are better scorers than many on that list. If its rebounding and defense you are comparing then you might have something. Mo and Howard could easily fit on many teams who use a scoring set when needed. However, I sooo disagree that all those players are more valuable than our PF's.
what's the point of posting something we already know?? lol......seriosly, who doesn't have a better PF than T-Spoon, JHow, and MoT on thier team??
hahah good list for your first post ever! true you wonder where all these PF's are? there are only so many teams in the league and we get stuck with MoT/JHoward/Spoon. J
