    If Asik and Howard can put up 21/40 every game I think we will be ok.

    15/20 Dwight. The biggest difference he made today was denying them second chance looks.

    15/20.
    You need to get D12 involved in the offense better. 20/15 means he got too few touches.

    Dwight Howard is on our team. Just take what you get and be happy with it.

    I would guess most fans would prefer 15/20, but I suspect over the long run, Howard would be happier with 20/15 (just a wild guess).

    20/15 for two reasons.

    One, from a pure aesthetic standpoint it just looks off when a player has a statline where the biggest number isn't the first one(aka points column). Two, bigs want their points and will play better defense because of it. This isn't a Dwight thing. Every big man wants to be fed. And there's no one you want to feed more than the best defender/rebounder in the NBA.

    5 Reb > 5 Points.

    15/20 easily. We have plenty of guys who can score on this team. Although if Dwight ever learned to shoot free throws, he could be a 20/20 guy.

    15/20 all day, every day. I'd really rather have 15/15/5 with 5 being blocks. Yay defense!

    If Howard is 10 points, 25 rebounds, 5 blocks every night plus Asik is 10 points, 15 rebounds every night then you can expect a ring at the end of the season.

    We've got enough scorers in Harden, Lin, Parsons, Garcia who can put 15+ points every night.

    Not necessarily. Especially since Dwight's scoring efficiency is incredible. And if he's going to play alongside Asik so much, a lot of those rebounds would go to Asik anyway.

    Either way I'm sure there would be almost no impact on team wins whether Dwight ends the season at 20/15 or 15/20.

    I was definitely worried about him wanting more post ups every game thereby slowing down our offense but thankfully he seemed to genuinely love defending and rebounding. I loved that. For me 15/20 would be better of the two.

    of course, 15/20. I said again he can't be the focal point of offense until he could develop mid range or he could reach shaq's size.

    15/20 and Asik goes 10/10, together with our shooters, BAM!

    If Howard never scores, but rebounds, defends, and blocks like his DPOY days, his max contract is 100% worth it. We don't need offense, we have offense. We need second chance opportunities and a presence in the paint. Asik was great at that, having two is amazing.

    So you would rather have Omer Asik? Because we have that as our PF/Backup Center.

    I would rather have Dwight with 10pts/5 assist/20 Reb/3 Block Shot. I would love to have him as low post facilitator/finisher/rim protector, but not scoring...
