u Gasol, Chris Bosh, LaMarcus Aldridge

are we to assume all these players are now past their prime and on the decline?

 

One of my favorite Dirk playoffs statlines:

33.3 pts, 15.7 rbs, 3 stls, 1.3 blks, .685 TS

in a playoff series vs.

Spoiler

Kevin Garnett

(Garnett had solid series as well, almost 24-19, but low efficiency and it was a sweep)

 

Depends. What does the original post say?

 

Duncan and KG were also recognized by the people. Pau Gasol wasn't an Allstar starter if I recall correctly.

Let's see:

Duncan
14x Allstar and 2x MVP

Garnett
15x Allstar and MVP

Gasol
4x Allstar

The above two are in the league of their own. Dirk was an MVP and was a first banana in their championship run so I put Dirk ahead.

Gasol's playoff failure with Memphis hurts him tremendously.

 

Fair enough. So it depends now on their careers. Bosh is 4 years younger and has a brighter future with the Heat for now.

Gasol is 33 and not getting any better.

 

Bosh
Gasol
LMA

Really like all 3. Gasol and LMA can both play center with their size,but I think bosh is very underrated to me. If it were just he and lbj or if wade took a more passive role which he should,bosh would get his due as a player. He's made the most sacrifice of the 3 in miami. He's not running back to spoes like wade continues to do.

 

This. He is a special player with a great skill set and I would have liked to see him have a bigger, more suitable role.

 

If we're ranking all the modern era PFs (in primes):

Duncan
KG
Dirk
Webber
Pau
Amar'e
Aldrige

I put Pau over Amar'e because I think the latter's stats are a bit inflated from his Suns days. And, Pau had a more well-rounded game, even if Amar'e was more athletic and a better scorer.

 

Morey Value
1. aldirdge
2. Gasol (19 mill 1 year rental)
3. Bosh Spice

 

1. Bosh
2. Pau
3. LMA

All 3 are great-superstar players at their prime. Bosh's season before he left for Miami was amazing. I

 

Gasol is very underrated.

 

i know. i know!

Paul

Bosh

Aldridge!!!

 

LMA is the one that does not seem like the others in this comparison. This is a guy who will want the max and he's not worth it. He can't rebound and the other guys score more efficiently.
