This is something I would expect in a fantasy league. How did this dope make so much money?

No supposedly is going to happen not a rumor anymore. It isnt a good trade but better than nothing or Bynum.

I feel like NJ is kinda not relevant. It seems like Deron Williams really does not want to be there anyway. Without another superstar he will be gone 2.

He has Center skills. He has a nice jump hook and last year deveoped the Tim Duncan backboard shot. If he continues to improve from the line he will be even better. He gets every rebound he is close to and is a superior defender. Not sure what more you want? Bring the ball up the court? Shoot 3's?

Ewing had a mid range game and so did Hakeem. They were deadly. They have low post games. Im actually really surprised your a Howard guy. He would be one of the best with more real skills.

He is by far the best center in the NBA right now. Not even close. Please dont tell me about guys you saw when you were 7. Howard is getting better every year. Dont forget he is 26 years old and probably hasnt peaked.

I remember them well enough, I really do. Im not saying he is not the best center right now. No doubt about it, but come on man... Thats not saying much. There is really no one else at all. Ill tell you this. If Oden can somehow stay healthy long term, and I know thats a huge if... But if he can he will be the man. The guy I saw vs Florida in the National Championship game was an absolute superstar. Back to Howard of course he can improve and when he starts having some moves he will be unstopable. As of now though he just looks uncomfortable anywhere on the court thats not right at the basket on the offensive end.
