You'd think this would be a bigger deal. I believe Dallas is in position to make a run at both of them.Clips are poised to make a strong push this season. Don't see CP3 leaving to play with Howard. He already has a stronger supporting cast then Howard and Dirk.I really strongly disagree. Dirk is a better leader and scorer than anyone on the Clips, Dwight is a better defender and rebounder than anyone on the clips. I guess you could argue Blake is better than Dirk, but Dirk has something Blake doesn't, and that's the ability to score at will, from anywhere. Dwight is already better than Blake. Dirk will be 35 before next season starts. I don't think he has too many "score at will" years left.

Dwight is already better than Blake.Deandre is developing nicely. His ability to protect the rim is just as good as Dwights. Dirk HAS to come back from knee surgery well for this to matter. As for Howard I believe he has peaked. We have seen him at his best. Blake is just getting started. It's what his third season playing? He has a lot more upside. You also then have to look at the rest of the supporting cast. Billups, Crawford, Butler, etc. give them a better overall team.Clips look like they have a shot at the Finals this year with how the Lakers have looked and the Thunder have looked. They match up very well with both of those teams. If they can get productive play from Odom and Grant Hill can contribute like in Phoenix then this team could be the favorite to come out of the West in May.
Why would anyone in the nba want to play with D12 now? Worst teammate of all time; & his FT shooting sucks the life out of you at crunch time. Yeah, think cp3 is perfectly happy with Blake & DJ

Dirk will be 35 before next season starts. I don't think he has too many "score at will" years left.I had two joke responses: 1) at what age does he stop being 7 feet tall with an unblockable jumpshot?2) Don't Germans measure years in metric years? If a kilo gram is more than a pound, isn't Dirk actually 32 in American years?But it's a fair point. I'd say Dirk has more than 2 years remaining as potentially dominant scorer at the 4, but he surely has less years left than Griffin, CP3, or Howard as an elite player.
....and our roster will feature a 36 year old KG, 35 year old Paul Pierce and Jason Terry

Right now the only players 36 or older that ever got 20 a game were MJ, Kareem and Malone.

It means teams have a replacement ready because nobody plays much longer than 36. Instead of being left high and dry they try to integrate other guys into the offense, typically while the older guys sit back and coast to the playoffs.
If Dirk is still getting 17 shots a game next year, there's no chance he scores less than 20. Much more likely some of those shots are going to OJ Mayo (or Collison and Crowder).
