Wade tells Heat Owner He Wants to Remain With Heat

You've got to be kidding me, Bosh over Howard? If the whole league went in a draft, Howard would be the second guy taken after LeBron. You can throw whoever you like around him and your team will be very good defensively (compare with Bosh's Raptors, who are the worst defensive team in the league). He draws as many fouls as anyone in the game. He's bulletproof: the guy has only missed 3 games in nearly 6 years. The worst he's shot the last 4 years is 57%. He's about to become the first player ever to lead the league in rebounding 5 years in a row.

houheffna, you'd trade all that for a few measly points a game in Bosh? I mean I like Bosh, I think he's a borderline top 5 player, but he's just not in Howard's league.

I would take Howard over Bosh too, but at this time, Bosh is having a career year and Howard's year has been subpar offensively. There is no other player I would rather pass the ball to in the post if I had to get points right now...he scores easily and efficiently. Howard is a franchise player and has that mentality. Bosh has the skill of a franchise player, but not the mentality. That is why i put "right now" in that sentence.

I think the reason Howard doesn't get the offensive numbers has more to do with his teammates. He is surrounded by scorers. I will give you Bosh is better offensively now but I think the gap is exaggerated by the make up of the Magic.
