Dirk
Aldridge
Nowitzki
Which player would u rather have on ur team?
Aldridge is good but will never be even close to Dirk!
Dirk 10 times out of 10.
Aldridge has played great this season though. I'd love him on my team. But between the two, it's easily Dirk.
Every time a PF has a hot month or two a thread pops up like this comparing him to Dirk.
The only pf even remotely deserving of being considered to be picked for any team over Dirk is Gasol, and that's only if there is already a clear number one guy in that team.
Aldridge easily for most teams in the league. Dirk's game has already started to fall off a bit, and will most likely free-fall within a couple of years like that of every other elite big man aside from Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone. Nowitzki would only make sense for a veteran team that's close and is in "Win Now or Bust" mode.
Right when I saw baseline posted I knew he was going to make an argument for Aldridge. No lie.
One would assume that this is about a player's overall ability now, so considerations about how Aldrige is younger shouldn't even be here. Sure if your team's plan is being in the lottery and planning to be good in a far far future you might want to pick Aldrige.
This depends, are we talking these players in their prime?
If not I would definitely say Aldridge, Dirk is still the better player yes but he is at the point of the downside of his career where as Aldrigde still has his prime to go.
Both players are beasts though.
this is no where near as bad as DB.comers saying they'd take Roddy over Manu.
Did any of the DB.comers say they'd take Roddy over Manu now or did they just say they'd take Roddy over Manu because of the future. I'm not trying to argue just curious. If a DB.comer thinks the Mavs are contenders then yeah it's re ed to say they'd Roddy over Manu when Manu can help a contending team A LOT more than Roddy can, however if it's a DB.comer who's given up on the present and wants to focus on the future, IMO saying they'd take Roddy over Manu makes sense.
Doesn't really make sense either way, but they were talking about a combo of both. It's way more stupid than this. LA is a lot closer to Dirk now than Roddy is to Manu. LA also wins the long term argument as well.
I agree completely. If we were to use the arrow argument (lol arrow argument), I'd only use 3-4 arrows comparing LA and Dirk, while using 10-12 arrows comparing Manu and Roddy.
My point was that if it's a DB.comer who's truly given up on his team (then again DB.comers never give up on their boys in blue) then yeah it would make sense not to trade Roddy for Manu, but if you were to think along those lines then you would also want Dirk traded for a young rebuilding package.
