    The Southwest division is ridiculous. With the news today of LMA signing in San Antonio it made me think: who has the best front court in our division?

    Houston: Howard/D-Mo
    Dallas: Jordan/Nowitzki
    Memphis: Gasol/Randolph
    San Antonio: I guess they will play Duncan at Center?/Aldridge
    New Orleans: Asik/Davis

    Wow. That is insane. The Center position is pretty weak in today's NBA, but 3 of the very best (Howard, Jordan, Gasol) are in the same division! And the other teams that don't have as strong of a Center happen to have two of the very best PF's in today's NBA in Davis and LMA.

    Howard/DmoDmo.

    Howard a beast defensively. Dmo becoming beastly on the offensive end.

    I'd put Houston third behind SA and MEM.

    1) Duncan/LMA
    2) Gasol/Zbo
    3) Howard/Dmo
    4) Davis/Asik
    5) Dirk/Jordan


    The top 3 in SW are honestly going to be the top 3-4 in the league.

    1. Duncan/Aldridge
    2. Howard/Dmo(or Smith)
    3. Gasol/ Randolph( he is too fat and old now though)
    4. Asik/ Davis
    5. Deandre Jordan/ Nowitzki I don't see this as a dangerous match unless they bring in a solid roster around those guys. Parsons and Wes Mathews don't scare me.

    Asik/Davis

    Anthony Davis is better than all those groups of guys by himself.

    Small forwards are part of the frontcourt, it's San Antonio by a huge margin.

    Kawhi
    Aldridge
    Duncan

    One of the best in recent decades.

    I think we might have the best depth if smith resigns and Capela and Montrezl play up to their potential somewhat. In addition ariza and brew/dekker is a good SF rotation . Who knows at this point , papanickolau could shoot 40% from 3 and playmake at a high rate .

    Healthy Davis alone is better than any combo.

    The problem with Davis is that although he blocks a ton of shots his defense is not all that great. If his defense takes the next step this coming season then he will be the best but at this time his defense prevents that in my opinion

    I absolutely agree with this. Dirk has no defense what so ever to offer.

    1. Gasol and Randolph
    2. The Brow and Omer


    Other than that, not sure who I'd rank. I'd also put Cousin + whoever in the mix.
