Blake Griffin or Dwight Howard

We all know Dwight Howard wants to be traded, and we all know he wants to go somewhere he can win. Recently, Howard has said that the Las Angeles Clippers are now on his list of teams. Yes the Clippers, the other team in LA. Howard's list now includes the Nets, Lakers, Mavericks, and the Clippers. Now you're probably thinking, if Dwight goes to LA (to play with the Clippers) that would be "Lob City" to the max with Chris Paul tossing oops to Blake Griffin and Howard. However, that's not the case. The trade would have to be, and there is no way around this, Griffin for Howard. I was listening to the Scott Van Pelt Show on ESPN Radio the other day and the question was; Would you trade Blake Griffin for Dwight Howard? The amount of people that said was mind boggling, I'm not sure of the exact number but I believe it was around 63% of people said they would not trade Blake for Dwight. My question is why? The reasons I heard; age, Blake has a higher ceiling, he is "cooler", ticket and jersey sales. The only one I slightly agree with is the ticket and jersey sales. The others are just ridiculous. Here are the numbers on each guy; Dwight Howard vs. Blake Griffin . Yes Blake might have more points, but Howard is a bigger presence all around. He is the best rebounder in the game, shot blocker in the game, gets MORE dunks. If you had a #1 overall pick in a draft and could choose any player in the NBA, you wouldn't take LeBron, D-Rose, or Kobe, you would take Dwight Howard. You build a team from the inside out. He is the overall (offensive and defensive) center in the game, and at the age of 26 (3 years older than Blake) he has a long way to go and is only going to get better. So there is no reason why anyone should say "I would take Blake Griffin over Dwight Howard. If there is, I would love to hear it.
