From articles I've read Jerry Buss is all for hardcaps and revenue sharing. THe guy is smart and doesnt want to fight it and waste time. He will still make the money and have the best teams.

well a hard cap is to make things more equal between big and small market teams correct?
wouldnt that mean lower ratings for the nba if smaller market teams make the playoffs and finals?
and what if the small market teams still suck? then what will they blame it on?

Transcendent defender vs. super athletic dude who just blocks shots? It's D12's to lose for a long time. He affects the game in so many ways, and some don't show up on the stat sheet. Ibaka has to rebound A LOT more, and not just go for the home run shot block (ala Shawn Kemp). Dwight alters so many shots and grabs way more defensive rebounds than Ibaka even averages in total rebounds. I know he's young, but he has a long way to go to catch up to the point where he's in the discussion. Keep in mind Orlando would literally be one of the worst defensive squads in the NBA without Dwight, and his presence alone puts them near the top. That's insane.

This. There's a difference between a great shot blocker and a great defensive player.
Ibaka & Howard each average 2.4 BPG last season. Howard won the DPOY award, Ibaka finished 14th in voting. Sure, Ibaka's BPG will probably rise whenever the next season is due to him seeing the court more, but it's not going to make much of a difference in the voting.
Guys who get the huge help swats & chase down blocks are entertaining to watch, but don't expect them to be competing for DPOY any time soon.
