A report from Chris Broussard that the Lakers will attempt to acquire both Dwight Howard and Chris Paul immediately begs the question of how would that hypothetical Big 3 compare to the one formed during July of 2010 by the Heat.

Howard, Kobe Bryant and Paul were ranked 2nd, 5th & 6th respectively in PER during 10-11 season.

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were ranked 1st, 2nd & 4th respectively in PER during the 09-10 season, their last before becoming teammates. During the 10-11 season, James remained first while Wade dropped one slot to third and Bosh slid to 32nd.
