re: Who would you rather have Anthony Davis or Chris Paul in the long run?

The problem with Paul is that for as good as he is/was, he has never been past the second round of the playoffs

Yep. Tough to win big in this league when your best player, by a WIDE margin, is 6 feet tall.

The RINGZ argument is silly to me though. How far did Kobe get with a roster comparable to any of Paul's? LeBron is a basketball prototype and the best player since Jordan. He didnt win shite in a weak conference until going to Miami. Doesn't mean I rate either guy less.

Takes the right talent, coaching, organization to be in the title mix. And then you need a hell of a lot of luck to pull one out.

Cracks me up too. According to this board, Simmons et al are dumb for critizing the Holiday trade. Proven talent >>>>> potential. Here its potential >>>>> proven talent. And I love it. People are on board for this team and will defend our guys.

I do think we sometimes forget how spectacular pre injury Paul was though. Those 07-09 seasons were must watch every night for him alone.

I will never forget Paul v the Bulls at home in 07-08. He went supernova and single handedly pulled out a comeback W. Just unreal.
