Chad Ford is crazy when he said there would be no stars in this draft. Irving will be a star. He is damn good.

Paul is almost playing on the same condition Roy is, and Roy didn't lose all his meniscus until last season, not two years ago. Plus, I honestly don't think Paul relies on athleticism as much as Roy. Paul is a better shooter and has his passing skill to fall back on, whereas Roy's primary skill is his scoring and slashing.

Exactly what I was saying.... If Roy actually had meniscus 2 years ago and none now; could CP3 fall down the same path?

IMO he's now a big risk, it's only one knee apparently but he's having issues and the more he plays the worse it will get, with Roy and Oden and all the probs we've had I can't see any way mgmt takes a chance on Paul, unless he's very cheap.

Oh I would have to disagree with this one. I actually think Roy is a better shooter than CP3 and CP3 relies on his quickness to do a lot of damage. I think a player like Roy, could actually play longer in the league with the same condition than CP3, because Roy plays at a much slower pace. Once CP3 loses his speed, he won't be as good as many think. Of course CP3 has an eye like a point and can pass better than the best of them; but without his speed, teams can zone him much easier and play the passing lanes. He needs to beat people off the dribble, so the defense collapses on him; then he gives it up to the wide open player.

How quick is Steve Nash? 50/40/90 with supreme court vision has a quality all its own.

Hmm, supreme court vision...

Don't we already have a PG with great court vision and passing without speed? I truly don't think Miller needs to be replaced. In fact, he was the only player in the playoffs that had a consistent game throughout. Well with the exception of game 6. I think if we can get Oden, maybe a tough PF defensive type and a shooter PG; we should be in very good shape. But that's just my opinion.

IMO he goes ONLY if a PGOTF can be traded for, if not we keep him. That's my opinion
