Are you an anti-semantite?

I think Brandon Roy being compared to Vince Carter is great.

If the Blazers had Vince Carter at 24, I would be very happy with that. Is Roy the next Carter, I don;t think so, they have different games. But sure is exciting having Roy when they are comparing him to the likes of a Vince Carter.

I obviously agree with Blazer fans, if the choice is today, who would take . . . without hesitation, Roy.

If you think their salary is what I'm talking about, you don't know hoops. Give them the same salary and I still think they all take BRoy.

If I'm a GM, I take age and salary into the equation. Roy is younger, cheaper, and has a much better change of improvement. Obviously you'd want Roy.

vc at 24 years old would be picked 10 times out of ten over broy.

Disagree.

Give them the same age and salaries, I think almost all GMs take Carter.

Are you intentionally trying to put words in my mouth?

Where in my post did I say a playmaker can't be a scorer as well? I said that, in my definition, playmaker does not mean scorer. Not "a playmaker can not be a scorer." So, to break it down Barney style for you so there's no misunderstanding, you are not a playmaker just because you can score. Clear?

My definition of a playmaker might be different than your definition, thus the reason why I said the term is vague. It can mean different things to different people. I would define a playmaker as someone who can set up his teammates. Chris Paul is a playmaker. Brandon Roy is a playmaker. LeBron James is a playmaker.

By that I mean, just because you can score doesn't make you a playmaker. That's my definition. A playmaker makes plays for his teammates. If Vince can do that, I apologize. You saw my original post in the 30 seconds that it was up before I changed it. I edited it because I realized the word playmaker can mean different things to different people.

I don't need to put words in your mouth.

You're the one making posts that make little sense.

People always downgrade Vince because everyone thinks he should have been top five all time.

I'm actually surprised that Roy matches up so closely with Vince Carter statistically. I would not have guessed they would be so similar.
