Guy posts this on realgm talking about how we should trade a package of Iggy, Sam, Jrue, JK and a 1st for CP3, Peja, Posey and I think Collison.

Another poster says that he undervalues paul by a longshot, and that adding Collison only makes it worse because they'd trade their future PG.

He responds with this...

"Collison ?...yes. But we are adding Holiday, a guy who is WAY better than Collison
will ever be. Collison is a career back-up at best. As where Holiday could end up being better than Paul. He's over 7 inches taller, and just as quick. His upside is unlimited. Dalembert is not a scrub. Way better defensively than Ex-player Tyson Chandler, and can allow okafor to play PF. Kappano = way better than Posey, so I fail to see where this is not value. You are over-valuing Chris paul."

Holiday is apparently 6 foot 7 now...he also goes on to say this blasphemous statement...

"But please, diagree all you want. Hell, in the end, the sixers will keep Holiday, and in 2 years, he
will be ahead of the Paul's and Rose, as well as all other PG's."

You wonder why Philly fans get bad reps...

That trade makes no sense but what do you expect when the 6ers are about as exciting as a wet noodle.Peja's best days are long gone.

I don't really care about the rest of what he said...but saying Jrue will be the best point guard in the nba in 2 years and that he has infinitely more upside than CP3...Seriously?

It's not out of the question. Holliday's only 19 and is already decent. He's very big and plays nasty defense. And he can shoot. He's smart and he'll improve a lot over the next 2 years.

That trade is horrible by the way. We only get one guy back, Paul, and in 2 years he may be only a little better than Jrue. Posey & Peja are DONE.

Maybe I'm the crazy one...but really? Chris Paul is the best Point guard in the game. He is a good defender, passer, shooter, and leader. He's only 24 and getting better every year.

Has there ever been a PG to come out in his 3rd year after playing < 10 minutes per game his rookie year and average 23 Points, 11 assists, almost 6 rebounds, and 3 steals while shooting over 50% from the field?

Ill give you an example of what I'm trying to say.

Steve Nash's rookie year stats:

10+ minutes per game
3 points
2 assists
1 rebound

Steve Nash's 3rd year

32 minutes as a starter
8 points
5.5 assists
3 rebounds

His 10th year in the NBA, most comparable season to CP3

19 points
10.5 assists
4 rebounds

I just can't imagine Jrue going from his minutes and position this year to an all-star putting up hall of fame numbers in 2 years. Even if he does have that kind of talent, I couldn't imagine him playing 35+ minutes the next 2 years as a starter unless something drastic happens with this roster.

You're right, Paul is special. The only guy who compares as a young point is Magic. And Oscar, who was really more of a LeBron of his time than a point guard.

But Magic couldn't score like Paul can.
