After watching my boy Derrick Rose destroy the Craptors down the stretch last night, I gotta ask if you were starting a franchise today would you go with Rose or CP3?
There's no question that CP3 is more established right now and has already had a minor taste of playoff success, but he's also surrounded by better players instead of the pu pu platter that John Paxson has put together in Chicago.
Name me another point guard that has come into the NBA in the past two decades and dominated out of the gates like Rose? I mean he's breaking kids ankles who are playing five feet off of him!!
Now if Paxson gets the axe as he should and Vinny the Black (Scott Skiles II) eases up on Foodgate then the Bulls should start making some noise.
So I'll ask if you're starting an NBA franchise from scratch and taking a PG then who ya got?
I know one thing, even with the B2B's and a terrible record against the Cavs lately, I like the Bulls at home tonight against LBJ (currently +8.5 at Sports Interaction)

CP3 no doubt.... easy one. Let me ask u something JOHNNY.... do you even watch the NBA? If you do, you would know that CHRIS PAUL has made his supporting cast better players. They were NOBODY'S before playing with Paul essentially....No one gave a shit about New Orleans, then CP3 comes along and makes everyone on his team better. Rose....he has made his team WORSE. Go figure that one out! The bulls were much better TEAM TEAM TEAM without rose. Thats a FACT. Check the record out. ya rose is good...but does he make his players better that PAUL makes his.... ahaha HELL NO. PAUL turned david west into an all-star, and made Peja better last year giving him open shots, and made Chandler a descent player as well.... Bulls are loaded with ''talent", so dont think for a second - you clown - that CP3 is better because he is surrounded by "better" players. You are mistaken.

tland... i think it's better to ask if YOU watch the NBA... we all know (including the casual fan) what CP3 can do and has done... but it's the real studious observer that knows what Derrick Rose is all about, and more importantly, what he will be all about...
obviously right now it's easy to say Chris Paul, because he is right now the best point guard in the game, and has reached a very polished level... but Rose is only a rookie, so you need to be able to project him to the next level... and very few people are able to project talent very well...
before he was drafted i said that Rose was going to become the Gold Standard at point guard in about 3 years, which is when i suspect he will overtake CP3 as the best in the game, but not by much... it remains to be seen, but if my prediction is right, Rose is the answer to your question...
can't go wrong either way... we may be watching two guys that are going to redefine the position...

those of you saying this is a landslide, either do not understand the question, do not understand the position, or do not understand the game... because it is not a landslide by any stretch...
remember, this is about the future, not right now...

hey i know the NBA, im obsessed. Im a follower haha. Still, there isnt a SINGLE thing i said that you can contend with- except for who would be better in your own opinion..... i know he is only a rookie...thats exactly it...he could fall offf the face of the earth if he starts sucking over the next three years(it happens or so...consistency consists of doing something for more than just a HALF of a season...not making any judgements on that boy just yet ICE....

Why are we comparing a rookie to such an established player in the first place. The ones that are picking CP3 are looking at the players now. Yes Rose is a rookie. But when Paul was a rookie he was just plain better then too. Yes Rose is scoring alot more than Paul was. But look at what he does for the other players. And the defense. I am picking CP3. And yes by a landslide. I am not sure Rose will ever be in the top 3 of the MVP race. And Paul will be there every year. Well close enough to the top 3. Looks like this year it's going to come down to 4 really. James, Bryant, Wade, and Howard. In no particular order either.
