Simple question. Who would you rather have on your NBA team and why?

Nope... I believe Caron is the better player within a team concept.

Baron is the more talented but he has a tendency to try to be and do it all turning himself into a serious chucker at the expense of his team. Butler isn't as talented but comes much closer to maximizing his talent on a more consistent level. I would mention fragility but Butler as been hurt a lot the past two years while Baron seems to be less injury prone than he used to be.

Caron Butler is the better team player and defender.

Caron, he might be a marginal lesser scorer but a much better defender, not to mention I think he plays alot harder.

Caron is the better defender hence I take him.

baron will take your team farther as the main guy than caron will but caron would be the preferred 2nd star on most teams because of his versatility.

As a number one, Baron is much better. And Baron IMO is a better defender than Caron (albeit a lot less consistent at times), and has taken teams much deeper, so he's a better leader/team player.Also, Baron is a do-it-all type guy, which I like in a #1. However, as a number two, I'd take Caron in a heartbeat.

Baron might actually be a terrific number 2 guy. He's always felt the need to try and take over, and if he were the second best player, and got to play to his talents, he might flourish.

Baron can come be our 2 guard in NO plz

If Baron lived up to his potential, he'd be MUCH better than he is now.

Same with Caron Butler.

^^^ Really? Caron has a much better work ethic than Baron does, so I'd say Baron lived up to much less of his potential than Caron has.

Yeah Caron has worked his tail off to get where he is now, and goes all out every night regardless of how his body feels (hence, "Tough Juice"). He's also been a great leader and captain for the Wiz. I honestly think Baron with all his freakish athletic ability is probably more talented, but I'd take Butler simply because I would want my team to be around somebody as driven as he is.
