Same contract, who you take: CP3 vs Kyrie vs FVV

Suppose all are signed on the same contract, say 30m a year for two years.

Which contract would you prefer for your team?

Kyrie could be argued to be the best midrange and 3pt shooter of the group at this point, while clearly being the best finisher. It's definitely him.

I have to say, I'm not really sure I see the argument for CP3 at this point?

It seriously depends on what kind of team you have. Kyrie is certainly the most talented and a win now team probably prefers him. FVV can help any team but if the contract is Kyrie/CP3 level, he's being overpaid and unless you have a main guy you are afraid will learn to be a locker room disaster from Kyrie, I can't see taking him first. If you have a young team needing to push cap to get to the NBA minimum while looking for a taskmaster who provide an example of intelligent play, then Paul.

CP3’s washed, Kyrie’s a cancer, Van Vleet’s a slightly above average starting point guard. Give me Van Vleet all day.
