Today, Paul for obvious reasons.

Tomorrow, Wade for obvious reasons.

Paul now...hes a top 5 player and the MVP.

Paul needs to do this in the playoffs, which i think he will. Wade will be back next season though.

i take Paul today, Tomorrow, after the war, because it is extremely hard to find a true point guard, plus paul is a super-quick guard who can score in bunches, at his best running the break , has a high basketball IQ, also has the ability to slash and breakdown the defense, and he already has his teammates respect and his coach

Chris Paul is the easy choice. Very likely he will win the MVP this season.

The only player I would want right now other than Paul is maybe Howard.

Paul, easy, and that's not a slight to Wade. Paul would probably not be my choice if you offered me anyone in the league, but he'd certainly be in my mind, and would definitely be in the top 3 or 4 with Howard, LBJ and Oden.

What about Lebron?

If Wade was healthy this would be a much different scenario. Last year when all their injuries hit them, Wade was doing 30ppg, 8apg, and like 5rpg, and then he himself got injured. In that situation I would probably take Wade, but in the real world I'll take Paul. Players like him don't come around too often.

is it possible to have them both on the same team? :D

Well, I'd have to go for Paul even if Wade wasn't injured. Paul shoots the ball about as well as Wade does and can run the floor much better (for obvious reasons).

I'm surprised a 6 ft player could make this kind of mark in the nba today.

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
If you guessed this one is not like the others,
Then you're absolutely...right!


Come on Harry, you know better. Oden would be lucky to accomplish anything close to what Wade has achieved. Hell, he's never set foot on an NBA court!

You're either severely overrating Oden or severely underrating Wade, and honestly, it's probably a combination of the two...

Lebron James is the only guy in the league I'd take over Chris Paul at the moment. I knew Paul would be good. But he's taken it above-and-beyond anything anybody could've imagined for him coming out of college.
It took 10 frickin' years, but we've finally got a legitimate franchise player to lead us back to the top.

If i had Paul on my team Players I'd trade Paul for straight up- Howard, LeBron, Kobe, (and Deron if I own the Jazz).

No way I'd trade Paul for Kobe right now.
