Worst-Best Player in the NBA

I brought this topic up to Gad and even Sparky mentioned it a little. However, I figured I'd see what would come up in a thread. The title is self explanitory. Is Redd the worst-best player in the NBA?

I can think of a couple that he may be better than.

Randolph?
Gay?

I can't really think of any others and when you factor in salary and age it is quite pathetic how "great" are best player is.

Redd can take over a game by himself, therefor I would definitly give him the notch over Randolph.

Take Rudy Gay off that list.

He's not great yet, but at age 21 he's a better all around player than Michael Redd.

So Gay is off the list.

That leaves us with the Knicks as the only team in the entire NBA that has a worst best player than we do. This is why I think Redd is entirely overrated by many here. The fact that 28 other teams have a better player or at least a player that more than likely will be better is reason enough I think you trade Redd and go from there. Sure, more than likely our new best player is Mo and we fall one spot to having the worst best player in the league, but it gives us so much more flexibility for the future.

A better question is

How many teams have 2 players you'd rather have than Redd? Or 3? Possibly 4?

It is a great question......

I always had Redd as about the 40th best player on my list a year ago.....but after this season, he's dropped into the 50-60 range.

I know a couple of teams with 3 better players, 4 could be tough though, what you got?

Jason Richardson deserves a mention, no matter how small it may be.

I can't think of a team with 4. There are alot with three though.

Gerald Wallace disagrees.

Also, would anyone take Redd over Okafor (who has yet to be overpaid).

I'd take Okafor easily over Redd.

I forgot about G. Wallace. Whoops.

And I would take Okafor over Redd. Okafor and Bogut together would be nice.

How about Richard Jefferson? Possibly I'd take Redd over him, but then again Redd makes so much more money than he does. Martin is about on Redd's level in Sacto, but again, the salaries aren't even close.

This is the pathetic thing about this franchise. Most here can agree that Redd is our best player. I wish and hope Bogut and Yi will become that, but as of right now Redd is. However, in the grand scheme of great NBA players he is at the bottom of the list. Every team has at least one guy that can be called "great". We happen to have maybe the second worst making the most money.

RE: Richard Jefferson

When he played for a team as pathetic as this Bucks team, he put up 22/7/4 while playing decent defense. Scratch him off the list.

Also, I'd give some consideration to Devin Harris over Redd.

How about JO? When healthy he's undoubtedly better, but let's say he won't be healthy anymore. I'd take Redd over him.

Would you take Redd over Granger?

Over Dunleavy Jr.? Seriously.

WEFFPIM · Post #19 » by **WEFFPIM** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 11:47 pm

Kevin Durant as well.

midranger · Post #20 » by **midranger** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 11:49 pm

Durant is on a rookie scale deal and is super young.

No one is taking Redd over that guy.
