Give me Bosh, Pierce is getting older, and I've never really liked his game. Bosh is someone you can build around right now and the future.

All of these guys have comparable talent and ability; it all depends on team needs, but out of the three I'd have to side with Bosh.

Bosh without a question. He could do some serious damage with a well constructed roster around him.

This is a hard one to answer.

Pierce has already had a great career in Boston. Melo is easily the most talented of the three, but he definitely has his own issues. Bosh is also extremely talented, but he's not a very good defensive player, and lacks a killer instinct to take over games down the stretch.

I'm a wash between Bosh and Melo until one of them decides to play better defense. Melo, for right now, seems like he has the ability/physical skills to guard his position better than Bosh. I don't know if I see Bosh developing the strength/size and post awareness to play the kind of interior defense that helps a team be a title contender.

No love for Carmelo after one DUI? Realistically, I'd probably go with Melo, he's the most dynamic scorer of the 3, and he's also the most naturally gifted. Attitude may be in question, but Melo does have a good work ethic and he's durable. At age 23, he's good for 28 and 8 for the next 8 years.

I'd take my chances with Melo.

Pierce is the most complete player, 'Melo the most talented one and Bosh probably the most valuable because of his size.

If you want a scoring first option: 1. Melo 2. Pierce 3. Bosh

If you have to choose one to build around, neither 3 are great to build around, but that would go to Bosh.

If you had to choose one to help you win a game now? Pierce.

Hard choice, but i'd go with Melo.. Like i've said many times before, Melo under a different coach who lights a fire under his ass , is a bonafide superstar.. And is in a different league than Pierce.. Bosh is the same as Melo, they needed coaches that understand how to utilize their talents..

What's wrong with this board! Melo is unbelievably underrated here.

It could go Bosh or Pierce right now.
