Taylor 21 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Let's play a game. I thought it would be fun so I started the thread. "If you were starting a franchise, who would you take _______ or ________?" I will post 2 NBA players. The person who replies to the post must choose one of those two players, and say WHY. Then after answering the previous posters question, the poster must put up two players of their own. Pretty simple. Since I am first, I will just post two players. Kevin Durant or Derrick Rose?

Then after answering the previous posters question, the poster must put up two players of their own. Pretty simple. Since I am first, I will just post two players. Kevin Durant or Derrick Rose? Durant without question. I can always find a lesser point guard to get him the ball, the guy is a pure scorer and in my opinion, possibly the best combination of talent and young age (time to mature and contribute more) in the NBA today. Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett? I want to see who is more popular amongst long in the tooth power forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabby Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Tim Duncan. He's the best PF of all time. Some people even think since he was one of the best players in the past decade, that he is still one of the top 5 players in the NBA. (sound idiotic, but thats how some people think.) I love KGs passion though. He loves to trash talk, but he definitely backs it up. Amare Stoudemire or Kevin Love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Johnson, I really have no answer to why I would choose him because I would be happy with both, but i love Magic's style. Jamal Crawford or JR Smith.

Seems to be more consistent than Smith and isn't as much of a show off. Rudy Gay or Danny Granger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Amare Stoudemire or Kevin Love I might go with Kevin Love here. I'm probably biased against Stoudemire here, I just remember thinking he was a product of Steve Nash...needed someone to get him the ball and didn't have much game other than catch-and-dunk. I know he's thriving with the Knicks but I can't get my early impression of him out of my mind. Love, on the other hand, is someone who won't score a ton but will do a team's dirty work, and has a chance of getting 20 rebounds a night. You need someone like that on your team. Now, if I'm starting a team and these are my only two choices in the first round, I probably have to take Stoudemire if it's my first round pick because there's no guarantee a good scorer will be available in the second round. But if I'm building a team, I might lean towards Love. He's also a hell of a passer. I won't put a new one up since I didn't answer the newest one.

Taylor 21 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Rudy Gay or Danny Granger Rudy Gay. It's close, but i think Rudy Gay is a better player. This season was Rudy Gay's breakout season. His shooting % is terrific, especially from downtown. He's a better defender than Granger as well. Chris Paul or Daron Williams.

HailinginSeattle Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Daron Williams, he's a better scorer. Blake Griffin or Dwight Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Blake Griffin. He seems like he has more rounded game than Howard. Derrick Rose or John Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullnelson9999 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Blake Griffin. He seems like he has more rounded game than Howard.Derrick Rose or John Wall Derrick Rose. He's so much more of a complete player than Wall is, and Wall can ever be. I would actually take Derrick Rose over any player in the league if I were starting a team.

terrifNick21 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Shaq or Kobe ? Since fn9999 wasn't paying attention. Kobe. Can take over at any point, make shots from everywhere, and is as clutch as they come from the free throw line. Russell Westbrook or Tony Parker?

Olajuwon...dude CARRIED the Rockets pretty much by himself to the 1st championship. Just think about NBA champions...for the most part, you have two superstars on the roster (pistons were the exception but their balance was almost unmatched)...Olajuwon brought it all...offense/defense.
