You NEVER hear someone say, man, I wish we had Chase on our team, REAL GAME CHANGER!

EXACT same thing I was thinking

This is fun.

18 and 16 in basically two quarters for Chris.

7/19? 8 turnovers? Gross. I'd say maybe he had an off game, sure, but against the Timberwolves? :/

This season, he's just not better, IMO. A nice stretch sure, but Rose has had a nice season.

Huh? I'm not necessarily saying Russ is better, but who cares about a bad game? Rose shot 5 for 17 in a loss to Charlotte a couple weeks ago. It happens to the best of them.

Hornets bench is embarrassing. If this was any other team, the streak would've stopped at 9.

I don't know, I just would take Rose over Russ 100 times out of 100 and I never see why anyone wouldn't.

Prisoner of the moment...They put up essentially the same numbers.  For all those riding Rose's nuts, let me ask you this...You think Rose would be able to co-exist with Durant like Russ does? Cause I certainly don't.  Who played better this summer when they were on the same team? Russ without a doubt.

You might be right on that one, especially if Rose keeps improving like he did this past summer.

He could have gone to a contender instead of re-signing with the Suns.

Brian Cardinal?

Ehhh I would be pumped, but Budinger>Granger. The guy would easily solidify our woes at the small forward position

 
On the reals though..... Why don't the Kings go after Granger

Russ had experience with KD, who was THE guy this past summer, I fully expect him to shine better next to Durant.

You can't play that what-if game. If Rose and Durant were on the same team, personally, I'd think they'd be much closer to being a contender than they are right now.

Rose has lead his team since he got in this league. Lead them to the Playoffs, and played one of the best series in the Playoffs in recent history, if not ever. The best player Rose has played alongside is Noah.

The best player Russ plays alongside is going to go down as an all-time great in his position. Rose just has that it factor, the dedication, the no-nonsense mentality about him. I watch Rose, I see a guy that scares me. Russ doesn't scare me as much.

I'm not downplaying Russ at all, he's still a great PG, but IMO, Rose is up there right with Deron and Paul.

His game just keeps improving by leaps and bounds, and he's a natural leader.

Lol. Larry Bird ain't gonna trade Granger for nothing. The core of Granger, Collison, and Hibbert looks good on paper and you don't need to be great to make the playoffs out in the East. Pacers looking pretty good next year with their fat contracts gone.

Better chance of getting Gerald Wallace actually, but I rather address the PG problem first. CP3 can make Cousins the next Shaq.
