Who Would You Rather Have: Roy vs. CP3 Edition

Assuming it takes trading Brandon Roy to get Chris Paul, who would you rather have?

Roy:

Advantages:

- Is a Northwest guy

- According to Kobe's inflated praise, has no weaknesses on offense.  However, Kobe's statement is probably pretty close to the truth.

- Is a role model on and off the court.  Do we need to be reminded of his media award and great personality the fans have come to love?

- Is darn clutch.

Disadvantages:

- Is not the best fit for this team.  Right now, a more up-tempo scheme is perfect for the team, but Roy slows them dow.n.

- Not the best defender.

- Passively seduces Nate to run iso plays off of him.

- Prone to injury.

 

Paul:

Advantages:

- Can be a great fit for this team.  Can you imagine the amount of alley-oops LMA and Oden would be slamming down every night?

- Is, well, CP3: a top 3 PG in the league.

- Would probably turn us into a title contender much sooner.

Disadvantages:

- Is from a state way over there.  North Carolina, or something. 

- Is a major whiner.

- Prone to injury.
