The regs know who I want, or should anyway. It's Melo and Paul all day..
I've warmed a lot to the prospect of a Melo acquisition over the last couple of months. It just makes sense on so many levels.
Getting Paul is just a no brainer. HOF PG in a PG dependant system. Common guys. He'd be absolutely sick on our team w the two other stars.
Both players along w Amare would give us the best core of any team in the league, in my opinion.
Go get er done Donnie!

I've never been sour on Paul, but I recently watched a lot of his games...And wow.
So many devalue him here. Toons (not singling out, it's many ppl saying it and he's just a big name poster) recently said what's the difference even between CP3 and Felton but a few assists.
I'd go so far as to say he is Lebron-like in his ability to own a game. Lebron of course does this through more explicit domination. But at the end of the day, CP3 owns his team and the games like no other -- since Lebron when he was with the Cavs.
With his remarkable efficiency, and total non-need to be high or even medium volume as as a shooter, being the facilitator for Melo and STAT would be the ultimate.
CP3 behind any grououng of superstars doesn't get any better. Ideally, I may want Howard-STAT-CP3, with Gallo in the middle. Shit..
But assuming Melo comes, CP3 > Howard for me. Howard can be a very modest volume scorer, too, and some efficient. Yet for him, that may very well be his Achilles flaw.
We'd be Showtime Lakers 2.0 but better.
