Kyle Lowry > CP3 now brehs.

I'm not even a Raptor fan but the man can ball and the Raptors having the best record in the east gotta give props. I feel like he's like Steph Curry a few years ago when he was beasting but it hadn't caught on yet to a lot of casual NBA fans.
I know its fashionable to trash CP3 these days and he is a little overated but Lowry is not better than CP3. CP3 is still average 20/10 and is playing in the west. And CP3 > Lowry in terms of PER, everybody's favorite stat these days...

im a celts fan and yes u can but youd be wrong

So you really don't think Rondo is a top 15 player in the league? Not trying to start a debate, just asking for an honest answer.

Anybody who actually watches the team knows that Lowry is a well balanced Elite PG. He can take over games when needed but can also defer to other players and get them going. I wouldnt choose any other player to lead this team right now

Honestly breh I can guarantee you that if a trade for CP3 & Lowry were to happen before the season began that the Raptors are not 12-2 right now. If anything...probably 8-6 at best. :yeshrug:

We talking about teams or better player? There's all sorts of factors of why Lowry might be better for the Raptors than CP3, don't mean he a better player though. You could say the same thing for Conley Jr in Memphis vs CP3

I dont see CP3 as good for many teams though breh. Even if that trade to LAL happened years back I'm sure the team wouldve stiill imploded and been exited out of the first or second round.

This Clippers team is mad deep and talented as constructed. If Chris Paul is really that amazing and the best PG like everyone used to claim (I was always saying Curry and Westbrook are the best) he should have them in the conference finals at minimum. Instead, they lost to OKC and got MURKED by Memphis the previous year :manny:

Are you saying Lowry would have got those Clippers teams to the WCF? A dude who's pretty much journey man status until he got that contract in Toronto?

All I will say is this, as far as Rondo goes it's extremely comfortable to down Rondo as he is on a terrible team,and not making much noise, because he isn't getting much press, I guarantee if he were on a winning team, alot of people wouldn't be this disrespectful towards him, this thread isn't about Rondo so Im not going to harp on it anymore, but 10,10,8 with, Jeff Green and Avery Bradley as your main options:scust:
