Who is the 3rd best player in the NBA?

Play no defense and be called too 3 brehs
I'm taking CP3; Blake, Russ, Tim Duncan, and AD all over Melo.
If Rose is healthy, Melo might not even be top 10

But if Melo landed in Miami this off-season you'd be calling him #2 :truth:

 

[Luke Cage]

Every player on that list except for CP3 would be expected to defer to Melo if they played on the same team.
Russy probably wouldn't but thats because he's dumb as fukk.

its still cp3... if were talking who could lead his team to the ship

Because Paul as a leader has yielded such great results. Dumbass

Even if Kobe was healthy he's not carrying his team to the playoffs anymore.

Why wouldn't that non top dog defer to melo?Lol you act like he's a scorer. He HAS to defer to Melo. Russ is an elite scorer (as he showed vs paul). So no he w/o k st be an idiot to not defer to Melo.

The third player drop off after LeBron and Durant is so large you can debate with a multitude of players for the 3rd spot.

Coming into this season I'll go with Blake but that could be subject to change.

 

[CarltonJunior]

Either Russ or Blake. Leaning toward Russ

Blake has more impact on the Clippers success than CP3, fact.

 

[CarltonJunior]

If it's guaranteed that he's going to be healthy for the whole season I'd probably go with Derrick Rose. Blake Griffin might be better though even if Rose is healthy. I certainly can't put Davis or Love when neither has seen a playoff series, and with AD most people who consider him the third best player are throwing in the potential caveat as well.

Chris Paul, Carmelo, Dwight, Westbrook, Curry, Aldridge, D.Wade/Bosh (depending on how they respond to the new responsibilities, they both have the talent if healthy), or Harden or any of the aforementioned all could potentially be considered third best next year depending on how their seasons go. Darkhorse scenario is Demarcus Cousins.

This guy gets it.

 

[AkaDemiK]

How well that work out the first time?

went further than durant in the playoffs....
