Pao Gasol or Caron Butler?

I am aware of this.

 

I would have to disagree. Caron put up very good stats in his one year with Miami and in his one year in LA. The guys got all sorts of talent and has really improved every facet of his game since he went to Washington.

 

Well he had two year in Miami. First year with 57 losses and the next year with 35 losses...guess who came to Miami that 2nd year...Wade

His year with the Lakers was 48 losses

so like I said, his stats are inflated since he has been playing on crappy teams. Im not saying he isnt good, just that his stats are inflated because he has become the default go to guy on sub-par teams

 

The Washington teams have not been crappy besides this year. And he wasn't the go to guy until last year, Arenas was. Butler still put up great numbers.

 

One thing I must point out that is funny, the only people voting for Gasol are Lakers fans.... lol

 

You forget that his year with the Lakers, he, Odom and Kobe all missed significant time. Beyond that, they had an awful coach after Rudy T stepped down.

 

Close enough...he had to deal with Kobe in LA

 

Guess that means we have the most educated fans on the site then

 

Doesnt those facts add to my side of the argument? OVERINFLATED

 

Nooo....I'm just saying that that team was bad mainly because of missed games and a coaching change a quarter of the way through the season. I don't see how his stats are inflated by these "bad teams". He was in the playoffs what...3 years in a row in Washington, and put up really, really good numbers in each of those years. The guy is a very, very good player, and his stats are hardly overinflated.

 

agree to disagree then




....but im right

 

Let's see, what's more important, a big or a small?

Neither Pau nor Caron are that much "better" than each other. Small forward is one of the easiest positions to fill in the league, powerforward is not. If I had to pick one, I'd definitely go with Pau.

 

You keep thinking that...and I'll just keep thinking you're in denial.

 

Why would I want to be in denial of Carons abilities? I call it like I see it. meh...whatever

 

It was a joke my friend...I 'spose a smiley would have helped the cause there, but I figured you'd know me by now and be able to tell a joke from serious, apparently not. Tsk tsk.

 

I knew you were just having fun with me but thought you still sorta meant what u said

 

I'll go with Gasol, a lot easier to build a team with a big.

 

I'm gonna go with Pau as well

 

You would have to be absolutely crazy to choose a wing over an All-Star big man. The only time that makes sense is when the wing is one of the truly elite players in the NBA. Caron Butler is not that.
