    Who's better, Cuttino Mobley or Eddie Jones? Both are definately towards the end of their respective careers, but which one would you rather have on your team right now? Also, which one do you think had the better career?

    Right now, I'll take Cuttino Mobley. Eddie Jones has had a pretty big declined these past few seasons, Mobley is still producing much better. Overall, I think Eddie Jones has had the better career though. He was always a consistent player on both sides of the ball. A great perimiter defender and an effective offensive threat, mainly during his years with the Lakers and Hornets.

    I'm going to go with Cuttino Mobely. Mobely has worked hard for his team even after being seperated from steve francis being a blow back he has been able to produce as a wingman to Elton Brand and is able to get in the shots when they need them to. Mobely has great game and I wanted him for the sim-league but didnt get him *cry*

    Jones has fallen of the map, and I didn't see much of him this year. I saw Cuttino play, and he really is playing well, as well as he ever has. I'll take him absed n my lack of Eddie this year

    Prime - Eddie Jones
    Now - Cuttino Mobely

    Jones is truly on his decline, whereas Cat is still a guy that can give u 15-17 a night and hit outside shots for you. Jones can still knock down open shots, but his speed is not half what it was 3 years ago and his defensive antics have dropped a bit. That's the thing I have always liked about Eddie Jones, not only is consistant as hell and a good guy, but he also defends.

    Jones is still a very solid player in this league, but Mobely is ahead of him as of right now. I do, however, think Miami should have never involved him in that offseason deal.

    Even though I really like EJ, Mobley is better than him right now, Jones wouldve been better if he was still in Miami since the Heat need better outside shooters

    well cuttino isnt nearly as old as Eddie is he? I'd go with Cuttino simply because he is younger. but eddie could play good defense.

    Fabolous, you're right about Mobley not being as old as EJ... Cuttino Mobley will turn 31 in September, whereas Eddie Jones will turn 35 in October.

    wow, this is close. I really like both players. Both are great shooters, good defenders. Eddie is a better leader and Cat is a better scorer. Right now, i believe Cuttino is slightly more effective, so i'll take him, but it's still close.

    Last year when Jones played for the Heat he was all over the news and stuff. But, ever since then I haven't heard much about him. But, then again he plays for the Grizzles. But, Mobley hasn't really digressed that much lately and he is still an ok player and putting up good numbers. So my vote goes to Cutino.

    I'll definately take the Cut. Eddie Jones is like 34 now. He doesnt have much left in the tank. Cuttino is a good shooter, he is quick, and is able to score points.

    it's the king of the cats cuttino mobley of course. even though eddie jones has had the better overall carreer. it sucks that the clippers got knocked out of the playoffs.
