Lawson is not better, Calderon is not better. Currently playing better =/= better. And even that is debatable.
Deron is not nearly what he was, though. I have had way too many arguments in the past two years about Paul and Deron, and the fact people ever thought it was debatable is just... sad.

Calderon is better, he can actually still create for his teammates and shoot as well. Lawson will continue being better once he gets his ass back into gear.

Defensively Calderon is a significant step down from Deron. Calderon can shoot, but he is slow, and predictable. He is the perfect back up, but not a guy I want to ever be a top guy on my team.

yeah while I'll admit D-Will's been garbage thus far, I take him over Calderon 100 times out of 10. But the whole D-Will/CP3 debate is dead though.

I never said I'd want him as a top guy on my team, either. But I'd rather stab myself in the eye than have Deron as the top guy on my team.

Dammit, Brody....I go ahead and admit we are like minded when it comes to basketball and the very next day you try and say Calderon is better than Deron. C'mon, man.

Yeah, that was just a ridiculous argument from the start.
Harden gets too much hate because people want to say he was a 3rd fiddle and not important, and too much love because people want to say he was 3rd fiddle and now look how good he is.
Realistically, he's a top 25 NBA player, and Mayo is nowhere close. Although, Mayo is pretty damn good, and I wish the Celtics had him instead of Jet.
Edit* Might even say top 20, actually...

Hey, I lead the Harden charge round these parts. I demand full credit. My point is being immediately validated (who would've thought the regression/progression to the mean would happen so soon and so rapidly?!?!) and I love it. I will give Brody credit because he has been a fellow Harden supporter from the beginning.

Also, this whole Celtics waiting to bring Fab up until he can get legit minutes...
WE ARE STARTING JASON COLLINS. In 7 minutes his statline is bagels other than a foul. REALLY? You're telling me Fab would not be significantly better for those 20 minutes a game? And that isn't enough to help develop a player?
