he's a great scorer, but he's just not the kind of guy that's gonna get a team there. He's a really good player, but he needs a dominant PG to run the show and get him the ball where he needs it, so he can just concentrate on scoring. He needs a "Rondo" type PG. He's in that same category as Dwight Howard and Kevin Love. They're top tier players that won't ever lead a team to a chip.

To me, the only guys in the league that are truly franchise TODAY are:

Lebron
Kobe
Durant
Tony Parker

The only reason I don't add D Wade and Duncan is due to wear and tear, age and injuries, or else they'd be there too.

Nobody else has the all-around game and mentality to lead a team anywhere. Chris Paul included. He's a great floor leader, but he's not on the same level as the four (or six) guys above. People pretend he is, but in reality, he really hasn't done shit in this league.
