And with that we won't see him around here for about a month.

Chris Paul, Rondo can't shoot, hustle can only get you so far.

Clearly Chris Paul

[andremiller07]

The only difference between Chris Paul and Rondo right now is a greater than sign

Chris Paul > Rajon Rondo

[miles berg]

CP3 by a mile, no comparison.

In the regular season? CP3

As far as the Playoffs are concerned, I'll go with the one who's been out of the 2nd round & has been the best player on an NBA Finals team.

Give me the guy who comes to play in June.

It does and it's my main knock on him. He's not assertive enough, even in the playoffs when I think he picks up the intensity and becomes much more assertive - he could still be more assertive.

Especially with KG at center that lane opens up far too much for him to be averaging 12 points a game.

If cp's healthy in the playoffs he'll outplay rondo per 48

Ainge would trade Rondo for Paul in a heartbeat. Hell, he already tried to.

this man...im a celtic and rondo is just an assist whore. ...our record would be and should be better if he look to score more.

when was rondo the best player on a finald team?....

lmao this isn't even a question.

Rondo is below CP3 as a player (but not by much).

But CP3 isn't just how well he plays. It's about how well he leads.

He took the worst franchise in the league and did everything for them. Recruited the players, worked the media, gave them belief in themselves, led them on and off the court.

Chris Paul is the greatest leader in the league and that counts for far more than who is the better passer or has the better handle.

Rondo, though I like him, is nowhere near the leader and, in fact, has been suggested to be a loner type

[jjayfive]

I would take CP3 in a heart beat, he's a better all around scorer and just as good passing.
