Inferior players?...CP3, STAT, and Melo is inferior to Bosh, Wade and Bron?...Even if you say they are inferior, we are talking about 3 top 15 players if not top ten players...If you can't work with that then we should take our ball and go home....

I wouldn't play for Chris Paul or Dwight Howard in free agency if the chance to add a quality big comes around this offseason, but that's because I think the new CBA isn't going to allow it. Oden's not that guy, though.

I agree with you. Melo, Stat, Billups is inferior to Bosh, James, Wade, but it should be close enough for New York to at least compete. It's not a terribly huge gap to bridge, and one way or another they're going to have to do it.
