If you have to pay a max contract, it's got to be Baron over the Kandi Man. He's just not worth that money. In the east he might average 13 and 8? You know Baron will average probably 22 points and 6 assists, and 4 rebounds, and step it up in the playoffs. Point guard leads the team, he carried the Hornets in the playoffs. Kandi hasn't even been to the playoffs. He's overrated, the numbers back it up. He shot .433% last year! (.434% for his career) That's terrible, especially keeping in mind that he play 8 feet from the hoop. Give me a break.
I agree, I dont even think they are even close. Baron is a superstar, Kandi is a bust. And if we get Baron, then Sprewell is really expendable - we can trade him to get a big man or a real small forward, but probably a big man.
Ok, ok, here it is: No argument from me, Baron is a much better player, without a doubt. However, you could make the argument that Kidd is better player than Shaq. That said, it doesn't matter how much better you are than Shaq, you can never be as dominant as him, due to his size. Size is a huge part of the game, you have to know that. It doesn't make you better, it makes you more dominant, and he who dominates the game, usually wins...
