I think Dirk is on the same tier as KG, maybe Wade too. Where would you have Dwight & CP3?

Cp3 is not a fanchise player for me. Dwight well, cant really putting him a tier, he carried his team just one time in 2009 to the finals. in the east. for me not that dominant, not the clutch player, the offensive weaopon you need for a title run every year

Dirk is for me clearly first tier, especially considering playoffs

IDK how you have Garnett on the 2nd tier, he should be int he 1st along with Wade.

[Young X]

Why do you have Dirk and Durant as 1st tier but not KG or Wade? Both of them are easily franchise players.

Love or hate the guy, Rose has been a franchise player In this "decade".


The fact that now we don't know if he is, what does it say that the Bulls true championship hopes hinge on him more than anything else in Chicago?

[rule1223]

wade is much better than the players you grouped him in, maybe not garnett as much, but he is alot better than nash, pau and pierce

[Dengness9]

All the have to prove it guys don't have to prove shit. Except for maybe Melo at this current point in time.

All the others are shoe in franchise players.

Agenda thread. Melo is not below 2nd tier. Shaq is not 1st tier. Durant is not that much better than melo. Durant had better teammates than Melo, Wade had asterisks and better teammates than melo and Lebron had the most stacked teammates of all time which Melo never had.
