I never said Nelson was a better player than CP3. I said I'd rather have him on my team than Paul. I think the current Magic roster trusts Nelson a lot and I think he's a much higher character guy than Paul. I also said Nelson is a better 3pt shooter (38% career and 40% playoffs) than Paul (35% career).
Paul is a bitch. He always has been, and always will be. As a huge fan of ACC basketball, I've watched him his whole career, and while he's tremendously talented, he's also a punk and a dirty player. As a Magic fan, I would have a very, very hard time rooting for him. Does nobody remember the time he blatantly and obviously intentionally punched an opposing player in the balls? He hasn't grown out of that personality, and you can see his immaturity coming through with his entire handling of this situation.
From a personnel standpoint, sure, he'd be a bit of a talent upgrade. But it wouldn't be worth it, and like Hache has said, that is not at all where the Magic need improvement. Nelson is more than talented enough to lead the Magic back to the title game (hell, Rafer Alston was!). My point is that he isn't as big an upgrade as some may think, and that, from a strictly fan perspective, I would much prefer to keep Nelson than get CP3. Hell, I would have preferred they kept Courtney Lee and left loser-Vince up in New Jersey. Nothing I said was indicitive of somebody high on drugs.
