Lowry, seems to need a system (and surrounding players) that best suits his skills, in order to play at his best.
1) Warriors - Swap Paul for Curry
2) Rockets - Swap Paul for Harden
3) Memphis - Swap Paul for Mike Conely
4) Raptors - Swap Paul for Lowry
5) Jazz - Swap Paul for George Hill
6) Thunder - Paul for Westbrooke
7) Wizards - Paul for John Wall
8) Cavs - Paul for Kyrie Irving
9) Portland - Paul for Lillard
I also don't think any of those teams trade their guy for CP3 straight up, with the possible exception of Utah with Hill. I even think Clippers would trade CP3 for John Wall in a heartbeat, and Wizards would hang up immediately.
Sure, Paul is an upgrade over most of those guys, but I don't think any of those teams are drastically improved if you swap out their current PG with Paul. And a few of them might be worse, because they've built themselves around their current guy. Sure Paul was ranked as a top 6 PG all time, (in one random article), but he was still listed behind Curry, and hasn't been mentioned in MVP voting in years, whereas Steph, Harden, Westbrooke, even Lowry, has had more MVP shine.
The point I'm trying to make is that even if you have the best player at PG you are not going to have that big of an advantage on a night to night basis because there are so many really good to great PG's right now."They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014

But what if we have the choice of adding Lowry or Paul to the 76ers? Which scenario would produce more wins? I would lean towards Paul.
