I think the TrailBlazers were using him as a point forward off and on and other things as well so I'm not sure any comparison makes much sense other than high paid veterans, Pippen getting significantly more minutes while under contract on a talent laden team, regardless of circumstances.
Pippen, without a doubt. Part of that is the pretense you get with Pip...Rice never was named to the 50 greatest players of all time list...Pip was, as I remember it. That's a freaking joke...it's even funnier (or sadder) when you consider that Alex English was left OFF that list.
