Typical that a bunch of idiots think a 34 yr old LBJ is more valuable than Steph and Durant combined. This is why its all bullshit Ricker. This stupid mythical shit people spout off and actually believe. This is exactly why I say hes the most overrated athlete ever.


I'm not sure where you're getting "a bunch" from and Haralabos, who is far from an idiot when it comes to the NBA, specifically said he doesn't think LeBron is as valuable as both of those guys, but he did like the fit better.

Yeah I think the fit is the key... Thompson, AI and Green are excellent compliments to LBJ IMO. And I assume they meant near term, next couple seasons, not long term. There's no reason why this isn't an actual valid debate with two reasonable viewpoints. It wasn't, is LBJ worth more than KD/SC. It was more nuanced than that.

LeBron is a great fit in any offense.

But I think the shooting ability of Curry and Durant make them better fits in the GS offense than LeBron.

If Durant and Curry were on Cle, that team would have defensive issues. That could be the difference between that team and LeBron’s Warriors.

The Clippers have no business being on that list.

SA is probably the biggest sleeper.

Kawhi wants out of SA, and wants to go to the Lakers. Going to be a wild off-season.

Sorry to see that things couldn't be patched up in SA... totally agree, could be real interesting to see how things shake out.

Expect the Sixers, Celtics, Lakers and Clippers to be the main four teams pursuing Kawhi Leonard, per sources. Teams with top picks could always jump into the sweepstakes, but the risk would be significant considering Leonard has just one more season left on his contract.

Evidently, Pop doesn't want to help the Lakers? This could all get very interesting. Do you think the other big names will wait until this is resolved?

It almost has to be resolved before the draft.

This is as dumb as the Os refusing to trade Manny to the Yankees or Sox. Once Leonard is gone he’s gone. You’re rebuilding. It doesn’t matter what team he’s on. Take the best offer.

Eh not really. It does need to be resolved before FA opens though.

The Spurs unlike the Orioles are one of the smartest organizations in sports.  If they deal him, they will get it right.
