dokmo posted:Utah's offense looks like moist poo poo when they play big. Derek favors is in the corner and guys are playing off him like he's asking them for spare change. Their pick and roll looks like the three stooges trying to go through a doorway at the same time. Speaking of watching games days after they happened, I just watched Lebrons game 2 first quarter. Jesus Christ. If he had the energy to do that all game.... Just wow. It was pure basketball dominance.

Lockback posted:Oh man, these last few pages. I feel like I have to post this very frequently but Klay Thompson taking less money does not change how much NBA players as a whole get paid at all. NBA players get ~50% of the BRI regardless if everyone has a max or a minimum contract. Klay taking $50 million less means $50million gets spread out among every other player over that time. They use a escrow/refund system to ensure this. Also, I love this thread but the last few pages were such boring recycled arguments from both sides. Can't we all just agree that Kevin Durant is a bitch and leave it at that?

Salvor_Hardin posted:basically what cbm said. They are super switchy and their core can all defend 1-4. They can all hit a 3 (even Baynes sometimes!) so they can effectively space the floor and keep all cuts live. So if these kinda players can make a team that should be medium good into a really good team, then that should (in theory) mean that in the next draft everyone should be drafting switchy shooters. Is it just that these players are rare? Or is it that this is a new market inefficiency and people haven't realised yet?

Thanks for all of the interesting replies. Even with all of the above being true, do you guys still feel like it's quite a lot of luck that they are *this* good?

Sure your body won't ever actually be the same again... But if Rose can keep convincing people his body is worth millions, then so can you. Perception = reality

boop the snoot posted:So he would need help? From a prime Dirk or Kobe or Durant? Ok man. But seriously the West has been so stacked because it has consistently fielded teams with multiple great players: Kobe and Pau, Spurs, GSW, OKC. Their are five players on the court. LeBron and four corpses can't beat a super team... Not sure how that detracts from his legacy at all. Jordan never won the finals with the Wizards. So what?

MourningView posted:Embiid would be fine, but there are probably legit concerns as to what exactly Simmons would do off ball. Also you completely ignore those concerns and do it anyway because it's loving LeBron James LeBron plus an improved Embiid would be v hard for the warriors to handle. Add Simmons and how the hell are the tiny Hamptons five going to defend them? Whereas I feel that team could defend the warriors ok. Embiid is pretty mobile and could probably deal with some of the switching if he had LeBron playing help.

Also Simmons-LeBron PnR would be interesting. Could even switch up who is the ball handler constantly. Which team has two guys big enough and fast enough to guard that (even if you can go under the screen because of Simmon's shooting). E, FB. Nice.
