Warriors?

Curry goes to the basket more than you think
Durant also a slasher

forgot about Giannis to be completely honest here.. That should be a given though. Only reason I didn't have Westbrook on that list is because I think he's only going to regress from this point forward. Unfortunately age will not help his game like LBJ's.

Yep agreed, I'd venture to add Harden and Durant to that category as well

Not really much to trade for.

There's less than a handful (maybe only 2) of players that can turn around a franchise almost single-handedly and you're not landing them of course.

I've watched the Orlando Magic trade away really good players for years & get nowhere.

WORD

Have to disagree with OP.
The Knicks have to build around him and play to his strengths.
Hardly anyone is "tough" in the NBA today.

I would love to see what Stevens would come up with to utilize him on the Celts.

This is how you build a team, yep, guy is fukkin young and inexperienced... anyone can have a bad year

True the whole NBA is soft as a whole

I do believe he could work out to have a decent career on a different team, Celtics or Spurs perhaps

Celt ics have a bunch of draft picks at their disposal if I'm not wrong

If he stays with NY he'll just end up being another failed Dirk comparison



He is yes, but sure his point average has risen a bit over the last 2 years, everything else seems to have plateaued. No improvements on defense, seems to be a worse ball handler

NBA sucks nowadays

Ha you are so right.

Can you imagine LeBron having to rely on driving to the lane years ago?

Guys like Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason, Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman, etc would make sure he got knocked on his Azz every other possession.

Not only that, you had true centers like David Robinson, Olajuwon, Ewing, Shaq, Mourning, Mutombo, etc. who would be there waiting if he got thru the first wave of defenders, to swat his junk away.

Totally different finesse game today.

Hman, you just mentioned the reason I loved 80s/90s NBA ... game is so feminine nowadays is unreal...

Marketing $$ has changed everything, it's all about protecting the athletes body these days to get another big contact and ad deal

It's even trickled over into soccer, the world cups were better in the 90s when players actually gave a sht ab national pride
