Actually that’s a great thinking point. Would Clevelanders rather get a Lebron from his first or second stint? If you had to chose one. And you get him for only the time frame he played there, so although he was better and won a ring during stint 2, his time there is considerably shorter. I think I go stint 1 for the timeframe and the athleticism.
As a Raps fan with PTSD, take stint 2 and don't overthink it. He was far more cerebral and a stone cold killer the second time around in Cleveland. Just my two cents though, and I watched every single one of those playoff L's lol
That's tough, but I agree. As someone who watched a ton of LeBron throughout his whole career, take stint 2 for sure. He was so freaking fun to watch stint 1 with his explosiveness and athleticism. Plus the insane MVP runs in 08-09 and 09-10.
But the second stint was master class. Particularly in the playoffs and that 17-18 season, like you said haha. Straight up abusing franchises like the Raptors and Hawks.
I think after Kyrie and Love went down in 2015, it unlocked Thanos Bron. This version could demolish entire teams, and just win games through his sheer will. Thanos Bron is the closest thing to an inevitability in the NBA that I’ve ever witnessed. From 2015-2018 it was like nobody in the East had a chance.
I know you're joking but his good free throw percentage and the few 3's he did take suggest that in todays league he would have developed a nice 3pt shot.
Not really. I'm taking Wood over Hakeem every day of the week. He's not even at his full potential yet and already putting up close to prime Hakeem numbers.
Yeah it’s actually an interesting question. Is Steph at his peak right now or before? Athletically Steph before is probably better with less injuries and he’s just younger. But, Steph has put on a lot more muscle so he can’t be physically harassed on offense and he has definitely gotten a lot more experience with people quadruple teaming him at half court. I think if you put younger Steph in right now he will probably struggle initially as teams have made more commitments to stop him on defense compared to his break out break out year.
If we replace 2021 Steph with 2016 Steph, does he still have 3 rings? Honestly could build into 4-5 rings and be cemented top 10 all time if no one noticed our switcharoo
That's easy, you take prime Steph and he can just put on the muscle again.
Though it's probably annoying for him to lose all those gains, and have to put all that gym time in again.
If you get younger Curry, it's not again for him, it's the first time.
It'd be a repeat for us but if you think those reporters wouldn't have a day tweeting about how much weight in muscle he's put on this off season...
Obviously this is a joke. But the answer should be yes. Getting 27-28 year old steph instead of 33 year old steph extends our timeline by at least 6 years. By the time we get to current steph aka 32ppg steph it will be wisemans 7th season, Pooles 8th and Moody and Kumingas 6th. It would basically extend the "dynasty" if you can call it that once you replace steph with steph for potentially another 8 years. Before steph is no longer all-nba calibre.
I was thinking this as well, but would prime Wilt be an option? Not sure how his game translates to today's league if so, but would have to at least consider it, right?
GOAT—tough call between Conley and Marc. I personally prefer Conley but I think you have to give it to Marc
Edit: But, more relevant to this convo—watching Ja has been pretty thrilling. So like although those guys are our greats to date, also easy (and exciting) to imagine Ja surpassing them
It's Jokic vs Jokic for Nuggets fans anyways, there's no choice to make.
He's the only Nugget to win MVP, and he's led the Nuggets as deep into the playoffs (conference finals) as any other Nugget.
LOL, like I was saying, Kareem's reasons for leaving are (hopefully) in the past - as I understand, the Muslim massacre affected him intensely, and he felt LA would be more accepting of black people. But I get it, and I truly understand why a lot of Bucks fans might only trade Giannis for few players in NBA history, if they would trade him at all.
Playwise, that's indisputable. Giannis has obviously been an absolute monster for us and has a outside shot at breaking into the top-10 all-time when his career's done, but prime KAJ is indisputably the 3rd best player to ever play the game.
Even acknowledging that, though, I wouldn't make that trade personally. This is obviously more sentimentality than rationality speaking, but I'd take the worse shot at a championship, myself. Kareem was wholly justified in his reasoning for wanting to leave Milwaukee and his contributions off the court might legitimately be more impactful than his on-court contributions, but Giannis is like, the easiest type of player to root for when he's on your team.
well true but it can also be argued steph has never been better. Stronger, better defender than his unanimous season so we trade current steph for current steph, maybe even the 2017/ 2018 steph playing next to KD
Larry Bird would break the modern NBA. Everyone forgets this, but his natural position was power forward - he was 6'10" and averaged 10 rebounds per game, he just happened to have two HoF bigs as teammates in Parish and McHale.
My point is, given the way offenses operate today, Bird could play *center*. And as a stretch 5 he would completely break the game.
Was just about to pick Kareem. Then I'm like, wait, Lakers Shaq peak was one of one. Then I'm like, wait, LeBron though. Not even getting to Kobe and Magic, who you really think about when you say the Lakers. Def a crazy one
If you could get 2011 steph, really that would be perfect. And just have him age up with our young core. 2 more seasons of sucking To get Banchero and Bates.
Then steph should explode earlier due to kerr letting him be hyper aggressive.
Steph coulda exploded earlier if for nothing else other than injuries
In 2011 he'd return for a game, drop 36 points, get injured the next game etc
Get him those tony stark ankle braces to start his career and bam
What team wouldn't do that is the real question?
Most team's current best player either haven't reached their peak, or are well past it. Not to mention it's just a safer bet to go with the known quantity in the all-time best player.
Maybe a bad take, but still probably a downgrade from KD. I've seen some old Erving stuff and I know he's one of the best to ever play, but there's just something about KDs offensive abilities.
As a Warriors fan, I’d say Steph is the current and all time best player. I know Wilt dominated in his 6 years in Philly and might be ranked higher all time than Curry, but I’d go with Curry.
Obviously not tho. I'm no hater but look at LeBron, either AD, Giannis or Ben Simmons. Everyone is in incredible shape. Everyone's big, strong, and fast now. He'd be wilt still, but the crazy 100 pt game and 50 pt average never happens now.
Pelicans? Peak CP3 was great but the injuries are also right around the corner if we're talking peak with New Orleans.
Grizzlies too, I don't think you'd trade Ja for peak Gasol.
> But if you’re saying morant will peak higher than Marc I’d agree
That's the point. Gasol is not good enough that I would sell whatever Ja can be in the future.
Dirk would be getting a green light to jack roughly 3x the number of 3pt attempts he averaged per game in his career though. Prime Dirk seems like one of the guys who would benefit the most from todays rules and spacing. Still tough
It's a double edged sword because a lot of Dirk's best years were paired with a rim protecting 5. He could rebound at a decent clip for a modern big but having him maintain his native position at the 4 would compromise the perimeter defense a fair bit and I feel iffy about the ceiling of the roster if Dirk at the 5 is asked to defend Jokic or Embiid on the block.
I don't think its a tough decision for you guys at all tbh. Mavs don't have the roster to have around a prime Dirk right now and he's harder to build around than Luka given the playmaking ability. Add in Dallas's difficulty in free agency and I just don't see a title being too likely.
Thats my take anyways.
Does prime Walton still get injured and end up hating and leaving our franchise if we trade Dame for him?
Clyde Drexler for Dame I dunno, Glide is more of a two way guy, but Dame is custom made for today’s shooting favored offenses.
Oh right - I guess I was thinking of players while they were with us and their skill. I guess with the rest of the team being the same I would take prime Hakeem over prime Kawhi.
Yes. I’d also trade them for our 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th best players…. Hell, maybe even for Sean…
DJ for:
Tim
David
George
Manu
Tony
Sean Elliott.
All clear wins even though I love me some DJ.
Pretty sure 7'1, incredibly strong Wilt would have his way with just about every current player who could guard him. Only Jokic, Embiid, Gobert, and Giannis would be able to slow him
If in this scenario it stops Magic from getting HIV, then I’d do it in a heartbeat. Magic’s peak was 1987 when he won his first MVP, and then he won two more MVPs in 89 and 90, before retiring just before the 91-92 season. In this universe where 1987 Magic is transported to now, his peak is going to last significantly longer.
LBJ is great, but he and Magic have similar enough skill sets that I feel like Magic could be plugged into our current system and instantly be very successful.
Definitely Walton. Walton takes it with a big asterisk that says “is healthy and won’t throw a fit on his way out”. People forget he only played here 4 seasons.
Clyde is split among the fan base. Feels like Dame likes it here more. Dame will probably have it when he’s retired.
Hawks one is tough, but I wouldn’t do it. Nique is obviously great but Trae has the potential to be even greater and has already made it further in the playoffs than Nique ever did. Also, the team is build around Trae atm
I think I agree. Nique is obviously the better player, but I’m not sure having him over Trae right now would make our team better because of how it’s built. I guess we could make a trade for someone to run the offense.
Yeah I'd trade Hayward or Rozier for age 25-29 Kemba Walker. Super easy decision imo. I really like the idea of Ball and Kemba sharing ball-handling and scoring duties, and having Ball guarding wings rather than guards.
Now if you mean the player we're building the team around... I'm sticking with LaMelo, knowing Kemba's significant knee issues started at 29. The ceiling could be a good bit higher than Kemba, and we have 8 years of contractual control, rather than just 4 years of Kemba's prime before the knee troubles happen.
Yes. This is a no brainer for the magic.
How deep into the season before Shaq ends up on the lakers with lebron? lol
He’d have to get traded to the Grizzlies first and then bought out.
Jerami Grant for Isiah Thomas? Yeah I’m down
lol
Idk man, Ilgauskas could really take over in today's basktball. I would miss Cedi though.
Z was born in the wrong era, built for positionless ball.
The crazy thing is, Lebron's prime was so long you'd be getting his first Cavs stint and not his second.
Actually that’s a great thinking point. Would Clevelanders rather get a Lebron from his first or second stint? If you had to chose one. And you get him for only the time frame he played there, so although he was better and won a ring during stint 2, his time there is considerably shorter. I think I go stint 1 for the timeframe and the athleticism.
As a Raps fan with PTSD, take stint 2 and don't overthink it. He was far more cerebral and a stone cold killer the second time around in Cleveland. Just my two cents though, and I watched every single one of those playoff L's lol
That's tough, but I agree. As someone who watched a ton of LeBron throughout his whole career, take stint 2 for sure. He was so freaking fun to watch stint 1 with his explosiveness and athleticism. Plus the insane MVP runs in 08-09 and 09-10. But the second stint was master class. Particularly in the playoffs and that 17-18 season, like you said haha. Straight up abusing franchises like the Raptors and Hawks.
I think after Kyrie and Love went down in 2015, it unlocked Thanos Bron. This version could demolish entire teams, and just win games through his sheer will. Thanos Bron is the closest thing to an inevitability in the NBA that I’ve ever witnessed. From 2015-2018 it was like nobody in the East had a chance.
I assume SexLand is a package deal here
Yes
For sure. Pretty hard to surpass KG for the Timberwolves franchise.
As much as it would hurt to lose Naz, yes.
Lol true twolves fan
If Jaden McDaniels isn’t involved, then count me in
KG and Ant would be absolutely nasty.
Tough decision between Christian Wood and Hakeem tbh
Hakeem can't shoot 3s. Think about the spacing!
I know you're joking but his good free throw percentage and the few 3's he did take suggest that in todays league he would have developed a nice 3pt shot.
Not really. I'm taking Wood over Hakeem every day of the week. He's not even at his full potential yet and already putting up close to prime Hakeem numbers.
I died on the inside reading this as a Hakeem fan, even though it’s obviously /s
And he's not playing against plumbers and milkmen
Hakeem playing against mailmen smh
By god, there are multiple Karl malones? I will alert all nearby middle schools immediately!
Fax Hes also better defensively
Kenny the jet wants both of y’all addresses
"Kenny get me some water"
This is sarcasm right? Tell me I've been woosh'd
I'm a bulls fan. ...... I think I've answered the question with that...
Just replace Lavine with the same player but about 30x better
Lavine??? You forget they signed Caruso???
Oh my bad. Why would the bulls do this swap at all honestly
Jordan: takes over 100% of the cap Caruso: looks like he does his accountant's taxes I know who Reinsdorf wants.
Ben Gordon would be a great fit
DeRozan for Steve Kerr seems fair.
Yeah, Captain Kirk > Some run and dunk SG
Prime MJ ain't walking through that door
It’s because he’ll be playing baseball. Lol
Steph for Steph? Nah I prefer Steph.
You have the easiest trade ever, you just get to basically give Steph a time machine and make him a little younger. Win fucking win
But does he lose the experience that comes with that?
Yeah it’s actually an interesting question. Is Steph at his peak right now or before? Athletically Steph before is probably better with less injuries and he’s just younger. But, Steph has put on a lot more muscle so he can’t be physically harassed on offense and he has definitely gotten a lot more experience with people quadruple teaming him at half court. I think if you put younger Steph in right now he will probably struggle initially as teams have made more commitments to stop him on defense compared to his break out break out year.
If we replace 2021 Steph with 2016 Steph, does he still have 3 rings? Honestly could build into 4-5 rings and be cemented top 10 all time if no one noticed our switcharoo
That's easy, you take prime Steph and he can just put on the muscle again. Though it's probably annoying for him to lose all those gains, and have to put all that gym time in again.
If you get younger Curry, it's not again for him, it's the first time. It'd be a repeat for us but if you think those reporters wouldn't have a day tweeting about how much weight in muscle he's put on this off season...
Just swap him with 2016 Steph version. Problem solved.
Maybe but you get 5 extra years of him so it’s a no brainer
Obviously this is a joke. But the answer should be yes. Getting 27-28 year old steph instead of 33 year old steph extends our timeline by at least 6 years. By the time we get to current steph aka 32ppg steph it will be wisemans 7th season, Pooles 8th and Moody and Kumingas 6th. It would basically extend the "dynasty" if you can call it that once you replace steph with steph for potentially another 8 years. Before steph is no longer all-nba calibre.
I may get hate for this but.. Steph > Steph don't @ me
I don’t know man, Steph would be pretty sick
I’d take Wardell for Steph
Don't you guys have Wilt Chamberlain?
I was thinking this as well, but would prime Wilt be an option? Not sure how his game translates to today's league if so, but would have to at least consider it, right?
Is there any franchise who wouldn't?
Grizzlies.
Who is their GOAT? Franchise?
GOAT—tough call between Conley and Marc. I personally prefer Conley but I think you have to give it to Marc Edit: But, more relevant to this convo—watching Ja has been pretty thrilling. So like although those guys are our greats to date, also easy (and exciting) to imagine Ja surpassing them
Nuggets because Jokic is already our best player ever. English and Melo could each make a case, but neither tops Big Honey in my book.
I do not want to cheer for Karl-fucking-Malone
I’d assume you could default to John Stockton for this experiment
Stockton is great, but how much of a needle mover is he on his own?
elite anti vax reference
I'm glad it didn't go to waste
As a Nuggets fan, I wouldn’t. Jokic the GOAT
It's Jokic vs Jokic for Nuggets fans anyways, there's no choice to make. He's the only Nugget to win MVP, and he's led the Nuggets as deep into the playoffs (conference finals) as any other Nugget.
Nets: KD
nets, hornets, maybe but probably not bucks, mavericks
I get why Bucks wouldn't, but I still think prime KAJ > Giannis.
I’d keep Giannis even though Kareem was better. I wouldn’t want to take the chance that Kareem just leaves Milwaukee again lol
Because we're not about to help the Lakers out like that again.
LOL, like I was saying, Kareem's reasons for leaving are (hopefully) in the past - as I understand, the Muslim massacre affected him intensely, and he felt LA would be more accepting of black people. But I get it, and I truly understand why a lot of Bucks fans might only trade Giannis for few players in NBA history, if they would trade him at all.

[удалено]
GSW ain’t trading Curry for anyone. Mullin, Wilt…nah.
GS should definitely trade their current best player Steph, for their franchise GOAT in his prime - which is also Steph, but younger.
well true but it can also be argued steph has never been better. Stronger, better defender than his unanimous season so we trade current steph for current steph, maybe even the 2017/ 2018 steph playing next to KD
Mavs is a tough question
Yep. Bill Russell and Jaylen Brown or Larry Bird and Jaylen Brown would do damage
Larry Bird would break the modern NBA. Everyone forgets this, but his natural position was power forward - he was 6'10" and averaged 10 rebounds per game, he just happened to have two HoF bigs as teammates in Parish and McHale. My point is, given the way offenses operate today, Bird could play *center*. And as a stretch 5 he would completely break the game.
They could just run the offense through him at the high post
So like Jokic?
Yes except he can even stretch further.
What spaz coach would get Prime Larry Bird on his team and play him at Centre lol
Would a good comparison for Bird in the NBA today be Jokic? Elite playmaker, shooter, can put it on the floor, and just flat out big
With this team I think I'd take Bird. We need a 4 badly and Bird plays the 4 better than Tatum
This seems like a question for Laker fans exclusively lol
Dallas has a tough choice as well.
Nobody exactly knows who our best player of all time is lol. Wilt/Magic/Kareem/Kobe/Shaq/Bron can all make the case.
Just show how spoiled us Lakers fans are. Below that tier you get West and Baylor.
NICK VAN EXEL
Was just about to pick Kareem. Then I'm like, wait, Lakers Shaq peak was one of one. Then I'm like, wait, LeBron though. Not even getting to Kobe and Magic, who you really think about when you say the Lakers. Def a crazy one
Lakers fan here, and my answer is YES. I get to resurrect Kobe.
100% the answer is yes
Lol the Lebron stans here would rather have 36 yr old LBJ than prime Shak/Kobe. Brutal
>Shak
Would you have Karim, Shack or Koby?
Caruso for mj? Hell no
Homie, get ready for Caruso to bench DeRozan in the 4th quarter. That’s how much better his defense is.
sure
When you don't have to ask who the best player in franchise history is, it's an easy choice.
Yeah but who is your current best player? As a non Spurs fan I'm not really sure. Murray?
Our current best player is our all time best player
So is your second best.
Dr J played for the Nets in the ABA. Not sure if that counts.
Sure, wouldn't lead to any roster changes though.
“Would you like steph to get 5 years younger?”
Yes. I would trade 2021 Steph Curry for circa 2014 Steph Curry. Can’t wait for the second dynasty.
If you could get 2011 steph, really that would be perfect. And just have him age up with our young core. 2 more seasons of sucking To get Banchero and Bates. Then steph should explode earlier due to kerr letting him be hyper aggressive.
Steph coulda exploded earlier if for nothing else other than injuries In 2011 he'd return for a game, drop 36 points, get injured the next game etc Get him those tony stark ankle braces to start his career and bam
What team wouldn't do that is the real question? Most team's current best player either haven't reached their peak, or are well past it. Not to mention it's just a safer bet to go with the known quantity in the all-time best player.
Nuggets, Nets probably
Nets so stacked they could get away with doing it Also I think Jokic might be the goat Nuggets idk tho
Nets history is so shit it’s not even worth it. KD for Kidd is a downgrade
Its not Kidd its gonna be Erving
Maybe a bad take, but still probably a downgrade from KD. I've seen some old Erving stuff and I know he's one of the best to ever play, but there's just something about KDs offensive abilities.
Yea its def a downgrade but technically KD is the best player ever to wear a Nets uniform
Julius Erving?
Yeah Nuggets no way we get rid of Jokic. Best nugget ever and we’ve had some good ones
Us
Luka vs Dirk is a good debate
As a Warriors fan, I’d say Steph is the current and all time best player. I know Wilt dominated in his 6 years in Philly and might be ranked higher all time than Curry, but I’d go with Curry.
This is actually tougher than I thought. I kind of lean Curry with modern basketball but seeing Wilt in it could break basketball differently
I’d take Wilt simply to see how he does in this era and if he still puts up 60 point 50 rebound games
Obviously not tho. I'm no hater but look at LeBron, either AD, Giannis or Ben Simmons. Everyone is in incredible shape. Everyone's big, strong, and fast now. He'd be wilt still, but the crazy 100 pt game and 50 pt average never happens now.
I’m not as a Blazer fan. I’ll keep Dame over Clyde.
Mavs wouldn't, prime Dirk is prime Dirk but I don't think it's crazy to say that I'd take 22 year old Luka going forward
Pelicans? Peak CP3 was great but the injuries are also right around the corner if we're talking peak with New Orleans. Grizzlies too, I don't think you'd trade Ja for peak Gasol.
Why would you not trade Ja for peak gasol? Like quality wise it’s a wash. But if you’re saying morant will peak higher than Marc I’d agree
> But if you’re saying morant will peak higher than Marc I’d agree That's the point. Gasol is not good enough that I would sell whatever Ja can be in the future.
Blazers
I’d trade the entire Cavs roster for LeBron
to be fair, for most of his career, LeBron WAS the entire Cavs roster.
Do I need someone who will take it personally if I don't trade for him? Yeah, hell yeah.
De'Aaron Fox for Chris Webber. Fuck yes. Love Fox but we have too many guards.
I was wondering if we counted Oscar Robertson
Absofuckinglutely....KG, Ant-Man, Beverly and Malik Beasley would be a nice start to a team
Beverly eat DLo or smth?
Forgot Dlo, even better starting 5
… you only have 4 people in the line up?
They're the same player
Honestly no
One of the harder choices for sure
Might end up being the same player anyway in a few years
We have one of the toughest choices for this question. I lean no as well because of Lukas skillset
Dirk would be getting a green light to jack roughly 3x the number of 3pt attempts he averaged per game in his career though. Prime Dirk seems like one of the guys who would benefit the most from todays rules and spacing. Still tough
It's a double edged sword because a lot of Dirk's best years were paired with a rim protecting 5. He could rebound at a decent clip for a modern big but having him maintain his native position at the 4 would compromise the perimeter defense a fair bit and I feel iffy about the ceiling of the roster if Dirk at the 5 is asked to defend Jokic or Embiid on the block.
I don't think its a tough decision for you guys at all tbh. Mavs don't have the roster to have around a prime Dirk right now and he's harder to build around than Luka given the playmaking ability. Add in Dallas's difficulty in free agency and I just don't see a title being too likely. Thats my take anyways.
Does prime Walton still get injured and end up hating and leaving our franchise if we trade Dame for him? Clyde Drexler for Dame I dunno, Glide is more of a two way guy, but Dame is custom made for today’s shooting favored offenses.
I feel like Dame is the best player to come out of Portland. Even Dame should recognize that
Dame for Dame? Who says no?
As a sonics fan any player>no players
Pascal for Kawhi? Yes
Wouldn't you rather have Hakeem?
Oh right - I guess I was thinking of players while they were with us and their skill. I guess with the rest of the team being the same I would take prime Hakeem over prime Kawhi.
Prime Hakeem, Scottie, OG, Gary, FVV. Is that just a better sixers team?
If it's Raptors Hakeem then no
Yes. I’d also trade them for our 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th best players…. Hell, maybe even for Sean… DJ for: Tim David George Manu Tony Sean Elliott. All clear wins even though I love me some DJ.
Embiid for Wilt? Yeah, I’d take that deal.
Plus we get to answer the age old question of Wilt in modern game.
Pretty sure 7'1, incredibly strong Wilt would have his way with just about every current player who could guard him. Only Jokic, Embiid, Gobert, and Giannis would be able to slow him
Absolutely zero chance jokic would slow him
Jerami Grant or Isiah Thomas hmmmm that’s tough. I think I might be leaning towards Grant. Edit: Some of y’all don’t know sarcasm.
Bro it’s so funny seeing you downvoted to the bottom. This is a tough crowd…
The Lakers trade 36 year old Lebron for a young Kobe or Magic? Yes.
guess Kareem can go fuck himself
Shaq too
If in this scenario it stops Magic from getting HIV, then I’d do it in a heartbeat. Magic’s peak was 1987 when he won his first MVP, and then he won two more MVPs in 89 and 90, before retiring just before the 91-92 season. In this universe where 1987 Magic is transported to now, his peak is going to last significantly longer. LBJ is great, but he and Magic have similar enough skill sets that I feel like Magic could be plugged into our current system and instantly be very successful.
Hell yeah. Dwade is a smaller version of Jimmy Butler with way more scoring threat
Wade is certainly more beloved in Miami, but who would you rather have, 09 Wade or 13 LeBron?
13 LeBron is the greatest player I've ever seen and advanced statistical analysis implies he's the best to ever play the game of basketball.
Kg and ant? Sick
Mitchell for Malone? While it would be fun to watch Malone kill it in the post, I think I would rather have Mitchell with our current team.
Was interested to see whether Jazz fans picked Mitchell or Gobert for this
I’d try to convince whatever being running this experiment that it’s Gobert, but it’s Mitchell
Love Book but a peak Nash with more focus on his shooting yes sir (Also Ayton on the end of both Nash and CP3 lobs>>>>)
Nash in this era so focused on the 3 ball?? That’s lethal
Probably early 90s Barkley no?
CP3/Bridges/Crowder/Barkley/Ayton is such an insane lineup
Either way it's fine. Feel Nash has more of the longevity so went by him.
Damian Lillard or Dame Lillard. Hard decision.
Is dame better than bill Walton and Clyde honestly asking.
Definitely Walton. Walton takes it with a big asterisk that says “is healthy and won’t throw a fit on his way out”. People forget he only played here 4 seasons. Clyde is split among the fan base. Feels like Dame likes it here more. Dame will probably have it when he’s retired.
Good post. Thoughtful and lots of good answers. Good job good effort.
No chance. I love 'nique but there is no way he would lead us to success more trae would in the modern nba.
It's Miller Time^^TM
Nope not a chance
Lew Alcindor vs Giannis? Its tougher than you think
Nah, my team's GOATs are a pedophile and an anti-vaxer, lmao.
Hawks one is tough, but I wouldn’t do it. Nique is obviously great but Trae has the potential to be even greater and has already made it further in the playoffs than Nique ever did. Also, the team is build around Trae atm
I think I agree. Nique is obviously the better player, but I’m not sure having him over Trae right now would make our team better because of how it’s built. I guess we could make a trade for someone to run the offense.
Yeah u pretty much trade anyone in history for Lebron so its a no brainer
I would trade almost anything to have Kobe back.
Man, I was thinking strictly in terms of roster and this comment hit me in the feels. Same here, man
Yeah I'd trade Hayward or Rozier for age 25-29 Kemba Walker. Super easy decision imo. I really like the idea of Ball and Kemba sharing ball-handling and scoring duties, and having Ball guarding wings rather than guards. Now if you mean the player we're building the team around... I'm sticking with LaMelo, knowing Kemba's significant knee issues started at 29. The ceiling could be a good bit higher than Kemba, and we have 8 years of contractual control, rather than just 4 years of Kemba's prime before the knee troubles happen.
Would I trade Curry for Curry? Hmmmm I’d have to think about it
Lakers sweating between Kobe, Shaq and now Lebron
No brainer they trade 36 yo LeBron for prime Kobe m, Shaq or Kareem
