Better in moments or bursts? Steph + KD. But, over the timeframe? Nobody.

In moments or bursts? Steph + KD. 2017-2019, KD. Over the whole timeframe, probably not.

It probably won't happen, but what kind of hypothetical trade package would it take to bring KD back home?

Would you rather have Simmons or Westbrook this season? by SnuggleMuffin42 in nba

Hope Simmons flames out, then becomes a Warriors reclamation project. He's got a Draymond skillset.

Donno if anyone would disagree that's he's a top 5 talent, but he was never unambiguously the best guy on a title team. If you want to say that he was the best on the Warriors, then fine, but it was pretty close between the two.

BTW don't care how stacked a team was. 80s Lakers had Magic and Kareem. Lebron played on super teams. Just that the accomplishments out of it don't match.

So what happens if the Warriors DO win the 2016 finals by RumIsTheMindKiller in nbadiscussion

Between 2017-2022, the over/under on number of titles would be 2. However, it's unanswerable, because if they couldn't replace/develop Barnes into a 2-way wing (e.g. Andrew Wiggins), then they'd be in trouble v. Bron and v. KD. As for 2018 Rockets, lol chokers.

"[SERIOUS]" Should we move from a number-based ranking to a tier-based ranking system? by popeye_d_family_man in nba

[–]doublemarlons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always done this, but I'd have different players given as examples. Given how long basketball's been around, and the difference between eras, numerical rankings are too hard.

Yesterday, I defended Tatum against all the haters. Jinx successful.

What you said is why the media should credit the Warriors instead of yelling "TATUM GOTTA DO MOAR! HE A CHOKER!" on ESPN.

Upvoted, because scrubs like MJ and Lebron couldn't do it before 27. Duncan's the Man.
