And I don’t get yours. It’s hard for any team to match up against 3-4 future hall of famers in their primes. Even the Cavs didn’t have that firepower, as we saw last year (though they got closer than their record indicated).
Cavs didn't have three future HOF candidates?

Acc to you, KL isn’t in his prime  ;D

And I guess in the NBA he’d be a HOF candidate. But even if he is, 4>3. As we saw, 3 can beat 3.

I am confused. Would you take LBJ, KL and Kyrie or Steph, Klay, and Draymond?

The former. But when you add KD to the mix, the latter

So like I said CLE needed to add one more player. Unfortunately that went down the tubes when Kyrie left.

They still can add the other  KL :). But likely won’t. More likely, if lbj stays, is melo, who won’t help them too much

I have nothing against KL. Just after four years he is finally getting back to the player he was when he left MN. We all know who gets the blame for that.  :P

Why do you act as if Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala weren't also on the team?
The Warriors had by far the best team in the league without KD.

Sorry I don't get your point.
the point is: I don't blame the warriors for wanting and adding KD but it ruined the NBA. They were a coin toss with Cleveland before they added him and now they are in a different stratosphere

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Agreed. I don't know why Harden didn't want to join the Cavs.

Could be some players have respect for the league. Who knows.

Hopefully Lebron goes to the Rockets next year, then we can have some competition again.

Who is 538? No sports book has Houston as favorites.

That’s why it’s weird. Nate silver. He’s usually decent with these things.

Do you also not know why Kyrie wanted off the team?  :)

Both care about money and honor more than rings.

Pick-em!!! No respect for BOS.
ETA: some lines are BOS -1 - -1 1/2 so slight favorites if you want to call it that.
