    Off the top of my head: Lillard, Jamal Murray, Klay Thompson, Oladipo, Donovan Mitc all say o. Your list is inaccurate af.

    And Lowry is not a star. If he's a star so is Scrub Ass Draymond Green. And so is DeAaron Fox, among many others. John Wall, Miike Conley, DeRozan, McCollum, Kemba Walker, Middleton, Porzingis, Blake Griffin, Jaylen Brown, Horford, Hayward, Vucevic, Sabonis etc etc etc
    My list is "inaccurate af"?

    It is appropriate for him since he's mentally challenged.
    Should've taken lessons from Rip Hamilton on how to wear a face mask with style...

    No one is arguing Ingram's ceiling being higher or lower than any of our current players. Is he a can't miss, generational superstar like LeBron, Kawhi, Giannis, Curry, Kobe, Harden? No? Then he's not worth losing sleep over.

    I paid more attention to Ingram in our last game with them and thought, "this guy isn't scary." That's not something I've said for those players I listed above, early in their careers.

    Definitive superstars: Durant, Doncic, Jokic, Curry, Harden, S bag, Davis, James, Antetokounmpo.

    Definitive stars: Young, Tatum, Irving, George, Adebayo, Butler, Middleton, Towns, Embiid, Simmons, Booker, Paul, Lillard, Lowry, Gobert, Beal.

    Superstars are players who by themselves, with no other star level player, could get you to the playoffs

    Curry and Davis don't make the cut...AD spent years in NO doing nothing and the warriors have been arguably the worst team in basketball since Klay has been out...


    That makes no sense. He'd clearly be the best building block on the Spurs at the moment, but if your standard is going to be legit superstar, that could easily take decades to come by.

    Says the idiot who has a Derozan screename. Like Dejounte said in his response to you which is Ingram is not on the level of a Lebron,Kawhi,Durant,Giannis. He's not an MVP level player. Sure he has improved but unless he gets to that level I'm not going to lose sleep about not having him since they are ton of 20 point scorers you can draft in this league. They come out every year these days.

    Lol okay...so you would only settle for a superstar...even though we would be better with him...moronic

    I'm not gonna lose sleep, but I'd take a package that included him over one that included DeRozan tbh

    To avoid handing the Lakers another dynasty? To prevent giving Nephew what he wants?

    A BIG FAT ING YES.

    Look beyond the forest to see the trees.

    Dejounte again echoes how I feel about not doing this deal with his response to you. Nothing moronic about it in the sense teams hardly ever win les in this league without superstars. It's pretty rare ala spurs in '14 and Pistons in '04.

    Based on that absurd standard, Jokic, Harden and James are the only superstars in the league.

    Davis was on a perennially injury ravaged, ill fitting roster and the Warriors lost virtually every credible player outside of Curry either through defection or injury.

    Well being a superstar is an absurd thing to be...so yeah it has an absurd standard...so yeah I would put Harden and James in there...I feel like Jokic could be but he hasn't played with a really bad team to know if he can carry them somewhere or not...but I think if he did he could get them the 8th seed at least...

    No way someone like steph is a superstar...he was powerless to stop the warriors from getting killed in the games he played last year...been powerless to do it this year...if he was a superstar they wouldn't be down 20 points all the time to all but the worst teams in the nba AND it took a game winning shot to beat one of those teams...

    At any given time their are no more than 5 "superstars" in the entire nba...

    I'm all for the high standard, but you've gone a step too far by making it seem as if they've all had equal cir stances, which of course is not true. Some haven't even had the opportunity to do what you say.

    Jokic hasn't had a legit second star. Harden mostly has, although through injuries to them he's had to do his share of carrying.

    Curry played 5 games last season and they had a G-League roster surrounding him. This year they've graduated to a bad NBA roster surrounding him.

    Draymond and D angelo made all star teams. Not possible to have a g league roster when you literally have guys who played in the all star game on your team.

    The warriors roster is not good...but it is good enough that they should not be getting blown out by every team other than detriot and chicago, which might be the two worst teams in the league. They have nba level talent on that time. Wiseman is nba level talent, Wiggins is nba level talent, Oubre is nba level talent. Draymond...draymond might not be nba level talent now

    I also blame Kerr more than I blame Steph for them being so bad. But if steph was that good...I just don't think the warriors could possibly be this bad...

    And hey maybe I am wrong... Oubre actually making open shots would go a long way in helping them win a game...

    Curry is unequivocally a superstar, my guy. There's levels to s om, and in most cases, it goes beyond on-court production, both in the good way (players like Jordan having an image and popularity far exceeding their accomplishments in basketball) and the bad way (players (I won't say like Curry though - Iverson is a better example in my mind) who are icons of the game despite a lacking on-court product). As a matter of fact, I'd hesitate calling Jokic a "superstar", for the same reasons that you say there can only be about 5 at any given time on the league... But any way you define it, Curry is a superstar. He's changed the game, he's massively known and popular, he's infinitely influenced a new generation of players.

    Green played 43 games and was not playing at an All-Star level, meanwhile Russell is a classic case of cir stances conspiring to make him a one time All-Star, but he's never truly been that caliber of player.

    So now you're basing this off of a few random games?

    Curry is that good and the team is that bad.
