Durant.
There are a ton of caveats that aren't mentioned. Prima facie.. you have to take Lebron. He's the best player in the league RIGHT NOW. A bird in the hand and all that.Lol anyone picking Lebron. would bolt to a superfriends team halfway through that decade
Id pick Lillard or Wall tbh.
Durant.
disagree. IT's not a caveat, it's a fact. The most important thing if you pick Lebron would be to keep him happy, that would have to go over your goal of winning it all. Imho, you MIGHT be successful at keeping him happy for 10 years, but no way you achieve both goals of keeping him happy and winning it all tbh. Lord knows Lebron needed not only being happy, but having a top 10 bigman, a top 5 guard and the best shooter in history to get it done.
Sorry you probably would have better chances picking a team-first guy IMO
It's not a ing fact. You don't know the future so it's a caveat.. it might happen. Davis could do the same thing. Maybe you don't know what the term "caveat" means. You don't have to build around Lebron with rookies or ty players. They didn't do that in Miami. You could bring in other big talent (like Davis) and you'd be a monster. If I was going to have a pick of one player, I'd want the best one on the planet. Anything else is betting on an unproven horse and yes, there are a ton of caveats in any hypothetical that's only a couple sentences long.
it is a ing fact homie. You cannot ignore the fact that Lebron is got the highest maintenance in the league and would bolt in a minute if not happy. THAT IS A FACT that cannot be ignored.
no. disagree, not only would you need to bring in the right players, You would need the right players that will help Lebron be happy and same thing with coaching staff. You basically would need to make the nig happy first and foremost.
or do you think Lebron would still be in OKC if he was in Durant's place?
Davis. Lebron would be a solid choice but if I were a GM for, say, the Lakers I'd take Davis. Much easier to build a team around a big than a wing imo.
Define "soon"
Lebron left at the end of his contract because he wanted to win championships. He played for less money. We sit here and say that a real would go play for less money if he gave a about winning a ring, and Lebron does it and now you said he's high maintenance. He's not even the highest paid player in the league. He's taken his team to 3 consecutive Finals, and been to 4 in total all because of what HE does. If he was high maintenance, he'd be a max contract asshole like Kobe, be riding the pine with a ing knee brace and be tweeting about how ty the coach is or crying to the media about wanting to be traded because he missed the playoffs. He never bolted on a contract, never stirred trade controversy by throwing his coach under a bus. You're just insanely salty at the dude.
If Lebron can play that long with Mo ing Williams, he can do just fine with the talent that would flock to his team for less pay (like he did). You acting like he's got a history of being a rabble rouser is hilarious.no. disagree, not only would you need to bring in the right players, You would need the right players that will help Lebron be happy and same thing with coaching staff. You basically would need to make the nig happy first and foremost.
OKC would have won a couple rings by now if they had Lebron instead of that beta cuck chucker Durant.or do you think Lebron would still be in OKC if he was in Durant's place?
Probably when Lebron gives up the mantle. That could happen after next year if James gets shut out of les until then. Davis is already clearly third right now, and he just need to put together a healthy season or two in order to jump Durant, especially if KD doesn't get a le in that span.
Drummond
Griff's game is based mostly on his ability to jump out of the gym. sooner or later, the landing takes it's toll.
Most super jumpers have short shelf lives. Is what it is.
Lol lebron giving up the mantle after next year.
even so, I can think of 3-4 other players that would scoop up that mantle before Davis.
Who besides KD?
You literally haven't watched him play this season
2014's MVP. I'd pick him, not once, not twice, not three time, not four times, not five times...
yeah its the same phillip was saying. anybody that still thinks that about blake clearly just doesn't watch games and instead reads bleacher report comment sections for analysisYou literally haven't watched him play this season
This. Elite centers are already rare, and that trend is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Barring injury, Davis should be MVP in the next few seasons.
I'd go with Durant tbh.
In part, I think a lot has to do with not only the 1 player you pick to build your team around, but the role players. If you have crappier role players, I'd pick LBJ. If you have a really solid PG and SG, then I'd pick Davis.
Tell that to the Cavs...LOL anyone picking Davis over LeBron. Yeah, I'll take 10 years of being a mid-level playoff team over 5 of being le favorites.
a) LeBron from age 29-38
b) Durant from 25-34
c) Davis from 21-30
d) Griffin from 25-34
It's gotta be between Durant and Davis... everyone saying " the last 5 years" is basically blatantly ignoring the question in OP
I admit, I missed this:You literally haven't watched him play this season
i can find highlights on duncan dunking a lot and say he's only good because he dunks
You also missed this:
Not really understanding any answer besides KD, the only acceptable response I'll take is perhaps you wouldn't want a 35 year old KD but i'd still argue that he will be a top 5 player at that age too. There's no reason his game shouldn't age well, and I'm assuming the dude will work on some type of post game in the coming years too.
You can say whatever you want about his personality, but it's gonna get to a point like it did with LeBron where he is simply too talented as a player to be denied anymore, and that day isn't far off imo. Give me him for the next 10 years and I like my chances of coming away with at least 2 rings
