NBA: Batum or Parsons?

[sook]

Mainstrean NBA fans..



Still thinks Noah is good...The third best player for the Bulls is better than the beset Player for the defending champs..

Mainstream dumbass fans..

hard to argue with this kind

I like the response, the irony was overwhelming though GNSF. Kiwi ass pimple kisser , photoshopping his god in jerseys too stupid to realize that playing within the spurs system is the best thing for him. Aren't you like 12 though anyways, how much do you really know? I remember reading that a while back. That or you're HH's troll.

Batum, but none of them over Green.

I will say this though, 15 players on that list are better than Kawhi, so he did prove his point...

[sook]

lot of terrible names on that list

I actually cringed while writing Melo in, almost Irving but just couldn't...but just about everyone of those guys is a better centerpiece for starting a team with. When evaluating players and you're not in that top (8) range, it becomes difficult...mostly because of fit issues. Guy #2 might be worse than guy #9 for a particular team for example...so a centerpiece building block is how I would place a certain value on x or y. Duncan has a load of credentials to back him up , but in that all time list one of the biggest things I feel he has is that he was able to remain a building block for one of the most compe ive franchises in sports for close to 2 decades. Kawi just isn't that guy...he's a damn good player, but not top 15.

Hilarious...

yup.

Put aside the fact that Green is an elite perimeter defender and the best transition defender in the game...

The dude has proven in b2b Finals that he is ing money when he's given an inch of space. How many other shooters can claim that accolade? He set the Finals record for 3s in 5 ing games! Dude is going to get paid this summer. I don't deny he's a product of the system, and had he not been given multiple chances by Pop to prove himself he'd probably be playing in Serbia, but you can't ignore his acomplishments.

Been there done that >>> Potential

Stop making us all look bad you dumbass, there are 15 players on that list far better than Kawhi. Your takes are so bad I'm surprised you haven't gotten banished from upstairs...still remember all that Patty hate before he took a wet on your face? Kawhi is top 25~ and we're lucky to have him.

Your sig is disgusting btw you bandwagoning .

There's only like 6 or 7 players in the NBA to build a team around tbh. Just because Kawhi isn't one of them doesn't mean he isn't a top player.

Players to build around:
Lebron (if he isn't declining as rapidly as it seems this season)
Durant
Davis
Fat Gasol
Cousins (if he's done being a cancer)
Griffin (with a good defensive Center)
Westbrook (with a strong #2)

The rest of those you listed are best as a #2 or #3.

[apalisoc_9]

You don't need your third wheel to be a better all-around player..Parson and Batum are both overall better players, but they are not elite at anything..

Teams that continue to judge value in terms of overall talent will always be ty..The only time you look at overall talent and potential is when they are clearly top 2 players in their teams..neither of these players are top 2 players.

Green is both Elite in the defensive end and three point shooting..That's what you need out of your third best or fourth best player..

You're right, but I didn't say they were good pieces to build around, just that they would be better. He's probably 23ish, but deff. not top 15.

Noah..



I can't stop laughing..

Anyone who thinks Noah is a top 20 player in the league is your definition of Mainstream..

Not even the third best player in a choking team...

No, Leonard is easily Top 20. I'd say 16 or 17 tbh. From your list the bolded players aren't as good:

chris paul
Kevin Durant
RW
Curry
Griffin
CP3
AD
Cousins
Harden
Klay Thompson
Lebron James
Chris Bosh
Jimmy Butler
Noah
Love
Cancer Melo (maybe, can't deny his talent)
John Wall
Beal
Aldridge
Howard (once he gets back from injury)
Lowry
Dragic
Fat Gasol

I'm on the fence about Love; wanna see him on a team where he's a clear #1 or #2 option with complimenting pieces.

How did Bradley Beal enter this conversation, tbh?..he's an above average player that hasn't done anything in the league..
