I'm sticking with LeBron as he is the player who is most likely to guarantee the team is NBA title contender the next 3 years. He is still the best player in the world

N: Simmons (thought about my boy Gobert too)

I'm very late to the party but my vote is for LeBron. I'm actually suprised he's still on the table. I would take 1 year of LeBron knowing I have like a 99% chance of making it to the Finals versus taking a guy like AD or KAT hoping to get there in 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 years.

If he was traded to the West (excluding GSW) and considering what the team he was traded to would have to give up to get him... do you still go with 99% to get to the FInals?

There are also mos def some East teams that would have nothing of value left after a trade to help him get to the Finals FTM. Cleveland would still have good talent plus whatever they get back from the trade so probably a reasonable obstacle in the East.

If anyone traded for any of these players, the team would be in rough shape besides LeBron after giving up the assets. I look at this as if Cleveland and San Antonio discussed a Kawhi for LeBron trade...who says no? I think San Antonio says yes very quickly and Cleveland says no.

AS has been stated, for the purpose of this project, the preferred method is to go with what you think a majority of teams would value the most. That is why the young guys locked in have been trending strong, because many teams would be comfortable gutting their roster and selling off picks knowing they get 4 years of AD or 7 years of KAT, and would definitely not be comfortable doing so for 1 year of Lebron. Now you may think about it by whatever method you chose, but to me the most interesting question is for the general, average joe, run of the mill Detroit and Milwaukee type team out there, for the memphis's and utah's of the world, do you gut your team for lebron/steph or for Kat/ad? That's the way I've been looking at and encouraging others to view my project, but I again I encourage diversity/creativity so do whatever you want man.

Wouldn't all this apply to curry as well? Or Kahwi or AD or anyone really?

Surprised with how the votes have gone. Would have thought if KAT and Davis were over Lebron and steph Kawhi should be too.

I voted Kawhi last round over Steph for just this reason. I am guessing other voters took history into account with seeing both Bron and KD leave teams already and since Steph hasn't been in that position yet...

Bump, need at least 3 more votes.

Also, saying this now, I'm lowering the vote requirement to 15 from here on out. It's taking to long to get 20.

damecurry · Post #15 » by **damecurry** » Sun Jul 31, 2016 7:02 am

Kawhi wins. #5 going up.

damecurry · Post #16 » by **damecurry** » Sun Jul 31, 2016 7:05 am

Also noting that there were more nominations in this thread than any other, and every single nom was for a different guy lol. I just found that amusing.
