Are LeBron, Kawhi, and Kemba enough to take out the Warriors?

[LastNameEver]

If everybody on GSW has to go all out it will be scary.

I dont think we've witnessed it yet. So its hard to measure up.

[Guest202]

why would anyone think Kemba is part of the solution to GSW?

[LakerLegend]

You need a big who can cause problems downlow on both offense and defense.

[Benedict_Boozer]

Yes. But they dont even need Kemba. Give LeBron Kawhi (assuming hes still the same player) and its over.

Pretty much this. If Lebron is still Lebron (father time is undefeated) and Kawhi is healthy, GSW is in trouble.

[Guest202]

There's no taking out the Warriors.

This. I feel these trades are just going to embolden the Warriors. Like they'll quickly shake that lackadaisical dynasty vibe if they have some exciting new challengers.

I'm so sick of you people here disrespecting Kemba.I take him over any pointguard in the east and yes even that overrated Kyrie.

Sure

But what part of what you mentioned is helpful against GSW?

I mean . . . is this stockholm syndrome from being a Charlotte fan, so you don't know how high level basketball operates? Did you not watch the WCF?

Maybe the part that he is very good at basketball, especially on offense, and you need to score points to win basketball games?

Imo, Lebron-Kawhi would be right up there with Shaq-Kobe, Jordan-Pippen, and Kareem-Magic as one of the greatest duos of all time.
Kawhi can check any elite wing scorer in the league and make him inefficient, including Durant, and Lebron can score almost at will on any team in the league, including the Warriors. They are a match made in heaven for where the league is at right now.
Forget a traditional point guard. George Hill or some other combo guard would be fine. Just put some shooters, defenders and a rim protector around them and go to work.

This is the end of the thread - playoff LeBron and a healthy Kawhi and some semi-decent role players to fit around them can win the title. When last seen healthy Kawhi was arguably the second player in the world.

Thank god you're not a GM

The warriors are the anti LeBron team.


LeBron team meaning he controls the ball and he does all the work and only have finishers and spot shooters around him...

Until LeBron changes his game to be more of a Draymond Green as someone who does all around game but doesn't limit his teams individual talent from shining out he won't beat a warriors team that can switch to isolation with Durant or brute force death lineup with great ball movement

Feels like you somehow missed GSW's playoff runs the last few years

[CS707]

LeBron and Kawhi alone aren’t enough in the sense that you can throw any old cast of scrubs around them and expect to win. LeBron, Kawhi, and a solid cast of complimentary players has a good shot. So to the original point, yes adding Kemba gets them in the conversation.

[Nick Sigler]

The Lakers as presently constructed gave the Warriors some problems last year. They have the length defensively to make life tough on Curry, Durant and Klay.

The problem with people like you is that you still think that 2016-17 Cavs lacked offense in any way. Their problem was defense.
Kawhi is a tier above Kyrie as a player.

If LeBron + Kyrie can create elite offense then so can Kawhi + LeBron.

Kawhi in the last playoffs he played:
27.7 PPG on 52% shooting and 45% from 3 on 4.6 attempts per game in 12 games.

Didn't Rockets just prove you wrong a few weeks ago that Warriors ball is not the only way to win right now?

yes I did and give Lebron a real Pointguard like Kemba and they can do some damage and not even talking about if they also get Leonard that be one hell of a Big 3.

[ILOVEIT]

Yes. If LeBron and Love can almost beat the Warriors in game one on the road...then I think having two of the top 5 players in the league and a legit point guard would have a chance. Houston could have beaten Warriors with Harden and CP3....so why not LeBron and Kawahi?

I watched this years Finals, Cleveland should have won games 1 and 3. Replace George Hill and JR Smith with Kemba and Kwahi....

Actually, your right, you need either JR Smith or JaVale McGee to win a title.

[OptionZero]

Sorry, if I don't think kemba is swinging a GSW matchup. Enjoy your family dinners with him?

[ninjamilk23]

I'm not even sold with Kawhi, LeBron, and George to take down GSW.

If all 3 decide to join Lakers, I hope they don't get rid of everyone. Keep Randle and Kuzma if possible.

[Carlos_Danger]

Sure, with the right supporting cast. Lebron, Kawhi, and Kemba >>> Harden, Paul, and whomever you consider the Rocket's 3rd best player, who had the Warriors down 3-2 with their great supporting cast.
