Could Durant give you a title

[LeChosen One]

Well it wouldn't be as good of a chance as LeBron because Durant clearly isn't on his level..

[antistrat]

Same roster minus Lebron and adding Durant could the Heat win title over spurs in 2015?

Uh. Probably not. How would they beat the Cavs?

[NBADraft2003]

If we had Durant instead of LeBron than we would have won in 2011 and maybe this year because LeBron checked out mentally after the cavs won the first

Don't believe me , bill Simmons said it himself after game 5 and he's one of the most knowledgeable people in the entire nba

Well him and Charles Barkley

Yup. Pretty sure Durant would be locking down rose just like lebron did in 2011, because all that matters in the nba is scoring and how you perform in the finals.

That's it.

Every other series or the whole playoff production is irrelevant.

Durant save us in 2016.

Here's to #DuradeCounty!

We would probably lose to the Bulls in 2011, and lose in both 2012 and 2013.

So 0 titles.

Despite Lebron leaving, he was our key in O and D, I'm not sure any version of Durant can cover both

Sure if he could lead us in points, rebounds and assists. (In other words, no)

he prob would lead us in those categories.

No way in assists.

Rebounds and points? Yes.

If he was the ball handler that bron was playing most of the time, you can also bet his turnover ratio would go up as well. It's bad as it is with his limited playmaking skills.

He probably would lead the team in assists too, unless Wade somehow played high 30s minutes each night while doing the bulk of playmaking (unlikely).

I don't know if it's a troll question or not, but it's an interesting question. I think the team would become better during the regular season simply because Durant is younger, fresher and plays more consistent and better defense during the regular season than LeBron. That team would possibly have home court throughout the playoffs.

Playoff performance, I think they'd be about the same as last year's Heat. One of the title favorites. Spurs and Clippers would still be very dangerous, several other teams would be a challenge too.

It would be an interesting team. Less playmaking ability. Better spaced. Much more reliant on Bosh in the post.

I agree. Durant is a scrub. Only teams with Lebron can win titles.

[KingDavid]

Ok, one more time...Are we including Deng? Because Deng and the rest of our roster + Durant = title. Easily.

Deng and the rest of our roster + LBJ is just as easy, if not easier.

Well there are two sides of the court and Durant doesn't play the one side anywhere near as well as James, so there is that.

Depends if wade is a no show again in the finals.

the truth is lebron failed way worst in 2011 than wade in this finals. The truth is wade sacrificed the most of the big3 , most players would not play or fail with the pain and the mental pain that he had the times we won.
Thats the truth , lebron isnt god. If he was he would be 5/5.

Thanks for confirming LeBron isn't God
LeBron is a better player than Dwade and although i hate the Cavs I'm not stupid enough to deny it
Also, Dwyane Wade played like absolute horse **** in these finals. At least LeBron played good defense in 2011; Wade is almost as bad as Harden
it's okay to be hurt but you gotta let the wounds heal man

[Dupas]

how do yo face smell? you sticking your face 2 much in lebeta's ass.
Wade won without lebron , not the other way around. Sorry to say it to you but lebron cant handle it alone.
Enjoy the cleveland ride because i cannot believe that a TRUE HEAT FAN would **** on wade so bad like some of you are doing. He did play bad but this **** is getting 2 far. Without wade we would have probably 0 chips.

I am a Durant fan, but not a biased basketball fan. Lebrons all around game is way higher than KD's. LBJ was the key to everything that Heat did. One person leading the team in points, assists, rebound. Thats does not even give you a clear picture, he was running the entire offense and best defender. When i say defense, its not like he was just a perimeter defender, he was a safety net for the whole team defense. He would cover up teams help defense by floating around the whole floor. So, when KD can do all this wake me up.

I hope so

[rockersdash]

If we switch LBJ and Durant, then Spurs won't make it past LBJ led OKC.

We would then beat OKC with Durant on our side.
