Embiid, Jokic, pre-injury KD, Kawhi, that's probably it. They need someone who can score in the half-court. Outside of the Lakers setting a record for transition scoring, their half-court offense was putrid throughout the playoffs.

LeBron + Curry means the other team has no defense to stop them. It would be so absurd that they would just outscore every team.
The disrespect for Curry on this board never ceases to amaze me. LeBron and Curry is the best fit in the history of basketball. 30 point leads wouldn't be safe against them.

There's not a player in the league as unique as AD. His height and his skills are second to none. No one has his offensive skills,plus his ability to guard not only bugs but players on the perimeter.

I’ll get some guff for saying this but I don’t think you can replace AD with Harden and be as good. Not saying Harden is awful or anything but in terms of overall impact I think AD fits better and compliments Lebron more. The Lakers defense will go down a full tier also if you take away AD and bring in Harden.
