To whom? Drummond?

Bynum and Ariza


Ack. Mixed up my high-potential Andrew stiffs.

Sorry.

Hope so - pretty shameless and embarrassing era when you’ve got all-time greats joining 73 win teams, re-joining teams once they’re stacked, etc. — trying to fast track their way to 5+ titles so fans/media don’t criticize their ring count.

Kawhi/George/Powell is the next super team if Leonard ever gets healthy

Look at Utah, Mitchell is done, he gonna go form a superteam to win a chip and some respect.

All you need is some players who realise you need to go to LA or other big markets to make sponsorship bank, legacy, chips, etc


Yeah, too bad Giannis plays in a small market so he’ll never win a championship, have a legacy, or make sponsorship money. He needs to leave Milwaukee for LA.

Yeah, I think it is over. The problem with the super teams had more to do with 2 MVP candidates joining than who was the 3rd star. Also, the destination matters because If LBJ/Durant stay at Cleveland and OKC, does it become an issue?

Any team with two all-nba (15 players for 30 teams) or 3 all star level players is a Super-Team. It can be artificially constructed or home brewed.

If Kyrie had rolled up his sleeve and LeBron didn't push for WB, would there even be a thread on this?

Less talented stars will take the easy way out.

Also, Giannis would make more in LA, let's be honest.
Space Jam 3 anyone?
He would be great in movies as well
There's just more opportunities in a place like LA

You don’t need to play for a team in LA in order to shoot a movie in LA in the off-season. Jordan played in Chicago while he acted in Space Jam. Ray Allen played in Milwaukee when he acted in He Got Game. Shaq and Penny played in Orlando when they acted in Blue Chips.
