i don't think it's really shortsighted to think that wahtever team lebron and curry are on are favorites to make it to the finals for the next 5 years, or i guess until lebron finally starts breaking down, which will admittedly probably happen in the next 3 years

the nba could eliminate:

- Nuggets
- Jazz
- Suns
- Grizzlies
- Bucks
- Timberwolves
- Pistons
- Magic
- Pels
- Hornets
- Raptors
- Nets
- Pacers
- Thunder
- Kings

disperse their talent to the other 15 teams and you instantly have a better league, full of stacked teams that would produce the best most competitive basketball youve ever seen

Um actually the Timberwolves are going to become the best very soon when KAT and Wiggins and Lavine become even better and they're gonna get my dude Ricky a ring.

I really like both Kris Dunn and Zach Lavine and I'm going to miss them both because they're fun and do cool stuff but on the other hand, now the Wolves are going to be way better at winning games so I'm pretty stoked. And they've kept Rubio which is good and right and as it should be. I hope Chicago keeps Zach on ice until the all star weekend, and just lets him out to win the dunk comp.

Sorry Bulls fans, this is a bad deal, but I hope you enjoy your dunk champ nonetheless.

Thanks Mr Mambold, I am for real super excited about Jimmy Buckets being on my team even though his arrival means my favourite player is probably like 4th best on the team now.

EDIT: someone now is probably gonna try to tell me someone else on the wolves is also better than Rubio and I am gonna call that person a butt

Two seasons of 34% shooting versus a recent season of 40% shooting. Sounds like a good opportunity for a bet!

My proposal: if Nick Young shoots below 38% during the 17-18 regular season, I win the bet; if he shoots 38% or better I lose the bet; if he doesn't attempt more than 100 threes the bet is off (regular season only for all this). The bet winnings goes to charity, the winner of the bet gets to name the charity.

Who wants to take me up on a 100% chance to help a charity and a smaller chance to make me look foolish?

I wouldn't do it without a poo poo ton of back and forth deliberation. LeBron's unquestionably better than anyone else in individual talent, but the the Warriors are already arguably the greatest team ever. LeBron would force them to fundamentally change their entire system, possibly for the better, but also possibly for the worse. I'll concede that chances are they'd still be the best team and win the championship either way.

Also, Godzilla had better chemistry with Mothra, Rodan and Barkley anyway.

OK but counterpoint, if you traded LeBron in you would no longer have to play against LeBron.
