Saric is allright, a decent pickup for Philly. Don't know about his defense but he's a thinker on offense and has improved his shot over the last couple of seasons.
His strength is in his passing though.

Bender is too overhyped, haven't seen anything from him this season, and while it may be the coaches fault it still doesn't make up for the fact that he didn't shine when he did play.

kek. So because Jordan took a break from basketball to bat .130 we should give him a handicap in comparison of legacy?

If bron wins 3 more chips he's the GOAT in my eyes. People can say Jordan would've won 8 in a row but Jordan has not dealt with the fatigue of playing 6 straight finals while having to adapt to a different team and injuries to star players.

MJ and bron both have the same amount of rings at this age. my guess is bron passes him. bron is going to play longer and isnt a little bitch and wont retired 2 or 3 times like MJ.

Lebron is an otherworldly physical specimen, the fact that he's put his body through 6 straight finals is pretty fucking impressive, his peers (CP3, melo) are all on serious declines
>>
>>68848865
It actually is possible. They'd literally have to waive every FA they have in order to get him. Then you'll essentially have Durant in that starting lineup, plus Bogut, Iggoudala, and Shaun Livingston. They wouldn't be able to afford backups at even an MLE this year. Only minimums after Durant.
>>
>>68848791
Yes. And it just shows how good Jordan was because in only 13 seasons he won 6 rings. Lebron, in 13 seasons, has 3.
>>
>>68848750
you cant compare either of those things. You can't compare an 18 year old lebron to a 22 year old jordan, that's just unfair.

It's not that bad. They can either trade Butler for a high lottery pick tonight then start all over again or go all in for free agency building around him.

I've said it for two years and now the cavs proved it

Attack him on the defensive end since he's a bad defender anyway and it will wear him down

Switch on him at all times and if a guy is overmatched (like love was in game 7) just force him to drive and have a good wing of big to protect the rim

His eFG% is lower when he drives versus when he gets that screen three

My bad thought you meant this year, but still that was when he went berserk in either February or March and had like 9 triple doubles in a month or some ridiculous shit. I said he deserved it that year too but admittedly didn't consider the playoff shit.

By using that as your best argument you really only validate Lebron as better whether you realize it or not

Face it, bird wasn't making that chase down block on iggy, and he wasn't taking down any 73 win teams with his all around dominance

Bird, Michael, or anyone for that matter ever led the whole series in all 5 categories, Lebron just did it in a finals against a 73 win team

Injury is an even stupider argument you spaz. Tracy McGrady might have been a top 20 player all time if he hadn't been injury prone, but we don't put players in the top 20 based on the logic that they MIGHT have been that good if not for injuries.

Resilience is another aspect in which we judge a player's all-time greatness.

Depends on if Batum and Lin come back. If they lose either one and don't get a replacement of similar caliber they are screwed. They also need someone to protect the rim and shouldn't have given up on Biyombo honestly. The team got killed in the paint by Miami because Cody Zeller was their main defensive presence.

It looks like Colangelo wants to trade Noel; IMO if Embiid is healthy it makes sense to keep the scoring big than the one who protects the rim.

Okafor is much better value for money too; he still has three years in his rookie contract. This is Noel's final year. So, yes, if I were Philly I would be shopping Noel.

I have no clue what kind of deal Ainge wants.
>>
>>68849596
It's true though. There's obviously always a bit of refball every year to keep series' close, and this year was no exception, but 2006 was a level above your run-of-the-mill refball.

Refs gifted that series to Miami.
>>
>>68849636
I'm 75% sure Embiid will miss at least 60 games this season if not the whole season.

I'd shop Okafor if I were them.
