    Klaw rust if he's back to his usual self all the way, extra burden off of LBJ on defense as well.

    Healthy Kawhi is a top 5 player , Klay is top 20 , there is no debate here .

    1. KD
    2. Kawhi



    3. Klay
    4. Jimmy G ( behind Klay because of fit AND the Thibs factor)

    Yessir!

    Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't complain if we miss out on Kawhi and KD is the contingency (Klay would be dope too)....but Kawhi is my #1 free agent next summer, with AD being my #1 trade target. Hope that's the #2019lan!

    Im arfaid KD is the only player (well beside Gortat and Harden) i would hd a hard time rooting for. Dude is a major p**** in my book. (I feel for sirron and his "bron love" now).

    dude made fake accounts? I could never root for a guy like that.

    Yeah, for whatever reason I'm completely ok with Durant. Dude has the balls to want to take over, and is effective. Solid D.

    Seems like the move to GS caused him a small personal crisis, and some time finding himself, but overall he's been a pretty likable guy, so I can't hate. If he went to GS and coasted to get rings, I'd probably feel differently. However, he was 2 times Finals MVP and took over. He outplayed Bron IMHO. Dude is tall and loooongg.

    hard to complain too much about any of those options really, but like someone said above, we do have a greater need as positions other than SF. If our "other max star" was a Center, holy crapola!

    he's long, but more effective on weak side D than guarding a big guy straight up.

    As long as they are not abused it's perfectly okay.

    I like Luke A LOT - but he has some real pressure on him this season to make to produce. He has done a great job and the team has improved under him 20 games over the last 2 seasons.

    Expecting 48-52 wins, a top 4-5 seed, etc. Let's get it, Luke.

    I like those expectations. I think that's fair.

    Luke has a lot of pressure this year to at least build a championship foundation. Having Lebron helps a lot and also having Rondo as an on court coach will be huge too. Going to be hard to find playing time for a team thats 11-12 deep but theres not a lot of coaches out there I'd trust other than Luke in this position.
