    That isn't happening. As many fans dislike LeBron, it isn't his fault that the Lakers person in charge/owner is an emotional wreck; that Magic was an absentee President who overruled our scouts (all allegedly,lol), and Pelinka is reportedly hated throughout the league....

    was this guy anything like Lebron? He was before my time, but calling yourself the GOAT.... hmm. Not so attractive in any sport.

    LeBron is freaking fraud .Messi scored today twice , he's almost same age as LeBron ,but it's even impossible to compare them.

    he doesn't like Lebron and doesn't want to leave



    GS wants to keep him, but it will be up to them if they want to pay him the max or not. He's been great/solid surrounded by other stars, but is he a true max type of player with nobody else around him? Can he carry a team by himself? (Lebron will be out 20+ games a year going forward, book it)

    He's got high mileage, and will likely be in the finals 4 out of 5 years if they make it this year. How will that play into his long term durability with his next team?

    His career averages are 19.5 / 3.5 / 2.3

    45.9% from the field
    41.9% from 3
    .848 from the line

    solid, but he's not a max player on stats only. turned 29 in February, so he'll be 30 next year with high mileage relative to his age. Avg minutes are 33.1 a game, so he hasn't totally overdone it. Solid D, and can get as hot as anyone in the history of the game, but I just don't see him as a max player.

    If I had to rank the 4K's for our team next year?


    I'm going

    1. KD
    2. Kawhi
    3. Kyrie
    4. Klay

    If I'm adding others in there, I might even choose Jimmy Butler over him. Jimmy doesn't need others to be effective, but I see Klay as pretty system dependent to be at his best.

    Klay is exactly what this team needs in so many ways. unselfish, man's man, cool, smart, can shoot, and several other things. But I think GSW will not break up their big 3, ever. Durant will leave but they will keep their core. I would do that.

    I agree with this. Klay goes through these inexplicable slumps... very baffling to me. His defense is awesome as he is an elite defender. I bet they will ask him to take less than the max and if that happens the door is slightly ajar for another team to swoop in to get him.

    i'd see if someone is dumb enough to trade a few useful players for green before i have to pony up serious cash for a 5th starter/role player type. durant/steph/klay and 4 little sisters of the poor is a contender. i'm not sure steph/klay/green scares anyone anymore.

    Steph and Klay scares people. Green doesn't move the needle. Regardless of whether or not Durant is there, Steph is a top 5 player in the league and Klay is top 20 (maybe 15) when you consider both sides of the ball.

    haven't scared houston this series. and their entire bench gave them like 7/5/2 last night. they need more useful nba players if durant's going to walk. they're barely getting by despite all the starpower.
