Has it though... that Dirk team beat the Heatles... three superstars. The game never changes that much. Neither Klay or Draymond are or ever were top ten players, so I guess their championship doesn't count. Wait, who else was top ten on the Raptors when they won it with Kawhi? Who was the other superstar with an over the hill Tim Duncan in 2014? The only all-nba team player they had that season was Tony Parker and he wasn't a superstar, Kawhi wasn't a superstar yet and Duncan was old and not on an all-nba team but somehow they managed to win the title and put the three superstar Heatles down for good. I guess three championships since the league changed so drastically nine seasons ago isn't enough to think that a team without two top ten players could possibly win a championship. That shit up there about Siakam is really something else. First you tell me "at least top 10" and then it's like... oh but Siakam was on the rise, on the rise to what? Do you think Siakam is or ever will be at least top 10?
Yes, if you have the chance to bring in a top 10 player, you do it. However, the only reason to trade Harden is if you want to go young, and while I am very high on our younger players, they are not hot commodities league wide. So, the Rockets wouldn't be interested.
Toronto doesn't win the Championship without KD and Klay getting injured. They were really lucky in the finals. I'm just saying as great as Dame is we need another Superstar to increase the chances of winning a Chip, and i take JHarden immediatly
Dude, come up with whatever justifications you want. You were dead wrong. Teams can still win championships as teams. The game hasn't changed. Teams need real talent in order to win but that talent can be concentrated in two players or spread out over seven. Teams can win either of those ways or some way in between those. You like to speak in absolutes and that is absolutely foolish.
Both need the ball in their hands and both think they should get the last shot. If Dames would be ok with 50% fewer shots and maybe become of a distributor first PG I guess there is a chance it could work. Just my opinion is all. None of us in here no anything for certain when it comes to round ball at this level.
Yes, please! Though I've seen many on here say they wouldn't want Harden, Westbrook, Paul George, etc. We're not winning a championship without another all-star/all-nba player on this roster.
