    Without Kahwi? Good luck with that. Not sure they will make the WCF if they manage to avoid GSW in the 2nd round. Houston is no joke.

    If they do get Kahwi... we can start talking.

    Although I share your wish, I just don't think he's gonna decline in the next three or four years.

    They don't get past the Rockets, let alone the Warriors. LeBron got pushed by the Pacers and Boston. He'll be a year older trying to check Durant.

    I don't see much of a difference.
    You generally know what other teams are going to be in the playoffs and be contenders to start any season.
    Just because they don't make it to the final game(s) doesn't mean there is parity.
    Jimmy Johnson in 12 years won 7 titles. That's not parity.

    To get Kawhi they would likely have to give up Ingram and kuzma. Lebron and Kawhi together sounds good on paper, but i don’t see how it’s enough to actually contend.

    There wasn't parity before the past 7 years. Now there is. Do you understand parity? Lack of parity in the past doesn't mean a lack of parity in the present... You know what teams are going to be contenders but there's more of them, and any team has a chance. Did you think the Eagles would win the super bowl with a backup QB last season after losing an MVP candidate? That's like Portland winning the NBA Finals after losing Dame to injury.

    Perhaps the greatest basketball player I've ever seen.

    Pelicans just add Elfrid Payton to bench... Blazers lose Ed... we are falling further behind in West every minute

    He's an all-time great. He also got his ass kicked by the Warriors quite a few times. Both things are true.

    Lakers as constructed win about 48 games. This isn't the East.

    That's right. They just signed JaVale McGee.

    We are probably better off tanking at this point anyways, since the best our front office can muster for us is rookies and recent draft busts.
