    They could trot me out there, let me get cooked all game long, and still win comfortably.

    3 of the top-5. I imagine they’d suddenly have a bunch of top aging vets signing for league minimum to chase rings.

    I stand by what I said. They have the 3 best players in the league.

    Who you taking over Kawhi, LeBron and AD?

    Edit: I guess an argument *could* be made for Giannis over AD, in my opinion.

    Dwight Jaynes: Word now is this is going to take a while… deep into the night, if it get done… Get some rest and report back in the morning.

    Giannis, Harden, and Curry?

    Harden and Curry are non-existent defensively.

    Before the injury, Durant for sure. Not sure now, other than if we’re talking about this season (obviously).

    I’d prefer having a guard like Curry or Dame who could stroke the 3 with 2 of them over 3 forwards.

    Durant tore his Achilles, won’t play next year, and I highly doubt he will be as efficient.

    I was excluding him — you had no way of knowing that though.

    And LBJ is getting old and AD sometimes floats and is injury-prone. They all have some warts to me, other than maybe Kawhi....

    AD, LeBron, and Kawhi can all shoot the 3. So can Kuzma.

    Also, they’re all way better defenders than Curry or Dame.

    Kawhi’s wart is he’s only giving you 60 regular season games, if that matters.

    That’s pretty vague. But I’m starting to get my hopes up. And we all know how that ends up.

    I’ll concede these points.

    Although Curry was viewed as injury prone at one point.

    Amina shoots 3’s as well as LBJ and better than Davis....

    In my opinion, the Lakers should just play them all about 60 games - punt the other 22 - roll into the playoffs around the 4th seed somewhat fresh and healthy.
