ESPN Top 10

[RoseCityRebel]

The year he won with San Antonio he had Duncan/Parker/Manu.

The year he won with Toronto he had Lowry, Gasol, Ibaka.

The times he has won he has been on a team with an established leader. Someone who runs the team. Paul George isn't that guy and the Clips flopped. Sorry but Kawhi isn't someone I would build around. He's a tertiary piece. Put him next to Dame and we win a title. Put him next to another Robin and they don't win shit.

Example - Kawhi/LMA. They didn't win shit.

So you’re saying that it takes more than one All-Star to win a title? I already know this. We live with it here in Portland. I disagree with you on Leonard being “overrated.” No big deal, but there isn’t a wing in the league I’d take over him to pair with Dame on the Blazer roster.

How can someone be a top 5 if they need someone else to be their batman?

Anthony davis?

Anthony davis?

It's arguable whether he's top 5 either. Dude wasn't shit until he got LeBron.

Let me rephrase that. Dude didn't WIN shit until he got LeBron.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Highest rated PG in the league - I think that's a first.

Luka at #4? C'mon man.

That dude is a stone cold assassin. I would take him over Curry and Harden right now!

Is Paul George now making more than ALL these guys?

It doesn't seem like it because the average of his deal is 47.5 million a season and I think max deals have to start low and go up from there. Steph is making about 45.8 next season, so I have to believe PG13 will be making less than that. Dame's contract is even reportedly bigger than Paul Georges. It says that George signed for four years at $190M with a fifth year option. Dame's four year $196M extension starts next season too.

(1) Giannis
(2) AD
(3) Kawai
(4) Lebron
(5) Lillard/Harden

If Durant comes back 100% he’s better than all of the above.

If Curry comes back at 100% he’s #5

Being "ranked by ESPN" as 7th, should we consider his contract a bargan, since he will be the 19th highest paid player?
