I said Harden and Curry are non existent defensively. You said “so is LeBron at this point in his career.”

He is still vastly superior, without trying, to both of them.

I said he wasn’t trying — not you — but because LeBron has said so himself that he doesn’t go 100% on D during the regular season — yet still is a way better defender. That tells me what I need to know about Curry and Harden defensively.

I dont think Curry or Harden go full blown on d either.

Lebron is a superior defender to Harden and Curry, but Curry is still the guy Id rather have at this point.

But Kawhi and Kuzma can pull the 3 too. So how you gonna clog the lane on a LBJ/AD pnr? Who ya gonna help off of? And most teams won’t be able to honestly guard a LBJ / AD pnr.

Kuzma shot 30% from 3 last year. I believe you are overrating 3/4 of those guys when it comes to shooting 3s. Lebron has hit some big 3s but isn’t a 3 point shooter, neither are AD and Kuzma.
 
So who ended up the worst in the Jimmy Butler musical chairs?
Chicago got Levine.
Minnesota lost Levine but got Saric but now he’s gone.
Philly lost Saric and are getting someone from Miami.
Or did everyone involved get worse?

Fair enough. I think LeBron / Kawhi / AD would smoke Curry / Kawhi / AD.

One Kawhi is gonna be playing SG essentially as well — if it were to happen.

??
Kawhi
Kuzma
LeBron
AD

So whoever said it’s the first all front court big 3 would be incorrect, in my opinion.

Jimmy “Herpes” Butler.

Only difference is Butler eventually fully disappears....

Kuzma shot 37% the year before that.

Once again —

Are you going to leave LeBron and AD wide open on 3s?

You may be right I dont know. They’re all really unique talents, Curry’s size really hurts him in this three on three situation. Personally I think Curry is legitimately the best shooter I have ever seen, the shots he hits regularly are just insanely difficult, he’s incredible, Ive never seen anything like it.
 
Another stupid question... Can Dame take less money in order to sign Kanter just like KD and Kyrie did for DJ?

I was talking about filling a roster around them, not just 3 on 3.

Same exact team — switch Curry for LBJ — and I don’t think Curry’s team would win a series, everything else being equal.

It’s really not important...

I’m just saying, what started this whole conversation, if I’m the Lakers — having Kawhi, AD and LeBron isn’t too risky in my opinion.

I would gladly take that “risk” as someone called it.

Oh no doubt I wish the Blazers had to be the poor saps who took that risk lol.
