GS is one injury away from allowing a lineup of either Parker, Green, Kawhi, Pau, Aldridge.....or Kyrie, Smith/Wade, LeBron, Tristan, and Love to beat their assess in the playoffs

Plus GS losing Bogut and Festus to play really small ball.. Even pachulia/west can't fix that problem. The lack of interior presence gives SA and CLE the advantage

who is going to beat them inside besides Lebron
300 year old Pau Gasol? Lamarcus Aldridge? Those guys are soft, Draymond Green can handle both of them. you make it seem like these teams have prime Shaq inside the paint. The only thing that they can't stop is a 260 lb Lebron flying down the lane running over people like a tight end playing basketball. Even though the Jazz aren't there yet they will be the toughest front court the Warriors have to face because of their size and length. |

That said, I don't think it changes the Warrior's place as favorites. But it will be something (rim protection) they'll have to figure out/overcome. |

I don't see anything wrong with these vets going to favorites to get a ring. They've earned that opportunity. They bring something to the table, or the team wouldn't sign them. I have nothing against a guy nearing retirement looking for that one last rush of a title chase. The ring is important, but I think these guys have the perspective to understand it's about that life experience. You want to enjoy life, right? Would you rather "earn respect" toiling away for some crap team that can't win, or play on a team that allows you to truly enjoy your job?

Paul Millsap would be perfect for the Cavs. Swap Love for Millsap. Salaries are fairly equal.

Building these superstar teams, remember they had a time they sucked - that's how they got the main pieces to make these things work through the draft.

The Lakers had better hope that somebody's willing to take one or both of those deals off their hands in 3 years. They won't bottle up the cap for the next 2 seasons because none of the Lakers key talent requires a new deal for at least 2 seasons, but in years 3 and 4, they're gonna wish they had that money off their books. The NBA will be awash in cash until about 2025 when the insane deal that ESPN gave them expires (and long after the cable sports bubble has burst). It'll be fascinating to see if the cap contracts when that deal expires or if the CBA gets mangled again.

I have to disagree. Millsap is an inferior rebounder to Love and cannot stretch the floor as well. He's only a passable three point shooter, and while he offers much, much better defense, it's going to be in the form of rim protection, which doesn't matter that much against the Warriors. You need guys with long arms and quick feet to defend them well.

This is what I find fascinating about all of this, and I'm waiting for it to happen in all sports, not just the NBA. All of these teams are massively overvalued right now, which is why it was interesting to sit and listen to Russ Hanneman opine on Any Given Wednesday about how these teams are good investments. But hey, at least you'll have Jordan Clarkson and Kendall Jenner relationship status updates during your Lakers games.
