Damn I haven't seen a lot of ESPN insider articles in a long time. Didn't know they still existed. Used to be really good content a few years ago.

Re: The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread
So the squad will most likely look like this if the Ray Allen thing goes through.
Bench wise the only productivity we've lost is Ezeli, Barbosa, and Speights. Rush wasn't at all important. David West is pretty much an improvement on Speights. Ezeli replaced with another Vanderbilt pick in Jones who can't possibly be any worse. McCaw looks like a steal. Setting the summer league on fire. Much better 3&D than Rush. Looney can finally play after that unfortunate rookie season. So Barbosa is the only real loss, unless Ray Allen is hitting 40% from 3 again in which case even Barbosa ain't a loss. So I'd say we've improved on everything except Bogut. Zaza while a fighter on the boards like Bogut and a better scorer around the rim than Bogut, he's not even close to Bogut defensively.
Curry | Livingston (Clark) |
Thompson | Ray Allen (McCaw) |
Durant | Iguodala (Looney) |
Green | West (McAdoo) |
Zaza | Verajao (Jones) |

I can see his point in that Thunder had our number.
All the games Cleveland won in the finals against us were only won in one quarter of the games.

A team that blew a 3-1 should have won a championship tho? Ridiculous. They were great for the first 4 games and then choked harder than a pornstar in a gangbang.
They would have of had a hard time beating the Cavs as well. I doubt LeBron loses to his sons (KD and WB) with home court advantage.
He can't say they were better than Cleveland just because he feels they 'played them better'. This guy can go *bleep* himself.

While i don't think he's wrong particularly, he probably should have kept his mouth shut as he's coming across as a bit salty tbh lol.

Not only is it salty, I don't know why he would say that since KD joined them. Now he will feel like a bigger traitor than he already is.

I just noticed that Sixers are finally bringing over that Saric dude, if nothing else that team is going to be huge.
Him combined with Simmons and the millions of centers they have will probably make them the biggest team in the league lol.

Most overrated? Kawhi Leonard and Draymond Green seems to be up there.
Kawhi is an amazing defender and such but the way he was talked about during the season and how he was in the MVP talks I didn't agree with.
Same with Draymond almost getting 1st team All-NBA.

Re: The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread
Interesting choices. Need more explanation on Kawhi though.
DeAndre Jordan - People actually think this guy is some elite defensive player...... So limited on offense and his face-up defense and pick and roll defense is laughable. Decent help defender though, but people actually think he is better that Demarcus Cousins.
Carmelo Anthony - I could write an essay on this guy. One of the most overrated players I've seen (not to say he isn't great). Maybe it's because he plays in New York, people like to act like he has never had great teams. People seem to forget that he played in Denver and has actually played more years in Denver than New York. Volume shooter, funny defender, numbers actually go DOWN in the playoffs, Kobe like ball stopper etc. I'll stop there.
Demar Derozan - I'll go into more later.

Agree with DeAndre Jordan completely. I still have no idea how's he's in awards consideration every season. Also how he's 1st all NBA when he's a liability to his team.

Re: The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread
Jordan definitely lol.
Don't get the Kawhi stuff though, he's the best perimeter defender since Artest and offensively is 20+ scorer. If you said he's overrated offensively because he struggles atm in the clutch but nobody says otherwise so I disagree still.
As for the MVP stuff, why wouldn't he be top 3 last year? He was the best player on any other year would been 1 seed by a landslide.
The term is "MOST VALUABLE PLAYER" was there 3 more valuable to a team last year? Nope.
Without him Spurs would probably lose to Portland lol, Duncan was run down, Aldridge is overrated as all hell (probably belongs in this discussion tbh) Parker is past it and Green couldn't make shots.

Re: The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread
If you want to go semantic on the MVP award and not vote them according to the actual quality of the players, then Kyle Lowry should've probably been the MVP of the entire league.
I think Kawhi is way too limited offensively to be the most important player in the league. Spurs have always done well in the regular season, always above 55+ wins. I can't see what exactly makes Kawhi a top 3 player in the league yet. And I have a problem seeing someone being a 2 in MVP voting when I don't see how he'd have improved other teams when switching the other candidates.
I don't see OKC being better if Durant was replaced with Kawhi, I see Spurs getting better OKC getting worse.
That's basically it. He's a top 15 player in the league still, because of his defense mainly, but some talk about him as if he's a top 5 player, which I really don't agree with at all.
It's generally hard to talk about overrated players when all players who aren't all stars are considered shit.
Other choices could also be Anthony Davis, Jamaal Crawford. Paul George has some inefficient play also and is too hit and miss. When he hits he's amazing though. He always seems to start the season as a top 5 player and then drop off.

In terms of overall impact he was top 5 last year imo, that doesn't mean he's a top 5 player in general.
The two things are very different.

Kawhi is an interesting one for sure.
This upcoming season will reveal a lot because I'm one of the people who believe that the loss of Tim Duncan is going to enormous and the effect it will have on Kawhi defensively will be immense.
Paul George? What is the expectation for him? He'll play amazing the first month and then simmer down and then fade away as usual.
James Harden is an obvious choice. Shocking player.

Paul George was fantastic in the playoffs, his team just sucked lol.
Only natural for his numbers not to maintain the same level with the amount he has to do, I think it's possible he was overrated before injury but not now imo.
