Imo it's one of the Lebron curry Davis combo

Davis has the most potential but that's what it is, potential. No playoff track record

Bron and steph are win now, and Bron is older. I wouldn't be mad at anyone for picking one of those three. Anyone else is nonsense imo

LeBron, Davis and Durant are the only answers that make sense. Period.

And lost it at you sneaking Waiters in there.:laff:

Curry's a guy who's only as good as his team is so no, he doesn't fall into that tier. He's not a generational talent. I know this is ironic because the whole question is "who do you build your team around" and all that, but if I'm a GM I want a a guy who can do more with less and not a guy who's only getting the job done when his team is stacked to the gills. ie: A guy like LeBron was winning 60+ games and leading a sorry ass Cavs team to the ECF and Finals in his first stint...you know what happened when he got a team as nice as Curry's? Yeah, so do I. We'll be saying the same about Davis once they put pieces around him in NO.

Can you drop Curry onto any mediocre team in the League and watch them become a title contender from his presence alone? Nah.

With that being said, it's LeBron, Davis, or Durant and no one else.

I wouldn't buy into durant with the potential future injury risk.

I really think that steph has evolved into the ideal PG for the pace and space era and his mix of shooting, passing, and overall clutch ness/ability to seize the moment/overall moxie and #need is what catapults him to that level. I'm not going to fault him for having a good team/organization around him. He's a legitimate superstar and has only trended upwards since he got into the league.
