If you had to build a franchise around one NBA player who would it be?

[CarltonJunior]

I'll be different and say Kevin Durant. Get him another ball handler and bigs while he gives you an efficient 30-48 points every night. Also an iron man besides this season. Would have 1 or 2 rings by now if not for Russ and Ibaka getting hurt folloeed by his own injury last season.

There's no real bad answer here for all the serious choices.

I agree with the KD pick because his game is very consistent and never really wavers. He doesn't need the ball all the time. You just have to pretty much optimize the talent around him, and he plays the SF position traditionally so you don't have to worry about how other pieces around him play unlike LBJ. KD can play with pretty much anybody and be great.

AD/LeBron are tied for the second best answers

I picked CP3

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

Curry only got 5 votes

 

[feelosofer]

Anthony Davis, kid basically dragged the Pelicans into the playoffs.

 

[Reggie]

Take out Bron insert AD with the same circumstances and they make the finals in Miami?

I think it's a damn good chance they do. This is the East we are talking about you know.

If AD can drag NO in the WEST playoffs,imagine what he would do in the east with two other hall of famers

If I had a 3 year window to win a championship, this would be my draft ranking

LeBron
Durant
Davis
Cousins
Curry
Harden
Westbrook
Bosh
Griffin
Aldridge


But if I could pick two, it would be Davis and Cousins.

 

[Consumed]

If Cousins ever gets his shyt together he could quickly emerge as the most dominant player in the game. That man is a problem

 

[Sccit]

ANTHONY DAVIS 1, STEPH CURRY 2, KYLE KYZMA 3, DEMARCUS COUSINS 4, RUSSELL WESTBROOK 5


LMAO @ ALL THE PEOPLE WHO PICKED LEBRON WHO IS 30 YEARS OLD AND ALREADY ON THE DECLINE

Bron even at 30 has the ball IQ skillset and leadership qualities to make almost any team in the NBA a playoff team. Even if his scoring diminishes, he affects the floor in so many ways.

HE'S GOOD WHEN HE HAS AT LEAST 2 FRANCHISE PLAYERS ON HIS TEAM, ILL GIVE U THAT

Kyrie Irving is a franchise player when healthy, but a lot of the Coli would argue against Kevin love, right or wrong, and Kevin is not there and Kyrie has been injured most of the playoffs. So where is the franchise player on this team?

 

[GoFlipAPack]

LBJ

 

[DeVanteSwing]

Bron gettin you to the finals, at least

through the east

 

[ReggieFlare]

As of right now I'm taking Duref.

A.D isn't a bad choice but Durant can make almost any team a final's competitor immediately (if his injury isn't major)
