Would the Raptors have won the title with Bron instead of Kawhi?

You know the answer to this.. His rosters have to be decorated a certain type of way for him to succeed. He needs to team wit elite co stars and sharp shooters -- to spread the floor. He purposely builds his rosters a certain way for a reason. Lebron on the Raptors doesn't get past philly. Hell he couldn't even make playoffs without a roster built to his strengths
Yep, that Delly/Shump/TT/Mosgov lineup was nothing but co-stars and shooters. Or Boobie/Hughes/Goodwin/Z. Or Hill/JR/Love/TT.

Three times he's made the Finals with no co-stars and mediocre shooters. Even that 2012 title team only had the bare minimum so far as shooters go, this Raptors team was much better in that regard. But I'm sure he wouldn't make the playoffs.



Raps play a lot team ball with healthy doseage of ISO ball. Lebron ball is just too much ISO for a rhythm team like Raptors.

For Regular season Lebron, he uses his elite iso to draw coverage and pull off some great assists.i think teams that are way more discipline in playoff and Lebron just ends up ISO the clock too much and bails out with a shytty pass or he lives/dies with the ISO.
LeBron was 78th on the NBA in time of possession per touch. Coli hot takes don't get you very far.

just like @.the.bank.of.uptXwn. said...Bron was the reason the Dubs went and got KD. Bron was the reason the Raptors got rid of Casey and DeMar. these dudes quickly forget
Its amazing how brehs try to re-write history.

KD was the "leave nothing to chance" move. To KD's credit he played great, but its funny how Kawhi beating an injury plagued Warriors team suddenly means LeBron couldn't.

If Durant and Thompson were out last year the Cavs would have did what the Raptors did
Exactly..

It has been 12yrs since bron willed his team against a vastly superior team like kawhi did against the bucks and philly

And would lebron continue to shoot like kawhi did in game 7 against philly when his team looked scared lebron would pout and act like a bytch like he did game one of the finals last yr when his team fukked up

You saw kawhi pick his team up down 2-0 after siakim missed those free throws and will them to make the series 2 -1

Raptors would have had the best record in the east if Kawhi wasn't on load management :dwillhuh:

Bron's team was down 2-0 against the Celtics last year.

Was down 2-1 against the Bulls in 2015.

Was down 3-1 against a 73 win Warriors team in 2016

Yes he was capable of leading a team back :mjtf:

I think Bron would’ve been frustrated with the roster and traded Siakim and Van Vleet for Tristan and JR
Would Bron have had the Raptors as good as the regular season? No.

Would he have wanted to shake up the roster? Possibly.

However, if he got that team to the playoffs...yes its wrap. Philly wasn't ready, Bucks didn't have enough, Warriors injured and Bron does what he does.

And nah I doubt that he moves them for JR and TT. :gucci:

Also you do realize the Raptors had a VERY good record WITHOUT Kawhi. So when Bron resting/missing games there probably wouldn't have been as much panic.
