People who moan over LeBron are borderline idiots. Every title team is stacked. GS was a true superteam. Toronto had more talent this year than any team LeBron ever played on. The Spurs team had so many good players. Nobody wins on their own. LeBron changed how teams came together but he didn't change the fact that every champion is really good.

I agree - LeBron has every right to use his currency as the best player in the league any way he sees fit. But the law of diminishing returns is eventually going catch up to the league when it comes to these contrived "super teams." Traditionally, dynasties have been good for the basketball but until recently they developed organically.

I don't know if it's going to happen this time if Leonard goes to LAL or the next time or the next time; but I guarantee you this is going to start pissing off fans and the number of new fans it attracts will be less and less.

Oh, I’m not a hater. I’m a realist. It’s silly to use Lebron as an opposite example to the villain KD who went to a super team for a ring when that’s literally all Lebron has tried to do when he moves.

LeBron built contenders out of mediocrity or failures. KD joined a 73 win team that had gone to two straight finals.

They are absolutely completely different.

I really hope Kawhi does not go to the Lakers. I think it's terrible for his legacy and LeBron's legacy. The only way it helps LeBron is if they win every title when they are together.

I disagree in the level of difference you seem to think there is.
Their purpose was the same, but one of them definitely joined a better team rather than join a team and pull in other stars to make it a super team. Either way you end up with a super team.

Well broken down that way, well yeah. LeBron had to leave Cleveland if he wanted to win a title. Danny Ferry was destroying the roster. So he went to play with a good buddy. It just turns out another friend was in a situation going nowhere so he joined up too.

Sure, two guys joined their buddy and they became pretty darn good. They made the finals but lost because they didn't have everything down yet. But to put it in the same atmosphere as KD joining a two time finals team with 3 all stars that just broke the record for most regular season wins is just ludicrous. There is a reason GS dominated everything for two years until injuries cost them this year.

Plus KD left a team that was pretty loaded and capable of winning a championship to go a team that would be all but guaranteed to win a championship

Let’s be real... it’s pretty obvious that returning to Toronto is not his first choice - I mean why would he make the team wait so long? I think he’s concerned about what other pieces the Lakers can surround him with. But regardless, if he goes there that three-headed monster will be difficult to beat.

Pretty brutal. But if he goes anywhere else, I do see the Jazz getting to the finals.
 
Maybe the poll should also be about WHEN does Kawhi make his decision this year.

If it's seriously some sort of test I would be ticked off as heck as a fan of one of those teams.

Maybe he wants to see if the Lakers can keep a damn secret? I think its funny... just don't become a Laker. He might be waiting until the Lakers have missed on all free agents... then he goes to the Clippers and it hurts the Lakers FA efforts. Even in FA he plays defense.
