Kareem definitely a better career and player at this point.

But on that super team, Jokic is such a better fit.

Shooting is a little sus too if we want to make a modern team. I'd swap Magic for Curry too.
Yep. I go with joker with supporting cast. Especially with you idea of swapping in curry. Joker can set up all those great scorers with his passing. LeBron, Jordan, and Duncan can all defend well enough to cyber the deficiency of curry and joker

It was named a GOAT lineup though. Not all time super team.
I took it differently than you. I thought he was making his ideal lineup. Like the greatest lineup you could make.

Poster probably should have just posted "these are now the best players at each position" instead of using the word "lineup".

Saying goat lineup insinuates a group of players greatness together rather than individuals to me.

I dont know if it was just me who had it wrong.

If its meant to be an all time super team then it would never work. Joker has the best career 3P percentage of those guys at 35%.

Ya get Steph in there instead of magic and things change dramatically. (Plus magic is a bit redundant with 2 great passers with great size in joker and LeBron) Also, if I'm making this hypothetical lineup I don't go by career averages but rather I pick their best season of their career (which might not change the shooting aspect all that much but maybe it would. I know LeBron has had some good 3 point shooting seasons but not sure they coincide with his best seasons for example)

I still won't be surprised if Minnesota wins this series
I had nuggets in 7 and still do but I don't feel confident about it.
I bet Ant looks like prime Jordan in game 6 and we get an amazing game 7.

Even prime Jordan couldn't carry Rudy who provides 0 offense and gets cooked for 40 defensively
They're losing and it's over
 
The Mitchell stuff is bizarre.

Am I crazy for thinking the Cavs are withholding him at this point because they

A) Know they can't win this series
B) Know Mitchell is gone
and
C) Want to avoid any big injury to him when they know they're going to trade him in this offseason?

I think it’s more Mitchell withholding himself tbh

I would probably actually go with Klay instead of Steph. You dont really need 4 on-ball players and while Joker is great as he is, he does touch the ball 100+ times per game.

Or then swap out Joker for more of an offball player like Dirk, and put in Steph. That would fix spacing even better, but prime Klay was such a beast on defense so having him guard the PoA with Jordan would be a nightmare for opponents.
 
I think there are too many conspiracies. IMO most likely he's just injured and at this point it doesn't make sense to rush him and worsen his injury. Doesn't make sense for anyone really - for Mitchell... for the Cavs if they want to trade him... noone wins if a player plays injured at high intensity spot. This is precisely where you can make things much worse than they already are.

Yep. He is injured and calf strains aren't exactly a quick injury to come back from. During the regular season you are talking about a couple weeks or more of down time.
