You're an interesting cat, BKS. You're cool and all but you quote me often and act like you know everything. Guess you really take what have you below your name seriously.

To be fair to bks's point though, the Cavs have post players in TT and TinaFey Mozgov. They may not be the best post presence in the league, but it's more than the Wizards have.

Exactly. Gortat is their only inside presence

Issue with the Wizards is they're strictly a perimeter team. At least TT and Love are low post players. That team basically would have no inside presence and its not like Beal and Wall can shoot like Klay and Steph.
Gortat is not bad

plus you dont really need a great center in todays nba....a lot of times all the center does is clog up the lane unless you have a really good shooting PF...


Mozgov had like 30 in a Finals game and the Cavs got slaughtered. You definitely need rebounding and some defense- but you certainly do not need a 20 point scorer in the post to win a title.

Aside from injuries....the Wizards may need a coaching change. Randy Wittman wasn't the answer in Minnesota and while he's done okay with the Wizards....he may have taken them as far as he can.

Doesn't change the fact....Durant would be better off in DC than OKC. Trojan nailed it with Westbrook being a free agent comment.

even steph curry knows lebron is the best player in the league still



4-5 years ago if polling the GM's, Lebron would have gotten every vote as best player.
It would be interesting to see the results now.
Obviously, considering all factors, James wouldn't be the #1 guy you would build your team around long term.
Short term he is still on top or near the top of the list, but I have have no issue taking Curry or a healthy A.D., possibly even Durant or Westbrook if someone else had picks before me and took James.

As far as what Steph knows, for sure, is that he is wearing last years championship ring, and this years team is only one game from being undefeated with the loss occurring more because of schedule then opponent.

I think Lebron is still the best player in the league, but the margin between him and a couple of others is pretty thin. I agree too that a vote today would be interesting. I think it would still be Lebron, but it wouldn't be unanimous anymore.

Does Lebron read Wiggy nightly bedtime stories?

Probably. Although word back home in Akron is that LeBron is gonna have a birthday parade for him. So that could be entertaining.

Did you get invited?

Of course not. Aside from the fact I no longer live in Akron they wouldn't want me showing up in Celtics green ruining their colorful Cavs birthday party.
