He should universally be seen as top 5 at his position, at worst.

.....and that's hedging, depending on what most people consider Curry and Iverson.

I have him 2 or 3.

* see Curry

I don't have CP3 ahead of either.

...gotta think about Iverson.

Probably lean Paul.

CP3 has one very bad thing on his resume that I don't think any other PG has. And maybe no other player.

Not only have his teams been bounced outta the playoffs 4x with a 2-0 lead it's happened to him in three different decades.

AI was nasty good. An all time great. But no ring. Gotta give the edge to Isiah over AI.

 

[Wamu]

They did that on purpose, they didn't want to trade KD. They could then tell him hey we tried.

It was just funny what the Nets wanted in return for an aging superstar that's been injury prone lately.

 

[shopson67]

Pistons would be 3 for 3 against LA also if not for shenanigans as well


*shots fired

Kleenex issued.

 

[shopson67]

While I have no proof of this, yet, pretty sure the Lakers cheated during the '89 Finals.

Kleenex with Aloe issued.

 

[shopson67]

Is it too early to panic @shopson67?

Still too early, but it depends on what your expectations were. Were they title contending or just playoff contending? Plenty of time to get back into the playoff picture, but they're not beating anyone of note in a 7 game series without miracle trades.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Kleenex issued.

I did cry that day. Not gonna lie.

I was also 8.

Again, they didn't want that. They wanted to throw out ridiculous offers so they'd keep him. If they wanted to actually trade him they would have asked for realistic returns.

I screamed as loud as I could to not release Zubac back-in-the-day and now it appears that Zubac is playing way better than injury-prone AD. What a shit-show.

He isn't playing better than AD right now.

 

[thunderc]

Umm Lebron we have certainly seen you do just that.

 

[thunderc]

Looking like the AD trade is the gift that is going to keep on giving for the Pelicans.

He wasn't released, he was traded to the Clips with Michael Beasley for Mike Muscala, who was supposed to help with spreading the floor. Muscala was pretty much worthless the rest of the season.

Until the Pels win more than 1 chip as a result, the Lakers still win the trade ultimately.

Not really because the Pelicans weren’t going to win one with AD.

 

[shopson67]

Not really because the Pelicans weren’t going to win one with AD.

If you weren't a contender, make a trade, and still aren't a contender, what did they win?

 

[thunderc]

If you weren't a contender, make a trade, and still aren't a contender, what did they win?

You don’t think if they get a lottery pick this year that they have a much better chance than they did with just AD? Zion, Ingram and a high lottery pick sounds pretty damn good to me for a guy that can’t stay on the floor.
