Add one star to the Pelicans to beat GSW

[CodeBreaker]

Who would you add alongside these 2 Big men to dethrone the Warriors in the West?

pretty big leap to go from missing the playoffs to competing with one of the greatest teams of all time. Adding one player won't do it. But, if you are serious about beating the Warriors, they probably need to start by trading Cousins. He is not a winner.

As long as we are being unrealistic though, swap Cousins for Kawhi Leonard and add Chris Paul and you got a great shot. They would just need to get some decent depth to fill out the roster.

One player won't do it, not even Lebron. Can't win with Cousins IMO, and you're not going to get good trade value in return if you move him.

There isn't a team in the NBA you could just add one player and expect to beat GSW. They aren't only stacked with stars, they have depth in their bench too.

Lebron and Kyrie is a good start, but Cleveland has to find a way move Love and bring in another star. The tough part is -- it has to be a star who can produce when they aren't the primary ball handler and they'd have to be solid on the defensive end too. There aren't a lot of guys like that.

That is what makes GSW so sick -- they not only have the best offense, they ranked first in a ton of defensive stats. They were like that prior to Durant, then they add arguably the perfect player for their offensive philosophy. It sucks for the rest of the NBA, but it is entertaining to watch.

I think they should both just go to GS

This is why I find it funny that people think Chris Paul is the missing piece in SA

He's not

Kawhi Leonard is a tremendous starting piece as a two way player. Chris Paul would be a great addition, but LaMarcus Aldridge would get lost in the shuffle I think. With the way GSW pushes the pace, it is almost a detriment to have a big man as part of your big 3.

And hope Curry gets hurt.
