Throw Draymond on literally any other team and he's not an all-star. He's a great passer but it is easy to make plays when you have 3 of the top 10 shooters of all time on your team. Iggy, Klay and Durant are also good defenders. Draymond is pretty limited offensively.

This is a good take. I work with a guy who is a perfect example of this. He doesn't follow a specific team. He likes different players. He's got jerseys from a bunch of different players and whatever team they are currently playing for. He follows the league very closely.
I'm not saying that all NBA fans are like this, but there are a lot more of them than there are in other sports leagues.
Yep and as a Bulls fan I love it. I don't understand other bulls fans who want Hoiberg fired and Thibs back. Hoiberg has had zero players who would be effective in his system. That's not on Fred.
I'm like this too. I liked Minneapolis pro teams growing up but the T-Wolves were awful so I never became a fan. I'm a fan of whatever team LeBron is on.
Draymond isn't a big scorer but I don't think he's limited offensively. He's second among forwards in assists behind only LeBron in the last four years. Yes it's easier to get assists playing with the team he has but he's a very good passer. He's also taken a more limited role offensively with the addition of Durant, two years ago before he came, Green averaged almost 14 a game and shot nearly 40% from 3 and over 7 assists. Put him on a bad team and he's the guy you run your offense through and his usage rate and scoring numbers go way up.
You literally just called him a top 12 player in the NBA and then challenged me when I disagreed with you.. Lol which one is it?
After putting more thought into it, I'd say Green is in the 18-25 best player range.
I don't see a career 25% 3-FG player fitting in with the Rockets. Surprised he's still in the league.
Trae Young did not have a very good debut yesterday:
Everyone keeps bringing them up but they're going to be different next year. Maybe lose Capela. Already lost Ariza. CP3 isn't getting any younger and is still very injury prone. Right now their starting PF is Ryan Anderson and their C is Nene.
They could still lose Mbah a Moute, too. He was a valuable rotation player for them until he got injured late last season.
Tyreke Evans to the Pacers for one year at 12 million dollars. Nice deal for both sides. Evans gets a decent one year deal in a tough market and a chance to hit free agency again in a year. The Pacers get a second playmaker to help ease the load for Oladipo. Indy is shaping up to be a top three or four team in the East next season.
That is what happened to me when they switches us from the smaller (girl's) ball in 8th grade to the larger (men's) ball in 9th grade.
