Kyrie Irving is not posting weird shit online yet

Melo from 15 ---> 7
He's clearly the best player in the world. This is the definition of total domination.
His presence provides depth in the form of incompetent fringe NBAers who end up playing pivotal roles in Finals runs.
Norris Cole, Rio Chalmers, Joel Anthony, Matthew Dellavedova, Iman Shumpert, Tristan Thompson, Timofey Mozgov, all of the championship Lakers except Caruso...
With LeBron, these guys play meaningful roles in teams that make the Finals. Without LeBron, they get salary dumped alongside a second round pick to a lottery team and don't even make the 10 man rotation there.
Or, you know, the insane criticism players receive if they're on the Lakers roster.
On the flipside, for visiting players, the media try to turn every single Lakers home game into a ''must-watch'', ''big game''.
We may have won only five games but damn did we make em count
Cam Reddish, welcome to Besiktas!
19yr old LeBron goes #1 in any draft, ever.
He has a strong case although I'd take Klay.
From current allstar level players I have three
Nikola Vucevic played his rookie season with Philly. It was the lockout shortened season. After the season concluded Hinkie initiated The Process™. Vucevic was part of the megatrade that sent Dwight to the Lakers.
Khris Middleton played his rookie season with Detroit. After the season he was a throw in in the Jennings - Knight swap.
Domantas Sabonis played his rookie season with the Thunder. It was the Russ MVP season. After the season he was a throw in in the trade that sent Paul George to OKC for picks and Oladipo.
Rich people invest money into football ---> football club wins and becomes a giant.
At some point Trae Young will get tired of his current playstyle since it doesn't lead to a lot of winning. He will turn into a score first guard. And he will go crazy. I don't think the Hawks will make a huge jump but his scoring numbers will.
