Why couldn't the Pacers rebuild? How about if they don't lose Lance? What if Lance stays in the East to a team that's close. The Bobcats?
I didn't even mention the Celtics. They're a non factor unless they make moves.
Toronto is a threat forming.

I know, but some of those key cogs are big injury risks. Everyone can get injured but Anderson, Love, and to some extent Kyrie get injured a lot.

Yes he is.

I agree. But I'm gonna assume he'd be banged up. Cuz he always is.
> >>4.) Who protects the rim on that team? I'll wait again... >They can find a Birdman cheap willing to play with Bron. >Birdman was barely a rim defender himself. >
Birdman is a threat though. They have no threat to defend the rim. Who will they find? Haywood? Dalembert? Those dudes might not even be in their price range.
>>5.) Rookie Coach from Europe you say? >Rookie half Filipino coach who hadnt even been an assistant >you say? >
He had experience before Bron came though. Learned. Got his lumps. This is a rookie head coach.

I'm good with that, but I'm saying Bron's strengths will negate a lot of Kyrie's strengths. They overlap a bit on offense. It'd be like a worse version of the first year in Miami where Bron would have to take his turn, then Wade took his turn. That wasn't as effective.

Not denying that.

Nothing fantasy about it. I'm making logical basketball arguments.
You guys are the ones saying, Lebron = ECF no matter what the team looks like. Just because, he's Lebron.
