2.) aren't good enough to win big with.


Let's compare AD's supporting cast to the last 3 young stars that put a team on their back and made the Finals.

Holiday
Gordon
Evans
Ryno
Asik

vs. 06-07 LeBron Cavs

Larry Hughs
Drew Gooden
Zydrunas Ilgauskas
Anderson Varejao
Eric Snow

vs. 08-09 Dwight Magic

Rashard Lewis
Hedo Turkoglu
Courtney Lee
Mickael Pietrus
Jameer Nelson

vs. 11-12 Durant Thunder

Russel Westbrook
James Harden
Serge Ibaka
Nick Collison
Kendrick Perkins

The Pelicans may not have a Westbrook or a Harden, but I think they clearly have enough of a supporting cast to make the Finals if AD becomes the top 3 player we think he'll be come.

Our Roster is definitely better than the Cavs and the Magic roster, not as good as the Thunder.

But what did the Cavs and Magic have in common? Eastern Conference.

Lebron taking that Cavs team to the Finals is nothing short of a modern miracle.
