i think howard is going to fall off some

kobe/wade/paul/curry are out of the discussion due to long-term health and/or age worries

and obviously i'm projecting and may have made a big mistake somewhere

curry is a man without a position, though

his stats were inflated by GS's old offense

you were saying?

bynum has been healthy this year and is like 24

gordon is 23
bynum is a big man and much more valuable than curry or gordon. if bynum had no health concerns he'd be 2 behind durant

gordon > curry when healthy, and i'm not as worried about his ability to hold up

curry has a possible sever structural injury to his ankle, and he wasn't amazing in his role on the non-super tempo warriors

and now he's back in the discussion b/c he miraculously got over what was being reported as a major structural issue years ago

as that list showed, injuries change everything (both positively and negatively). sometimes guys who have major issues get over them (like curry, cp3) and sometimes guys develop major issues (like bynum, gordon, holiday). sometimes freak injuries create serious question marks (rose, durant, george)

it's a discussion about the NBA from 3 years ago. shite is going to happen in a league this fluid that requires such freak skill/athleticism. i'm not going to shy away for having the sack to actually make a prediction. it's a lot easier to sit back and pick out 1 incorrect point 3 years later than to actually create your own content.
