I didnt add Jusuf Nurkic because he's straight untouchable IMO

I don't think that would make Portland better than us because you can't form a defense with just 2 defenders.



We finished post Nurkic as a top 10 defense

Leonard is a good shooter that every 10 games can put together a good stat line. Terrible on defense rotations and can't close out against the quicker stretch fours.

He's a 7 footer that plays like a 6'7" stretch 4 without the mobility. Honestly if he wasn't 7'1" he'd have come and go in the league.

And many of the Nurkic lineups had 3 defenders, Nurkic plus 2 of Aminu, Harkless and Vonleh. You're talking about replacing 1 of those with Carmelo Anthony. 2 defenders on the floor most of the game is what you'll be looking at.

Aren't 2 of those 3 likely to be involved in the trade so they wouldn't even be available as an alternate defensive unit?

Lebron to lakers next season too. I'm honestly just ready to hit reset. Every team in the west is getting better and better.

That seems pretty cheap.
I guess the Knicks and the rest of the nba don't really want him.

they've turned terrible contracts (kanter, oladipo), a 1 yr player (sabonis) and junk (mcbuckets & the pick) into one year or Paul george and one year of Anthony...

they'll take a tax hit this year but they might also win big, and they have tons of options going forward
