I'm interested to see how Lebron ages. His athletic ability is so elite that I'm not sure he'll know how to respond when it starts to fade a bit.


Lebron is so large that he could slide to the 4 and still be one of the more athletic PFs in the NBA even after declining. Hell, he's bigger than guys like Griffin and Josh Smith, although they are elite athletes also.

plus curry (1) has no position and (2) wasn't the same player without the old GS offense


this was not apart of your OP on his exclusion, therefore void.

and his ankle injury is no more severe than Bynum's multiple knee issues, which apparently are of no concern to you. Good thing you aren't the Magic's GM.

oh yeah

i don't think you realize how valuable bynum is, or what he'd be doing as a primary option on another team

No Beaubois, Lin, or Jimmer. Come on. Laugh at my Jimmer statement but he's in a mess. Those 3 and Rubio are all future multiple time all-stars.

Is Jimmer still struggling to get his shot off?

You not smart enough to decipher who realizes what, Bynum maybe valuable, but he does not meet your OP criteria.

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

They put Curry in for the final 3 seconds of the game the other day as a decoy.. Take out that game and he's averaging 16-6-3.6
For his career he's 18-6-4.. he'll be fine IMO

I'm a fan of Tebow so I tend to root for the underdog. However, if Beaubois gave 2 shits he'd be the best pg in the league. Offensively and defensively.

first off that's laughable. Secondly you must be unaware that he has had major surgey on his knee twice.

Knee injuries > ankle injuries.

You're talking about health with three injury prone players, yet saying one player in your OP is out because of injury.

Based on your "logic" Greg Oden should be behind Durant, you know, if healthy.

do you know what criteria means? Taking guys off the list because of a particular standard you established (i.e "no older or "injury prone") qualifies as you using a certain criteria to make your original list.

no, it's parts of the basis of my opinion. criteria would mean for the discussion those rules would apply to everyone's opinion (and they don't)
