re: Is anyone more valuable to their team than Anthony Davis is to the pelicans?

The heat would be decent with Lebron and the thunder have done fine without KD in the past

well i would define them as being very valuable if those two teams went from "expected to play in the championship series" to a "decent team".
look at chicago, they aren't a contender to win it all, but they certainly were with Rose.
Hell even Westbrook makes the Thunder a team that probably can't get to the finals without him.

Those teams don't give a shite about making the playoffs. They want to win it all. They can't win it all without those guys, hence they are very valauble.
