Yikes. Saw what you want about these, but LeBron can still go toe to toe with any player in NBA history

Re: NBA Thread
Russel Westbrook, Kevin Durant and James Harden all in ESPN's top 5 ranked players.
Oklahoma **** up big time, that Harden trade was the worst trade in NBA history. They don't even have Kevin Martin anymore. Should have just amnestied Perkins and given Harden what he deserved.

Re: NBA Thread
Yeah that was a terrible trade, they didnt even get much back for him!
OKC would be near unbeatable with Westbrook, Harden and KD.

Also have $100 on LeBron MVP at $2.20 and will likely add to that investment throughout the season

Re: NBA Thread
Durant is probably gonna win MVP
Re: NBA Thread
Call me a crazy bulls homer, but im taking them on to win the comp. I think defensively they are going to be able to beat down the Heat.

Re: NBA Thread
I've already bet on the Bulls. They'll be #1 seed if Rose plays the whole season.

Re: NBA Thread
KD MVP
Thunder forward Kevin Durant has been named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player for the first time during his seven-year career.
Durant, 25, finished second to Heat forward LeBron James in the 2012 and 2013 MVP votes. The five-time All-Star emerged as the MVP favorite this season by averaging a career-high 32 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 50.3 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from deep. Durant led the NBA in Player Efficiency Rating, Win Shares, minutes played, points, field goals, field goal attempts, free throws, free throw attempts and usage rate.
The Thunder star totaled 1,232 points for the MVP award, including 119 first-place votes from a panel of 125. LeBron James finished second (891 points, six first-place votes), followed by the Clippers’ Blake Griffin (434), the Bulls’ Joakim Noah (322) and the Rockets’ James Harden (85).

Re: NBA Thread
It will be interesting to see how the 76'ers come out of this. They would want either Parker or Wiggins to drop to 3rd given they have Nerlens Noel ready to come into the team, so Joel Embiid isn't an ideal pick for them.
If one of them does drop, they will have Noel, Carter-Williams and Wiggins/Parker + 10th overall pick. With that kind of young talent and a max contract to offer, they would be in a good position to try and convince Lebron to move as well.
