JB fixed his left hand dribbling a while ago. Find a new slant.

Even Bona and Hukporthi isn’t horrible for depth, it’s just that our backup C will play a lot of games. Justin Edwards is also 100% and nba player.

I keep seeing all these casuals say “nO bEncH dEptH” when we literally signed Simons and Wade this offseason too. Like what do you want, all stars off the bench too?

Kcp too, he was faking his washedness to leave the grizzlies

Philon is unproven and as a Cavs fan I’ve watched dean wade for years. He’s a poor mans DFS. The guy has averaged 5 and 5 basically his whole career. When national media started calling him an elite role player all I could do is laugh . He had one good series on defense guarding Cade Cunningham and everyone acts like he’s Tony Allen or Ron artest . I’m still in shock he got a 40 million dollar contract

Philon?? A rookie?? Anf is awesome though

They won’t be on the bench though when LeBron is out for rest and Embiid is out yet again.

Ben Simons?

Yea thats way stronger than what the original version of the heatles was. I think people forget the evolution of super teams and what KD did might have fucked up peoples valuations as well. 3 all stars is about all it takes

Don’t educate me on a guy I’ve watched play every game NePhEw .

He is not a starting player on a championship roster . You’ve probably seen dean wade play 10 times. Including when we beat you in the playoffs a couple years ago

A superteam isn’t a superteam until June, just a useful label for debate purposes otherwise

Fuck these filthy Redditors

Redditors all resent themselves for using reddit it seems like. That’s the #1 insult I’ve seen on every sub.

But we know that’s not how it will play out in effect unless they can generate extra possessions over 48 mins. That will be the key, can they get enough reps per player to dominate like that?

“another 20 ppg scorer” and it’s literally the greatest player to ever touch a basketball

PG was not their worst asset, and you’re overexaggerating Jaylen Brown a lot. PPG isn’t even close to everything, and I truly hope this team can mesh and play together, but we’re not going anywhere if Embiid can’t stay healthy

this isn’t the same team as those years tho. i don’t think they’re a superteam but how would that be fair to say when they didn’t have jaylen or lebron

“But they have Jaylen Brown. A Finals MVP”

Yeah, the same Brown who led a team that choked a 3-1 lead in the first round last season

People were saying they were close to a super team if Embidd can stay healthy with Maxey, Brown and Embidd himself. Add Bron, and Sixers were saying we got Edgecomb too who is on the rise. I don’t know why some fans are stunned they being called a super team lol

Mike Bibby and Joel Anthony were starting Finals games lol

LeBron’s camp is arguing Bosh was a part of that 3-15*

I don’t think ppl realize how awful the Miami team was without lebron on the floor lmao

I think he’s tryna say people act like those Heat teams weren’t super or something. 

They were initially but I vividly recall everyone being on Wade and Bosh’s asses in 2013 for selling so hard lmao

People don’t realize Wikipedia is just written by normal people. No authoritative figure has ever declared this is the correct definition of a super team, and yet comment OP is citing it as some grand truth.

OG isn’t – the Hall doesn’t really value defense. Otherwise Bruce Bowen would be in.

Not even close lol

This is a perfect example of why arguing semantics is pointless. Clearly the term as we currently use it only began to be used when the Heatles were formed in the 2010 offseason.

How about you open the actual article, and see that those teams are mentioned?

When a team has a massive talent advantage over the rest of the league it’s a super team by any halfway reasonable definition of the term.

No, that’s not enough.

I do.

No it doesn’t?

“One such effort/method made was the creation of the second tax apron, which looks to significantly hamper teams that would look to overspend in order to create their superteams in question.”

OKC offloading players they already had in favor of players they acquired they like better to stay under the 2nd apron happened, but one could definitely argue that even though 2 of their current starters were drafted and the departed Dort has played his career there, the trades for SGA and Hartensten made them a FO-generated super team.

he just did

we were getting called the 2nd best team in the east before lebron joined what are you talking about.

Dude is just stupid

Because this has literally never happened before. No one has ever signed a veteran minimum contract while still playing at a star level and being capable of leading a team to a playoff series win. You ring chase on a cheap contract when you’re cooked and the team needs an extra bench guy, not when you’re still good enough to be the primary ball handler on a team with three all stars.

I swear to god, LeBron being so great for his age was this massive talking point right until the day he went to Philly. His fans have gone from saying he’s still a superstar that can be top 5 at any time, to talking about him like a fragile old man with one last wish.

Any team that lebron could have joined is automatically a super team once he signs, that’s the way it’s been since he was a free agent the first time.

Cavs would’ve had Harden, Mitchell, and Mobley/Allen combo. The harden, Mitchell, lebron would’ve been called a superteam.

Miami would’ve had Giannis, Bam and Lebron, which by any standard is a superteam.

Even lakers wouldve had AR, Luka and Bron, and it would’ve been called a superteam with expectation of a deep playoff run.

There’s a massive difference between “some guy in his late career” and “Lebron” lol. Cmon now

Brown, embiid, maxey ya dummy and yes I know embiid averaged like 26 last year playing no games

Bosh says it is, and he’s certainly eminently qualified to have an opinion.
