What is the player type needed to best suit a co-role with Harden? Is it a PG? SF? PF? C? And from there, whats the play style of that position? Do we need a playmaking 4? Pure defender/rebounder big? What is it? I ask sincerely because it seems like the sentiment on Clutchfans is that it is not a playmaking PG like Paul and some people want Butler.
A PG-Kawhi-Jimmy Butler type that can guard the best player and can still be an elite playmaker/scorer.
An Hakeem type player would nice. Can score around 25ppg a game. Shut down the paint. And top 10 in the league in steals from the center position.
Klay Thompson. A 3 and D player who can create their own shot when needed. Steven Adams. A big man who rebounds and plays great defense, one who isnt going to demand touches.
I mean, it can be a pick&roll or pick&pop 4/5 just like a wing who doesn't need the ball in his hands much ala Paul George, a guard like Klay or a PG like Curry. On paper Chris Paul isn't/wasn't the perfect fit but it almost worked, my guess is just about "being a great player".
Who wont get tired of ISO dribble the air out of the ball after year 1? I'm sure not many stars are cool with that
Ditch “star” players, I’ll take 9 other guys who are at least 6’8”, give it up on defense and hit 35% 3s. Basically a slew of Arizas and Moutes.
Paul George, Jimmy Butler but unfortunately with all the superteam trends these days, it's impossible to win without 3 all-stars on the same team unless the other team is injured.
