What if? Miami Big 3 plus Kevin Garnett; a Phoenix Sun?

so big men use the same amount of energy as perimeter players like james at our pace?

 

Apples to oranges. Not many people here have made enough money to be set for life.

 

Red apples to green apples. Many athletes are broke 5 years after retirement anyways.

 

That's why one of the best centers ever only has 2 rings, and he only got them near the end of his career.

 

Harden and Curry represent two of the most valuable contracts in the entire NBA that aren't rookie deals.

Harden at 15.8 mil next year is unreal value.

Dwight at 22.3 mil not so much. Especially if he doesn't play the entire season.

 

With Gasol's huge year being on a new team, that might have not been so bad. We would of had Lowry too, which meant the Harden trade was still possible.

Basically

Beverley
Harden
Ariza
Nene
Gasol

Vs

Beverley
Harden
Ariza
Jones
Howard

Not too big of a difference, still could of brought over Bev, still would have motie on both teams, probably still would have been able to sign Ariza with Gasol taking a paycut.
