    Come to think of it Arjuns team reminds me of the rockets. Efficient and great wing scorer. Top 10 pg who likes to attack. Lacks size and shot blocking inside but good rebounding and decent scoring.

    Wekkos team is like the Lakers. Good big men - don't get as many touches as they should but can score and great defensive presence. Kobe is obviously better than granger but I would say Kobe + fisher ~ granger + Nelson. Some might even prefer wekkos because both are capable players and not elite but both very good.

    One was playoff team (swept in second round) and the other didn't make it.

    I just threw up in my mouth when you compared Wekko's team to the Lakers.

    The Celtics played the Wizards 3 times this past season. Garnett averaged 30 mpg and scored 17 ppg on 69% shooting.

    Nene played 1 game against Blatche this year. In 27 minutes, he scored 21 pts on 89% shooting. Obviously he can't sustain that type of efficiency, but it shows he can score. And most of his points come off pick and rolls b/c he's both mobile and powerful. Considering Blatche is a poor defender, there's no reason that Nelson and Nene can't run pick and rolls all day long.

    The Knicks played the Bobcats 3 times this year. Fields averaged 30 mpg and 12.7 ppg on 52% shooting. Stephen Jackson averaged 35 mpg and 18ppg on 37% shooting.

    Granger played against Durant twice this year. Danny Granger averaged 31 mpg and 19.5 ppg on 40% shooting. Kevin Durant averaged 35 mpg and 23 ppg on 40% shooting.

    Tony Parker played against Jameer Nelson twice this year. Nelson averaged 20 mpg and 11 ppg on 56% shooting. Parker averaged 30 mpg and 20 ppg on 59% shooting.

    So essentially, Landry Fields outplayed Stephen Jackson significantly, Danny Granger and Kevin Durant were a wash, and Tony Parker/Jameer Nelson couldn't guard each other. And right now, we're assuming that Granger/Jackson have Delfino to give them rest. If not, they'd be playing 48 mpg.

    And both Garnett and Nene abused Blatche. Horribly.

    Arjun's team reminds me of the Rockets if the Rockets started David Andersen at center instead of Chuck Hayes.

    LeBron James in real life has a teammate who is a ball dominant player (a great playmaker/scorer). What is his 3-point percentage?

    In regards to Lebron and Wade, the Miami Heat offense consisted of them taking turns running the offense. Compare the True Shooting percentages of Lebron and Wade. Lebron's is 59%. Wade's is 58%. Not too far apart, right? An argument can be made that if the ball isn't in Lebron's hands, having the ball in Wade's hands is a pretty good second option.

    John Wall's TS% is 49%. That's pretty bad, and it's a huge drop-off from Lebron's. That's Rafer-esque. There's no reason for them to take turns running the offense. In other words, if both Wall and Lebron are on the floor, the offense should be run through Lebron.

    And that turns Wall into a spot up 3pt shooter....which he sucks at.

    Sooo you are telling me that Dwyane Wade becomes a spot-up three-point shooter during the times in which LeBron is running the offense?

    WOW.

    You are braindead. WATCH BASKETBALL INSTEAD OF BASING EVERYTHING OFF RANDOM STATS THAT ARE NOT EVEN RELEVANT. Yes, Dwyane Wade is a poor spot-up shooter smh.

    You are seriously r****ded.

    Once again, had you not raped that guy, your team would have been easily the worst in this league (now, the worst team is the guy who you raped). Only reason your team looks respectable is pure luck.

    You are a moron.

    Nope, not at all. Wade doesn't need the ball to be effective. He's very good at cutting, slashing, and either finishing or getting fouled. There's a reason his TS% is so high (58%) despite his poor perimeter shooting. And because of that, he's a suitable complement to Lebron.

    John Wall's TS% is 49%. That means he doesn't score efficiently. And that's why I don't think he's a good complement to Lebron. A John Wall/Lebron James combination reminds me of a Larry Hughes/Lebron James combination...and that didn't work out.

    Maybe we're going about this all wrong. You're the one who decided to pair Wall and Lebron. Why don't you explain how they'd work together?
