    What do people think?

    I know it couldn't happen, but in this thought experiment, the two switched teams prior to the beginning of 2016-17 season.

    How would it play out?

    Cavs would still be good but the Warriors would have still basically replaced Harrison Barnes with Lebron James.

    o_Oo_O Both (Certainly the Warriors) are probably in the Finals, with the Warriors still winning.

    Same result. Both teams in finals and GSW winning it all.
    The ball movement on the Warriors would be at an even higher level than it already is right now. They already get a lot of team assists on made shots but with LBJ gotta figure it'd be even higher.

    Durant is a decent passer. Not quite Lebron but he's solid, and nobody in the east is challenging a Durant & Kyrie Cavs lol.

    GSW would go 0-98

    Lerbrun and Draymond would physically clash in pre season and both will have severe injuries. Curry while trying to intervene in their physical flight would blow his ankle out.

    Cavs would struggle with no Lebron to coach the team and make roster moves

    KD is a better fit for GS than Cavs, so both teams worse off. KD and GS are a perfect fit.
