The Breakdown

in Basketball Board
The Warriors Big Three made 5 straight Finals. Klay broke down. The Warriors ran out of gas

KD made three straight Finals and broke down

Lebron made 8 straight Finals and never missed a playoff game. He finally pulled a groin this season then shut it down to wait for some teammates

The Warriors beat the Cavs three times for their rings. Two of the Cav teams were among the worst to make the Finals

The Warriors lost to Cleveland and Canada

Steph, Klay, Green, and Lebron have three rings. It isn't that easy afterall

KD has two rings

Kawhi has broken down in his career as well. And has two rings

Lebron and the Lakers are not dead but the haters will always hate

The Warriors aren't dead either

Kawahi is the FA that makes a difference this summer for next year. Not Durant

Kawahi is the best bet to get more rings. Yes, Lebron could be washed up, Its not a horrible take I just don't agree.

I am 81% certain that the hot take First Take of the Clippers getting anyone or being meaningful is wrong.

I respect what the Warriors have done and can still do. Just not my team.

    I don't think LeBron is washed up but I think he's more a top 10 player going forward than top 1. Getting to play alongside a better player like Kawhi would allow him to breathe a little bit and save some for the playoffs. I think Bron is still capable of top 3 play in spurts, just not carrying a team all year like he did for so long.

    If he gets Kawhi he gets more rings. If he doesn't, he doesn't.

    Kawhi is a bad, bad man.

    I agree with this. I think Anthony Davis makes them an easy playoff team. Kawahi is the guy an aging Lebron needs for ring 4

    LBJ needs a really sound supporting cast and be prepared to concede some control IMO to win going forward

    If he does drive the bus going forward as he has done the rest of his career I suspect he will continue to break down

    Kawhi also looked broken last night. He had his moments but He had little interest in challenging Iggy off of the dribble. I initially thought He was saving fuel for the 4th but He never really kicked it into gear despite "decent" numbers.

    Leonard to LA would be unfair. All they would need is a few PJ Tucker types and it would be Larry OBrien time.
