Lebron + Westbrook or KD + Wade Right Now

[Foster5k]

Which would you prefer right now. I'm not talking about looking into the future. I'm saying if you could have either of these two right now for one year, which duo would you want?

[USABall]

LeBron and Westbrook no second thought

[MP.Trey]

LeBron and Westbrook without a doubt

[Qwyjibo]

LeBron and Westbrook no second thought
Yep.

[KrizMiz]

how is this even a question ?

[Jameerthefear]

LeBron and Westbrook without a doubt
^^

[moe94]

Are people really that down on Wade? Or that high on LeBron? Which is it?

[Scholar]

LeBron and Westbrook all day, everyday. Why would anyone take Wade and KD? Wade is declining and wouldn't be as beneficial to Durant as Westbrook currently is. LeBron is in his prime and Russell is almost there, so this duo would be better.

[HomieWeMajor]

I think we can wrap up this thread now mods.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Better question would be LeBron vs KD and Wade.

[Crafty]

Lebron > Kd + wade + westbrook

[PJR]

I'll take LeBron and D.Wade.

[tpols]

Westbrook and bron is a terrible fit.. KD and Wade is a great fit. Ill take them.

[francesco totti]

Right now, lebron and westbrook.
I think lebron/kd the level of difference isnt much.Yes, lebron is best..but kd is close. Whereas westbrook right now far better then wade IMO. The advantage fo rheat comes with role players over okc.

[Qwyjibo]

Westbrook and bron is a terrible fit.. KD and Wade is a great fit. Ill take them.
Same thing was said about Lebron+Wade when Lebron went to Miami. "Fit" matters very little if you have the best player in the entire league.

[cos88]

lebron better than durant
westbrook better than wade


if you put 09 wade it would be a nice thread.

[Fudge]

Gimme Durant and Westbrook.

[tpols]

Same thing was said about Lebron+Wade when Lebron went to Miami. "Fit" matters very little if you have the best player in the entire league.
Durant is the second best player though:confusedshrug: It's also my opinion that Wade could put up better stats and performances if he had KD instead of Lebron because KD can distract the defense just as much but he doesnt require the ball in his hands. Wade is also far smarter than RW and would hit KD all day.

[Leftimage]

2 alphas > former alpha + beta

Westbrook would explode under Lebron's watch. Each has never had a teammate as athletic as the other. It would be pure mayhem.

[Flash31]

Lebron > Kd + wade + westbrook


No
Do YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BASKETBALL at all?


You go ahead and put LeBron and supporting cast up against
Wetbrook,Wade,Durant and supporting cast

This isn't BOS Big 3 where LeBron dominates but loses,he would get annihilated


But to answer this q,easily Wade and KD
fit and play style play a huge part
Wade and KD are both great off-ball players and they both are very efficient,can get to the line and rim and create severe mismatches at their positions

LeBron may be LeBron but WB isn't exactly efficient or has good bb iq now.
And LeBron isn't a great off-ball player and Westbrook isn't as proficient at the rim or mid-range as Wade is,so theyd be taking turns while Wade,KD would be a team fit.

If it was say CP3,Curry with LeBron but WB does a lot of extremely ill advised things and takes a lot of stupid shots and is not very efficient and compared to Wade is an inferior playmaker and turns the ball over quite a bit making stupid decisions

Wade knows his roles whether its alpha,num 1 scoring option,num2 man,defense,playmaking whatever s required WB thinks he's the MAN.

In this hypothetical matchup,Wade and KD would trap LeBron and force Westbrook to beat them and with WB shot selection,bb iq,and how recklessly he plays and his fg efficiency and how good he can shoot Wade and KD would win.

You take LeBron out the game and WB is all alone on an island doing what WB does,on the other hand Wade and KD are a perfect fit and their styles blend together rather than clash like WB,LeBron

WB has less efficency than Wade,less playmaker,isnt as great off the ball and is a less shooter than Wade.

LeBron,WB would be in foul trouble and KD,Wade would be shooting free throws early in each quarter.

[Flash31]

lebron better than durant
westbrook better than wade


if you put 09 wade it would be a nice thread.

doesnt work like that

This isnt 2 on 2 or one on one where each person plays simple man to man.

In a team situation 5-5 LeBron gets trapped and the ball is forced out of his hands and you're relying on WB to win,

BB IQ,playmaking,knowing roles,being perfect fits makes a difference

and WB,LeBron clash way way more than Wade,LeBron.

WB is way less effiicient,doesn't defer or play roles just plays his game and isnt as smart in shot selection,playmaking as Wade and doesn't have the iq,knowing your role and knowing whats best to win,

Wade has a post game,is a good off-ball player and can adapt to the role necessary to win regardless of what that role entails WB tries to be the MAN.

[MavsSuperFan]

how is this even debatable

Lebron is clearly the best of the 4
and wade is clearly the worst of the 4
and there is an argument for westbrook > Durant.

[Human Error]

Are people really that down on Wade? Or that high on LeBron? Which is it?
Lebron is better than Durant. Westbrook is better than Wade. No doubt about it.

[Trollsmasher]

Damn, can you imagine GOATbrook playing with someone who can, unlike Durant, actually spot up?

[chazzy]

[Human Error]

Westbrook and bron is a terrible fit.. KD and Wade is a great fit. Ill take them.
Fit is overrated, great talents will prevail. People like you said Lebron and Wade would not work because they play the same game but look at you now.

[Trollsmasher]

......
check the shooting splits from this and last season before negging me for the truth, buddy

[Fudge]

Fit is overrated, great talents will prevail. People like you said Lebron and Wade would not work because they play the same game but look at you now.
2012-13 Lakers say hi.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

How are LeBron and Westbrook a bad fit? Westbrook is a better 3pt shooter than Wade is. Surround those 2 with shooters and that would be a great team and GOAT level transition duo.

[Rondo]

LeBron & Westbrook obviously.

I'd still take LeBron if it were KD, Westbrook and Wade. He's going to be the GOAT imo and is just unstoppable. I don't like the guy but I'm taking him over any other option every single time.

[TylerOO]

THIS IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE LeBRON AND WESTBROOK

[moe94]

and there is an argument for westbrook > Durant.

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA:oldlol:

For the record, you people suggesting Lebron is better than KD + Westbrook, if you're not trolling, you should never comment on basketball ever again.

[Rondo]

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA:oldlol:

He is though.

[I<3NBA]

i'm taking KD and Wade. Westbrook's stupidity is so great a handicap even Lebron can't overcome it.

[AintNoSunshine]

Nsis

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA:oldlol:

I think KD is better, just saying its close

LeBron > KD
Westbrook > Wade

Pretty much a no brainer here.

[NumberSix]

What's the point of KD without Westbrook?

[TheReal Kendall]

This thread is hilarious :lol

[FPJ]

Hmm, its actually a very interesting debate, more complex than people give it credit for.

So its Wade and Durant + 3 vs Lebron and Westbrick +3.

The first big question mark is if Wade is trying (he often does look like he's not). Lets say he is, though.

First situation. Wade and Bron both run their offense. Imo, Wade is a very underrated passer and has an incredible bball IQ (yea, he can do some dumb shit sometimes but thats because he doesnt often care or is just bored). We all know Bron. So we have both Durant and Westbrick off the ball. Wade can split the defense with a screen, Bron is a tank and destroys everything infront of him so you just have to let him shoot and see if he's hot or not. Off the ball, Durant >>>Westbrick imo. (i assume they each guard each other, if not, its too much of a guessing game).

Overall , i would give a slight advantage to Wade and Durant

Second situation, Wade and Westbrick run the offense, Durant and Lebron off the ball. Westbrick is a turnover machine (and Wade defending him certainly wont make it better) and Lebron without the ball is just not Lebron, he's not a catch and shoot type of player (not saying he cant shoot, he's overall game is just not that efficient if he doesnt have the ball). Lebron gets frustrated easily and Westbrick's bonehead plays will get him out of rhythm. (He even manages to frustrate Durant). Westbrick lives for individual plays while Lebron is all for team work. Dont really see it working.

If Durant has the ball, he has lots of options, drive (look for FTs), shoot or pass to a penetrating Wade.

Wade and Durant slight advantage also, imo.

2012-13 Lakers say hi.
don't mistake chemistry with fit

[jhuan16]

Lebron + KD, end of discussion.

[All Net]

how is this even a question ?

Thinking the same.
