Reaves easily > fossil CP3, so Luka should take Ayton to Finals just like Booker did

Unless Lebron returns

West is tougher now though.

West is tougher now though.

You mean OP didn't take into account the Suns played the Lakers without AD, the Nuggets without Murray and the Clippers without Kawhi? Shocker.

[ArbitraryWater]

What about the other teams though? How would you compare OKC for example to those Suns or Nuggets?

[highwhey]

what if i told you, booker didn't lead that team

[ShawkFactory]

Dude…what?

You’ve been reaching towards the bottom of the barrel for a while now but this one is next level. Bravo. I guess..

[90sgoat]

Marcus Smart was exactly the right pickup, that's even more important.

CP3 was the best player on the Suns that year. Booker benefited greatly from him, as with Ayton.

AD spotted the Lakers a 2-1 lead by getting 34 points in both Game 2 and 3 (2-1 lead), and then Lebron lost 3 straight without AD by choking massively with horrific numbers - it was exactly like the last 3 games of the 2010 ECSF, and to a lesser extent the 2015 Finals.

Nonsense. Ayton's numbers went down alongside CP3 and that's when everyone started to dislike him.. Meanwhile, Booker was the dominant Suns player that routinely took over games and had a dominant run to the Finals.. Similar to Ayton, Booker played even better without CP3
