RJ Bell: “We would agree that, if you can get Kyrie instead of Westbrook, that’s a big upgrade. I think the Lakers are a viable title team in that case.”
AJ Hoffman: “Massive upgrade. With just Kyrie, without the KD-for-Anthony Davis deal? I agree.”
RJ Bell: “How does that stack up against the Nets Big 3 of KD, Kyrie, and Harden, because that Big 3 was the favorite...”
Scott Seidenberg: “Better. Not to mention that LeBron can play the 5, and you got yourself a pretty interesting lineup.”
