Message: [QUOTE="Rocktheworld, post: 2699443, member: 5037"] I mean if you’re trying to be the GOAT you can’t join a truly stacked team. As good as KD is and as revered he will be, he permanently removed himself from the GOAT discussion by joining the Warriors. The only team that I can see LeBron joining that would help him win titles and not take him out of that discussion would be Philly, and that’s only because they are so young. I think just about anywhere else, the team is too stacked or established (Houston, GSW, Minnesota) and/or it would be more work getting them to be Finals than would be worth (LA, NY) Part of his GOAT narrative if he were to join Philly would be that he made a significant change to his game (as would be necessary to play with Simmons) and brought up those young stars, aging well himself in the process as he becomes a more true small forward. The longevity aspect of his claim to the GOAT would be pretty staggering at that point. He will likely make it to 40/10/10 (in thousands) within the next 5 years wherever his next stop is: assuming he averages 90 games a year for a round number, he would only need to average 20/4/4 across those 5 years to get there by the end of 2023.
