I will be selecting Durant (early) and Anthony Randolph (late) on fantasy squads this season!

Would you take Durant over Dwight Howard?

My thoughts are: “Poor Portland.”

KD Is going to be something special to watch this year. Like Darkness said they got a good squad. I wonder does Portland wish they could go back in that draft & start over. Imagine KD With that team know. B-Roy, LaMarcus, Travis Outlaw need i say more?

Watching KD @ Texas, I could just see that he had “it.” Not only was he clutch, but his teammates seemed to like him too, which is a an underrated aspect of a player’s potential success. I’m not saying your teammates gotta love you, but if they hate playing with you (cough mamba cough) it makes shit more difficult.

And as far as talent around him, I like what OKC is doing. They have good talent at most positions, and I mean talent that’s already producing, not Golden State Warriors talent. Westbrook and Green (and I expect Harden as well) are all already average players at worse, and they’re all young. I think we’re looking at Portland 2.0.

KD is Duncan to Lebron’s Shaq.
I would take either on my team.

I’m sorry, I have to disagree with you Q.I’m a big Kevin Durant fan, but I’m an even bigger Lebron fan. Lebron is a beast he’s already the best small forward ever(Larry Bird included).He has the body to take that beating that an 82-game schedule will give to you night in & night out.Lebron needs a better post game to take advantage of that big body. Durant is awesome but I don’t see OKC putting anything around him for him to win a championship.If the economy continues to decline,you’ll see fewer small market teams making any attempt at all to make a real championship run.But all this is just opinionated.

He’s Lamar Odom with a stroke.Even though he’s not where he needs to be yet defensively. I did see a little improvement in that area last season. He needs to be in a bigger market to get the exposure & accolades he deserves.

All I have to say is… Kevin Durant has the potential to be the G.O.A.T…. And so does Lebron..

But with that bein said Lebron is goin into his 7th year in the league.. And wut more could he really improve on?? Don’t say shooting because gettin better in shooting is not a guarantee.. and he’s already been in the league 7 years and haven’t improved in shooting that much… His fg % got better because of efficiency… Shot selection basically.. And He already has the best feel for the game I have ever seen for someone his age so improve on something that’s already great will be hard to do… But don’t get me wrong I still feel he will get better.. But how much better??…

Now with that bein said KD is goin into his 3rd year in the league.. He has his head on his shoulders right… And he could improve on many aspects of his game.. He can still get a better feel for the game.. He has potential to get better on defense.. And his passing skill aren’t that bad.. And he could improve on that also.. And if he gets any better in shooting the nba will need to change the rules.. A la wilt.. So I think his ceiling stat will be (34pts 11rb 5ast 2stl 2blk)…

So goin off POTENTIAL Kevin Durant wins for me.. His potential is ridiculously great.. So I feel he will be better then lebron.. That’s just my opinion tho…

@Chicagorilla

Hopefully, Greg Oden just starts it like Bowie and goes on to finish it like Hakeem. The thing that worries you about GO is the psychological/mental aspect of his game and not so much on the physical.

Maybe Oden should take a page from history and learn from Robert Parish’s story.

The Chief was in a similar situation when he was drafted by Golden State. The Warriors expected big things from him the moment he arrived but it never really worked out. After a few years, they traded him to the Celtics and the rest is history…
