PER doesn't scale up well. It means far less over small sample sizes.

And again, I REALLY like the trade for LA.

But I do have concerns with his health. The athleticism isn't what it was. You can even see it in HOW he defends, especially against the stretch 5s where he stays at the elbow instead of risking getting blown by. He looks like someone who seems to know he's a step slower than he was.

Just try to find some videos of him early in his career vs this season. He absolutely isn't moving the same way.

Think you can go ahead and call a time of death on that Warriors Dynasty you've been trying to bury for 5 years.

The Butler trade was a desperation swing and it just won't matter.

Yeah it will make them more competitive and fun to watch. Ultimately no chance to contend.

The Warriors are back.

They aren't good.

You can let your hate go now. They can't hurt you anymore.

Not until Draymond is gone.

Dallas didn't look terrible tonight, missing much of their lineup.

42-17-8 for “washed” GOAT LeBron

Much deserved for Draymond.

Awesome, Lebron beat a team that hates their coach/GM.

SGA with three 50-pt games this season.

Yes LeBronies the NBA is bigger than LeBron now.

Is that the excuse for the Warriors having a poor roster and Steph declining significantly this year? Granted, not everyone can maintain an elite level into their late 30s/40s like the GOAT though.

They're not going to be terrible - that's a good team.

Maybe not a great one, but they do a couple of things really well, especially when Davis is back.

I don't think they'll fight their way out of the play-in because they have too much climbing to do, but I think they'll get through the play in and be a tough opponent in the 1st round.

He was outstanding last night -- played as well as I've seen him play in a really long time.

I think we're starting to get our answer to "how will the addition of Luka impact LeBron..."

He absolutely seems re-charged by it.
