Love that dude.

This is the roster:

Durant

Melo

Paul George

Draymond Green

Klay Thompson

Kyrie Irving

Jimmy Butler

Demarcus Cousins

DeAndre Jordan

Kyle Lowry

DeMar DeRozan

Harrison Barnes

**

This team has shooting (Durant, Irving, Thompson on court during clutch time isn't fair), versatility, multiple players who can guard, handle and score from two or three positions and a great ability and willingness to defend.  Jimmy Butler and Draymond will do a lot of crucial dirty work.  They're big additions.

If I have a relative concern, it's point guard.  Kyrie murders the international 3 point line and will put on some shooting exhibitions, but it's crucial that he and Kyle Lowry understand game situations - when to assert themselves, when to be selfless, to make sure to share the ball with a gifted group that can create their own shots.

Barnes may be a head scratcher, perhaps you even argue DeRozan, but if you're looking for multiple position depth, they're consistent with that philosophy.

What do you think?
