Starting your franchise: Durant + Davis or LeBron + Love

[Rocketswin2013]

As rookies.

[Akrazotile]

Hmmmm.......

Thats actually an intriguingly difficult question. Have to give the edge off the top of my head to Bran/Love but a case can be made the other way.

[RichieW]

Durant and Davis. The rim protection is the difference maker.

[Foster5k]

LeBron + Love.

Durant hasn't been able to win with Westbrook + Harden + Ibaka, etc. Give LeBron that squad as a rookie and it's over for the league.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Tough question

I think I go Durant + Davis, I think Davis will be a 25/12 guy with top notch defense in a year or two, while Love is a 25/12 guy with no defense.

[Lebronxrings]

Lebron + love

Lebron is the most dominating force in all of basketball, make no mistake. Although love is really outmatched with the rest, lebron is so good that he can carry on with love. Lebron has such great vision and can make anyone good sort of like phil jackson, who made mgay and kobrick, in a player version.

It's no surprise that I'm gonna go with Durant + Davis

LeBron + Love.

Give Lebron those guys as a rookie and they don't develop into becoming anything more than role playing spot up shooters.

And then when they don't win, they get the full blame. Who's career did bran enhance?

[j3lademaster]

Lebron + Love because Lebron's the only proven winner out of the bunch.

Ever heard of Mo Williams? Guy became an All-Star playing next to LeBron.

Imagine what Westbrook, Ibaka, and Harden would do next to LeBron. Game over for the league.

Is that why shooters follow him like he is the pied freaking piper?

[TheReal Kendall]

I would rather have Durant + Davis

Mo Williams' best seasons were before he played with LeBron

[Meticode]

Mo Williams' best seasons were before he played with LeBron

Incorrect, his best season as a pro was his first year in Cleveland where he got a ton of open shots and knocked them down (if we're not counting the playoffs). He had higher assist numbers in Milwaukee because he had to facilitate the offense more, but on the Cavaliers this wasn't his job. He averaged a minute to a minute and half less in Cleveland than he did in his prime Bucks years and averaged a career high in points for Cleveland, free throw percentage and three point percentage at 44% in 08-09.
