    Perhaps not but I don't think the 09 Cavs win 66 games with Curry.

    I go Stephen curry. He's a true leader and a top 3 all time unstoppable offensive force. Arguably the GOAT offensive force

    If you are starting a franchise your goal is to bring a product that fans will see and also a team that wins and you can build on.

    6'8 260 do it all guy that can also score 23-25 PPG (28-30PPG in his prime)

    vs

    6'3 190 Godly shooter who can do other things well but not great.


    The easy answer is Lebron James.

    James easily don't even have to think about it.

    The simple fact that he was a great player since he was 21 while Curry wasn't even a notable player until he was 25.

    And as good as Curry is now, James at his best is still better (2009, 2013).

    There's actually very few players I would take over Bron to start a franchise.

    He's a tank who never gets injured, he gives you 11+ years of elite play, he's not only a great offensive player but a good defender and most importantly he can mask alot of a teams' weaknesses because of his versatility.

    He has his problems but he's extremely reliable.

    If I'm the Warriors I'd rather have Curry, LeBron would be a much worse fit with them. Starting a franchise though, LeBron easily. He'll turn literally any roster in the league into a playoff/title contender. Don't think you could say the same for Curry. There's no circumstance I could envision LeBron scoring 29 points combined through two Finals games and having his team win in two consecutive routs

    Warriors started their franchise with Curry

    The Cavs with Lebron

    Who's been more successful to date?

    The Warriors basically did start a franchise with Steph and became what they are today.

    Meanwhile, the Cavs couldn't build shit around LeBron

    Well, when he left and they went into 76ers mode, they were able to get some assets for his return.

    3 number 1 picks, right?

    Kyrie's one, who has a bright future still.

    Wasted on Bennett () and traded Wiggins for Love ( in hindsight)


    Imagine the things Bron could've taught Wiggins

    obviously Curry, I'm a winner, not a 2/7 type of guy

    Are you joking?

    Curry is the ultimate winner...it's all he cares about.

    Looking at NBA history, the TWO MOST valuable commodities are:

    - Low post big men who can dominate both sides of the ball


    - Perimeter players 6'5 and up who are great all around players and great alpha dogs in one. Typically, these guys can play a minimum of three positions at great levels.

    Of course there are other great iconic players who aren't either of these. But I would rather build around a Bron, MJ, Bird, Magic, Kobe, Wilt, Kareem, etc. than Steph.

    And it's not about Steph's ability either. NOBODY combines shooting, passing, and handles like Steph. But when starting a franchise, I think the two categories I mentioned are the easiest to build around. They cover up MORE HOLES. And the perimeter guys can switch between many positions effortlessly. But to Steph's credit, he's one of the RARE 6'3 and under guards whose dominance is like the bigger perimeter players. Its just the physical side and positional versatility that's the difference
