Now that the draft is over and free agency and the trades are all but done, what are the best big three combos in the league? Feel free to throw Kyrie, Harden, and Durant in there if you think that is going to happen. Don't include players injured for the year like Klay. This is no order yet. Curry, Green, Oubre (maybe Wiseman) James, Davis, and a lot of players almost a third (Kuzma, Gasol, Harrell etc) Kahwi, George, Ibaka Luka, Kristaps, ? Harden, Wall, Wood Ja, JJJr, Winslow? Zion, Ball/Bledsoe, Adams/Ingram Jokic, Murray, Harris McCollum, Lillard, Covington/Nurkic Russell, Towns, Edwards/Rubio Lowry, Vanvleet, Siakam Kemba, Tatum, Brown Embiid, Simmons, ? Kyrie, Durant, Harden Giannis, Jrue, Middleton Warren, Sabonis, Brodgon/Oladipo Butler, Bam, Herro? Trae, Collins, Bogdon (Gallo?). And of course Paul, Booker, Ayton
First you have to identify the bog threes for each team. I don’t think there is one at this point. It’s mainly all big twos with potential 3s. We fit comfortably into that ourselves.
Best ones to me are 1. James, Davis, Shroder 2. Kyrie, Durant, Levert 3. Kemba, Tatum, Brown 4. Booker, Paul, Ayton 5. Dame, Mccollum, Nurkic 6. Jokic, Murray, Porter
There's always this talk of the big 3 in the nba these days, but there isn't really a group that stands out. Maybe...the suns, celtics and nuggets have the closest to having a big 3. There are a lot of great 2's though. Lakers Mavs (when one is healthy and going) Heat Clippers Nets Big 1 +1(almost a legit star) Dame and McC Most notable i listed. The nba is actually more balance these days.
I would not discount GS. I think Wiseman is going to be a star. I have watched a lot of workout footage and he has an outside shot that looks easy with good form. OTH, I think Edwards and Ball will both be very disappointing.
Wiseman might be a star, but next year? Big men often take a while to figure things out. And even though it was only 5 games with Steph last year, they looked absolutely awful. Klay is a bigger piece to the puzzle than most people realize. Steph and Klay are the epitome of "the sum is greater than the parts". I just don't see Steph carrying a team even with talents like Oubre and Green. I see them as a .500 team at max, but more likely the 11th seed in the West.
Agree 100% regarding Golden State. They really needed Klay back. A backcourt of Steph and Klay is dangerous and top 5 in the NBA. It really takes both of them to elevate that team, and each other, to a championship level. They needed another knockdown shooter to help replace Klay but instead added Oubre, who I like but I don't see him being a good replacement for Klay. I think he's more of an upgrade over Harrison Barnes and a better 3rd or 4th option behind Steph, Klay, and Green. A lineup now with Steph, Wiggins, Oubre, Green, and Wiseman doesn't look like a contender to me. They're also lacking depth. They'll fight for an 8th seed and is probably a team no one will want to face in the first round but their title window closed with Klay's injury.
