I think the undisputed ones are curry, Durant, harden, giannis, porzingis, Davis, LeBron if you could guarantee 3 years of good play.  

Westbrook is questionable.  

 

I think Gordon might be jimmy butler ish

I agree with the comparison to Jimmy Butler in that Butler is a combo wing and Gordon is a combo forward and that right now they aren't good enough to be the best players on a championship winning team but Gordon has room for growth and I personally think Butler is maxed out. 

Would you not do a Westbrook for Gordon straight up?

I think its undisputed that Westbrook is a better individual player.  I'm just not sure if he's anything more than the evolutionary Iverson.  Poor defense.  He can win games by himself but I'm not sure, with the way he plays, if you could win a game where Westbrook doesn't have an above average game.

Westbrooks shot selection at times is poor and he needs to work on getting other players on his team involved more but I'd personally take Westbrook. Having watched Westbrook play a few times last season and a couple of games this season I wouldn't say his overall defense is bad but he tends to gamble a lot which could be by design (most likely not knowing what he's like lol) and tries to play the passing lanes for steals and crash the glass for rebounds.

I’d add Kyrie and Towns to your list... and probably Klay

Towns hasn't developed like he should have so far.  

Klay is more of an elite role player.  Not sure he can do what he does by himself

Yeah, those are names you’d just have to really think about. I think it is safe to say that Aaron and Giannis are the two best of that draft class. Credit to Hennigan for that one

Giannis wasn't in that class.

Damn, you’re right.. he was in when we drafted Victor... I forget, he’s still so young!
