Dude, do I really have to teach you NBA History? There's being drafted to an ideal situation, then there's developing into an ideal situation.

Larry Bird wasn't drafted to team of HOF players.

Larry Bird WAS the reason they were successful, and became better once they got McHale and Parish.

Michael Jordan wasn't drafted to a team of HOF players.

Michael Jordan WAS the reason they were successful, and became better once they got Pippen, Horace Grant, and Phil Jackson.

Kawhi Leonard was traded to a team with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili. Their coach is Gregg Popovich who has already won 4 NBA Championships.

The Spurs were already good WITHOUT Leonard. To me, Kawhi is a great player in a good situation, but he's not a great player.

Just saying, which GSW players you think will be HoFers?

At best I'd say only Curry has a strong case, the rest not so much.

Barbosa? Lol
Really? Lol
You just lost me there.
Not many journeyman guys in the HOF that have career averages of 11 ppg 2.2 apg and 3 RPG. Lol
Same with Iggy, totally not a HOFer.
Way too many better wing players in his era.
Dude is a role player that has averaged 13 ppg for his career, hardly a HOFer.
