Also,  I believe Steph had the first pick of the reserves so who did he take over Russ?

I bet it was Klay or Draymond. Team politics come over winning.

Probably.  Towns is only one I could see if it wasn't one of the Dubs.

Yeah, my inclination was either Draymond or KAT

It's almost as if Curry said, LeBron pick all your starters and then I'll pick my whole team.

I was really thinking LeBron wouldn't pick kyrie and that's why I assumed this whole thing was kept secretive.

instead now I think LeBron picked kyrie so he doesn't look like the d0uche that he is.

Not surprised James picked Kyrie. Easy PR move to initiate a public burying of the hatchet.

I like this idea to make the ASG more interesting, although I don't expect it to impact the effort level of the game at all.

See, I presume that Lebron did not pick Kyrie, but instead Curry stuck him with Kyrie.  Here's how I think it went down:

Lebron must have had the first pick and taken Durant, because Curry would have taken Durant first if he had the chance to.
I assume it was a snake draft so Curry took Harden and Giannis next. 
Then Lebron says "oh yeah, let me get two dominant bigs in AD and Cousins!" 
Then Curry has Derozan, Embiid, and Kyrie left to choose two from and says, "Oh, I am definitely sticking Kyrie with Lebron!  Haha yesssss, this is gonna be great!" and takes Derozan and Embiid.

Not a snake draft. James' first picks were probably
Durant
Davis
DMC
Kyrie

With Curry probably going

Harden

DeRozan (LeBron's already got 2 bigs)
Embiid

I think there was no way Curry is going to pick Kyrie, seeing as they play the same position, so Lebron was always going to get Kyrie. It also makes sense for Lebron to pick Kyrie over Harden as his PG.

I am judging the decision basketball-wise, because its easier than to guess agendas.

Lose-lose situation for Lebron. If Lebron picked Kyrie, then it can be seen as a PR stunt. If he didn't, then the press take that as confirmation they don't like each other.

It is always a lesser situation when a player of that stature looks to get away from you in the 1st place.
