I think they could still get something like Tyler Herro and two unprotected firsts for him.

It hasn’t really been seen whether he can do this on a good team, but playing a more valuable position should still give him high value to some contenders.

I think pressure is off of them because of the Jaquez pick. Butler could realistically slide into more of a super Iguodala role and they’re still going to be able to contend since they have another allstar on the way.

It begs the question of where Curry would rank all time if he leaves the Warriors to join a contender and three-peats. Surely that would hypothetically rank him above hypothetical 2 ring Jordan and hypothetical 1 ring LeBron.

If it’s double elimination, then Steph. If it’s single elimination then Jokic or Embiid.

I like just making the tournament worth bonus wins. 5 wins for first place, 3 wins for second, and 1 win for Top 4.

The winner of the tournament will probably make the playoffs in some form anyways, but this gives good incentive for making the knockout stage and trying to win the tournament. Can turn someone like a 3rd seed into the potential one seed and home court through their conference.

How is Butler Tier 5? And where’s Bam? Do they not broadcast the playoffs where KOC lives?

Caruso and Williams to Miami.

DeRozan to the Knicks.

Lavine and Vucevic to the Warriors

Probably Wemby because he has to take 1 step for every 3 steps Steph takes.

The only championship run players with a highest WS/48 for their championship playoff run are outside of the 1950s are Michael Jordan in 1991, Chris Andersen in 2013, and Michael Jordan in 1996.

Anytime you’re in a list with only MJ and Birdman, you’re in elite company.

If he hits the games threshold, the award is his.

The wings, Kawhi, Butler, Wiggins etc are all more valuable than the small guards. Too easy to get the small guard switched onto a wing who can easily drop 47-56 points on them.

Yeah, he’s going to walk into the league and win defensive player of the year as a rookie.

By year 4 he will be the scoring champ.

Westbrook shot 4-20 in an elimination game. Harden shot 2-10 in the game before that to waste a 43 point Westbrook game. Harden also shot 2-10 in the game before that to a blow a game where they held the Heat to only 91 points.
