How is one of the most marketable players who is one of the best offensive players, a very good rebounder, locked in and playing on one of the better Western teams not nominated yet?
I can't stand the guy, but really?

V: Griffin
N: Beal

which poses an interesting question - are you trying to win championships or trying to make money?

if my franchise had no chance of making or competing in the playoffs, then Griffin clearly better for marketing purposes. but if your goal is to win a championship, then I would much rather have Lillard locked in at $3 to $5 million for the next 3 1/2 seasons than Griffin locked in at $16 to $21 million for the next 4 1/2 seasons.

vote: Lillard
nominate: Wade

I don't think they are mutually exclusive, especially with the modest success Paul and Griffin have had and how young Griffin is. I'm not touting Yi or Lin and their marketability. I'm touting one of the best offensive big men in the game, one of the best rebounders, one of the best passing big men and one of the most well known players in the league.
Having his marketing appeal is a major bonus and a major reason why one of the notoriously cheapest owners has the most committed salary in the NBA.

Meanwhile, I think Lillard should be up there as I don't agree with Love or LMA as high as they are (contract situation) or Drummond.(I expected much more growth and team success)

V: Lillard
N: MCW

Who is picking Wade? He is expiring and isn't top 10 anymore. No reason he is more valuable than a 2nd year player payed nothing.
PG: Russell Westbrook, Reggie Jackson
SG: Andre Roberson, Anthony Morrow, Jeremy Lamb
SF: Kevin Durant, KJ McDaniels, Perry Jones
PF: Serge Ibaka, Nick Collison, Robert Covington
Cc: Al Jefferson, Steven Adams, Kendrick Perkins, Mitch McGary

V: Blake.
N: Iguodala. Why? I got someone else to take my Klay vote, and I would take Iguodala the way he is playing over 4 over Wade for 1 year if pushing all in. Lock down defender at the position you need to beat the best (Miami, Indy, OKC all rock sf stars). 12m a year declining each year. If you are going win now and not stupid, hard to beat Iguodala for a return to target. You could make a similar argument for Noah, but I'm going Iguodala.

Vote: Blake Griffin
Nominate: Michael Carter-Williams {Would have gone with Bledsoe before the injury. MCW could end up having an even more potent 2-way game though, so gets the nomination here.]

But with Wade the teams trading for him would feel they're keeping him, so I don't think his FA would hurt the value a lot

I wouldn't count on that at all. Why would he just up and sign with who trades for him, when he can instead pick where he goes?
