Anthony Davis

Kawhi - potential league mvp’s are valuable, regardless of contract length. So are their Bird rights.

Doncic best value
Nominate JJJ

Vote Harden

4 years vs 2 for Davis is too big a difference and Harden is on track to be in his prime the whole deal. Also considered Embiid here

Nominate Fox

Now that he is shooting 39% from 3 he is a high upside prospect. I'm also guessing some of the players the Kings would turn down for him would be hilarious

Yeah but he's 29. AD's two years is a problem, though.

Vote: Harden. Davis only having two years makes a big differene.
Nominate: Westbrook

Vote: Luka Doncic
Nominate: Damian Lillard

Normally AD should be 4th, but his contract situation lowers his value whereas Doncic can be retained for basically nearly a decade until he has a chance to leave which swings the pendulum for me.

Don't understand btw why Ayton is among the candidates when JJJ still isn't, I'm probably biased but I don't see at all how Ayton is the better prospect.

Vote: Embiid
Nominate: Siakam

Davis holds narrow lead and Tatum and Westbrook are tied for the nomination

Davis 5
Harden 4
Doncic 3
Embiid 3

Tatum 3
Westbrook 3
Lillard 2
Kawhi 1
JJJ 1

I think Ayton #1 pick pedigree, physical tools and putting up good numbers himself still gives him more league wide sex appeal. Ayton is a guy that the highest teams on him can convince themselves is a future MVP

Vote - Embiid

I'm expecting Harden to age well so at 32 in the last year of his contract he could still be going strong. With Embiid it depends how much one knocks him for his health history otherwise he might be first or second on this list.

Vote Harden

Nominate Westbrook
