Nominate Mitchell

Mitchell has the biggest upside has a player/contract of those remaining for me. Towns has the highest upside and also one of the worst floors for me as well, plus 6 years of security.

I think I'm higher on Durant than most, but I think we're inching closer and closer to having to just go with him.

I'm surprised at lack of love for Simmons. He's the guy with the upside to me to blow into a Giannis type MVP contender in a few years if everything goes right, and his floor is still a possible all-star this season

I know contract is a factor, but I take 1 year of the second best player in the world over most of these players.

I vote Kevin Durant

Nominate Kristaps Porzingis

I bet Thibs or the 76ers would strongly consider Towns for Durant or Simmons for Durant while the Warriors don’t even think about considering it even given the context of Durant’s contract.

Vote Simmons.
