Nice job, nice list.
Thanks DrP.!

I'm just stopping by to say in the real world there is noway Pascal has more value than Porzingis even on one leg & being a RFA.

Just wanted to second TJ in saying thanks for doing this!

I think we all considered him, but if people voted like me, I thought he wouldn’t be worth his deal this year, and his Bird rights are only valuable if the max deal you are forced to give him pays off, and that is a risk right now.

Thanks for doing this.

Just a shame people didn't vote for my boy Jrue making this list completely invalid.

But srsly I can't believe we didn't have Porzingis on the list :O

Made this a sticky.

Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell too high
DeAndre Ayton too low
Cling Capela shouldn't have made it.

Lol at Kawhis and KDs expiring deals along with WBs albatross having top 25 value. Rofl at Pascal S.

Westbrook and Siakam seem odd to be on here.

Feels like Fox is too low imo. I'm a fan of Westbrook but there's just no way I'm trading more value for him at 30 years old on a supermax extension than Fox on the 2nd year of a rookie deal. There are multiple other guys above him that I'd give up less value for.

I know it's what teams might think and this vote came at the worst time of the season for Jokic, but it's silly seeing Towns still above him on any list. Jokic is by far the better player. I expect the Towns vs Jokic debate to end up looking like when Griffin was peers with Curry/Harden

I think Jokic & Towns is very close... I actually agree with the order because:

- Towns the potential to become a dominate two-way player. I don't expect Jokic to improve much beyond what he currently is (which is pretty darn good) but he is limited defensively.
- One more additional cheap year on his contract for Towns.

But it's very close.

It's not great but I think we can all agree it's better than what Bill Simmons put together

Bill reads this forum so I thought he may have taken a few more hints from us than he did

Westbrook should be much lower.

George should be higher.

Leonard should be higher.

Mitchell should be lower.

Capela should be a little bit higher.

Agree that Porzingis should be above Siakam.

I’m a little bit shocked that Markannen didn’t make the list. Weird.

Westbrook might be the only guy who could make this list and a worst contract list.

Gobert has really big shoulders in his ESPN mugshot

You want Porzingis on a max who is constantly injured even before tearing his ACL?

Good luck with that. It's arguably a BAD contract not a top 25 good contract,

LOL @ Westbrook #18. There’s no way that’s a positive contract, let alone one of the best of the league. He’s already hitting the decline phase of his career and he’s still got 4.5 years to go at over 40 million per.
