his career might be over, at the very least a series of concerning injuries, lots of missed games, and a lot of money

Vote Ball

Nominate Gobert

Klay

Simmons. If things go wrong again, few GM’s keep their job. We’re voting on how they assess trade value.

Beal. It’s the size of the deal, the $57 mil player option, but especially the No Trade clause

Bertans - While his value isn't the third worst in the Mavs perspective due to his shot and gravitational pull, league wise, he belongs here.

Gobert - It's knee jerk due to a bad start, I thought he was overpaid when his deal was initially inked, however, the start has further dropped him

Sorry. Thanks

I’ll nominate Bagley, but I’m also worried about Zach LaVine and Jordan Poole.

Bertans

Poole

Gobert also made the top 25 value list as a HM. Can a player make both lists?

Vote Lonzo

Nominate Poole

I really want to go Bertans and his 4ppg here, but I’ll give him the edge over Lonzo because he seems to have an unending list of ailments. If Lonzo had played a few games or looked like coming back some time soon I’d have him later.

I don’t see why different voters might put a player on both lists. The best players have big salaries, and these are usually the ones that can make the impact that decides between winning and losing. However, if they fall down to just being mediocre-to-good, then that big salary is an anchor on the whole team, and sometimes for a long time. They walk the edge of a cliff.

If a voter here feels that NBA GM’s believe a high salaries guy is going to fall off that cliff, I have no problem with them voting for them.

V: Bertans
N: Gobert

Vote - Bertans
Nom - Rozier

Vote: Klay considered Lonzo here, but Klay just hasn't been good at all. Worst comes to worst for Lonzo he can simply be wiped off your cap and insurance pays most of the contract for you.
