Well it’s a little slow and we’re hearing a lot of things thrown around about Kd and Ad and kyrie all being top 5 or 10 nba players

I’m curious how you guys rank them.

So share your top list

and I know everyone is going to put Robinson and Trier on that list but hey just maybe we could have a serious list too

For me the top 5 is

Kawhi
Greek freak
Lbj
Harden
Kd

I’d put
Ad
Curry
Kyrie
Westbrook
Embid

To make the top 10


Thoughts?

could he be again ? maybe i guess. this year he wasn't though. i don't think that can be argued. he's getting votes here because he was injured for part of the season and because of the past.

Honestly, if PG wins DPOY, then he has to win MVP IMO.

PG Harden and AD need to move up a tier. They've all been better or at east as good as Kawhi this year. Lillard and Embiid need to move up to 2. Westbrook needs to drop to 3 at this point. He's just too inefficient to stay in the same tier as those other 4 as much as i like the guy and think he's been slightly underrated recently.

Agreed. I put PG ahead of LeBron. No defense, no top 5 for me.

I can't wrap my mind around whether Giannis or LBJ is better. I'm fixated on looking at players from our point of view - who would be better for us to acquire if we had a choice, given their age, contract, future trajectory, etc. Glad they pay Perry to do this.
