Realgm's Top 25 most valuable players - vote for #1!!! 

Post#1 » by dockingsched » Thu Feb 17, 2011 6:59 am

Welcome to Realgm's 3rd kinda-annual Top 25 most valuable players voting process thingy!


In 07-08, the trade board community came together to painstakingly vote for the top 25 valuable players according to trade value at the time.

Here were the results from Nov-Dec of 08:

07-08 Rankings

As you can see, some familiar names, and some that probably don't stand a chance to make it in this time around. We once again came together a season later to rank the 25 players with the most trade value:

08-09 Rankings

Since that last vote in August-September of 09, the trade board's rankings have gone dormant...until now.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Rules:


In a post, please vote for who you believe has the most trade value of the 10 nominees, taking into account everything that goes into determining trade value (skill, talent, attitude, age, contract, injuries, etc). in that same post, list a player you believe should be added to the nominee list. votes will be accepted up to 24hrs from the timestamp of the start of the thread.

example of a voting post:

vote for: sasha vujacic
nominate: adam morisson


without further delay, your nominees for the top spot (using our last top 10 rankings with no roy and with the addition of last yr rookie of the yr and this yr's favorite for rookie of the yr):


Carmelo Anthony
DOB: 5/28/84

First place: LeBron James. The league's best player and biggest ticket; he'd be underpaid at the max and he's not even making that.

To be added: Dirk Nowitzki.

Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”
