Caruso would be a nice add but damn....you lose some guys in that trade. I really like all 3. Reed is a guy who is great off the bench as an energy guy. Thybulle is a defensive guy and Shake gives you scoring.

BBall Paul can’t even get minutes because Doc continues to try and jam MonTrashZel down everybody’s throat. For the sake of the player, he needs to get traded so he can actually get minutes with somebody. I wouldn’t even be here wanting a back up big through trade if the Sixers never signed Harrell and kept Bassey to be the back up 5.

Uhhhh, thoughts?

…..and am I in the minority of taking Giannis over Luka?

Because, I would.

Luka is 5 years younger, if we are talking for now yes it’s Giannis, but overall asset wise I’ll take Luka because of the extra 5 years.

Someone what related, heard an interesting stat during the game last night....Lakers have a top 8 record since their 2-10 start?

Too bad they actually count all the games.

Im taking Dame over Anthony Davis too.

Both are gimp.

Seems about right. It’s not a “best players” list. It also takes into account things like age, injury history leading to reliability in availability, team control based on the contract, contract value, etc…. Many variables in here.

I’m assuming they mean as of right now.

As of right now, I’m taking the Freak.

But, understand why Luka is #1.

I would too. Giannis can be the focal point of both my offense and my defense. I can build around it with on the ball defense and shooting.

So, no qualms about Joker > Embiid?

Because, the durability, reliability is the MAIN reason Jokic won his first MVP over Troel.

….at least imo…

It's almost pointless to list the guys that would get their GMs fired if they traded them, lol.

Dame over Davis is an interesting one, but Davis is younger if they're in the same range.

Agree on MVP number 1. I personally disagreed but the lack of games played by Embiid was a well-reasoned point of view. One of my (many) bones to pick was so many saying in 21 that Embiid would have been their selection if he had played more games. He did that and even improved upon his numbers and they still went back to back Jokic when the guy many said was better the year before but didn’t play enough did exactly that the next year.

I’m easily seduced by offense.

But, I wouldn’t take Luka over Giannis.

So, kinda ass backwards to take Dame over Davis.

….alas…..I probably would.

I just didn't realize that their meandering season since then with multiple key injuries was even at that level.

What am I missing? Why has it been cancelled?

It would really depend on what the rest of my roster looked like. Tough call for me.

Dude, I would even take Plumlee at this point.

But, not for a 1st.

My wishlist, sans Turner, are Naz, Hartenstein, Gifford, Plumlee…

…in that order.

Plumlee would fit in very well with the Thunder, could just focus on rebounding.

Weather related flight issues

Freezing rain and ice in the south today, not sure what the issue is in DC? Seems sunny and clear? Their last game was Monday in Dallas.
