For way too long, DPOY has been centered around rim protection and the guys who get the most blocks win the award.

Gobert is nowhere close to the best defensive player in the league.

Sorry, he just isn’t.

Give me a versatile defender who can lock guys down and force difficult shots over the best help defender all day long.

We should be better than this today. DPOY should be going to guys like Bam, Giannis, Herb Jones etc.

I agree with that.

Yep been saying this for years. Bam will never get DPOY because he doesn’t block enough shots which is what the casuals who vote on this award focus on. Top 3 this year should be Bam, AD, and Herb Jones

Well maybe submitting an accurate injury report would help?
Well, maybe they can go fuck themselves. If he can play he plays and if he can’t he doesn’t and his body is fickle and often when he ramps up in warm ups things don’t respond. Him playing hurt plus Kuminga’s retarded ass jumping on his knee is why we’re here to begin with.

Which is all the more reason to just list him as questionable every game. Then they can make the "game time decision" and still be within the rules.

This is self-inflicted by the Sixers.

I keep forgetting the rules in the NBA. You can tank, you just can’t talk about a plan to tank out loud. You can make a farce of the injury report too.

I wonder how much teams would really be willing to give up. He's 33, he hasn't had the impact most thought he would and he's never exactly been a "plus defender". The Bucks would no doubt be asking for a lot.
Yup.

They will not be able to recoup the same value.

…..it’s even worse for the Bucks because the move actually made the Celtics even BETTER.

Portland really fucked them over twice…lol
