DeMar gonna be enraged and really morph into Kobe next year.

The emergence of VanVleet

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

He is. Also, next year is his last so that + his performance this year would make him more tradable. Owing 23mil to him is a little hard to swallow though...I wonder who would be willing to trade for him?

He'd be a great fit next to kp

Giannas over KD and Jimmy

Baffling to think you really think stringer is on the level of Giannis

 

[bballkid11]

Derozan needs to be in there. Somewhere

 

[MVP]

Derozan needs to be in there. Somewhere

Steph don't deserve to be on there at all

 

[addict4sneakers]

Derozen was better last season.

I wouldn’t have put Steph on though

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Let's go Greek. They know what it is.

Is it tho?

John Collins first team over smith and kuzma is rubbish

John Collins first team over smith and kuzma is rubbish

This **** is absurd. This season hasn't been that memorable to me tbh.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Is it tho?

Again, better at what? Scoring? Playmaking, defending, rebounding?

H2H last season butler shot 40% and was held well below his averages against Milwaukee.

I’m confused

These dudes better need to be called out and publicly shamed

H2H's a bit shallow of way of comparing them, they're pretty similar statistically... That I can admit although I'm pulling for Jimmy. I just don't see how we can see it as outlandish that they are on the same level... My preference is Jimmy because of shooting/defense/iso-situations but I'm interested in why Giannas's of another tier

Kuz need to be on that rookie 1st team
