Start Jimmy
Bench Haliburton
Cut Luka

I might flip on who starts but Luka is getting cut for sure.

Also interesting that the last three runner ups are teams nobody expected to get there.
 

“You got moved by this piece, but to me, this is absolutely a PR piece. This was absolutely a piece orchestrated by his camp. As I put it down, and I wrote down all my notes and everything, I’m going, why? This was written with agenda. Why?If this was written by an NBA reporter, this would not be as – it’s one sided. This is a very positive – I don’t want to use the word cuddly – but a fluffy piece for Joel Embiid because this writer was given access. He was granted the access, and this is, ‘’ – – .’”
 
This is a TERRIBLE take. Kenyon Martin had way more physical talent than Draymond, but the 2nd rounder is going to the HOF and other one isn't. This is why NBA players should NEVER vote for awards :smh:. Basketball is one part offense, one part defense.

100%. Anybody who would take Kenyon Martin over Draymond is a fool. Draymond is top 75 easily if you're not just focused on scoring. Leads the Warriors all-time in the playoffs in rebounds, assists, steals and I think blocks. The fact that he was the co-point guard for the Warriors dynasty is extremely overlooked and he's obviously a generational defender.
 

I'm gonna say no for the Lakers, on behalf of Lakers fans.

Interesting. I think the Heat should be the team that says no. LeBron is not going to make them a championship contender so two first round picks is too much, especially when Wiggins has more in the tank for the rest of his career than LeBron, who will almost certainly be done playing three years from now.

LBJ says no! He’s never going back to Miami…

Good point-- with the no-trade clause, you have to include LeBron in these hypotheticals. And from his perspective, I don't think this trade puts him in a better situation.
