The 2019-2020 Around the NBA thread

It’s going to be a fun offseason

The Bucks, Houston and the Clippers all have big stars but clearly can’t bring back the same teams.

Clips could get rid of Doc.

Jokic may have something to say about that. We'll see.

 

[Ronin]

Nice to see Playoff P do his thing last night.

 

[95pro]

Does LA lose the first game? If the Denver wins the first, i highly doubt they'll lose the next four unlike Portland and Houston. Lakers got the easiest first and second rounds it seams. Denver isn't close to what Portland and Houston are.

 

[Chaplin]

Ben Simmons = 3rd team, but Booker does not? What a travesty. Especially on an underachieving team like the Sixers.

 

[Mainstreet]

The same with Jamal Murray.

Wow. That list is just wow!

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. That list is just wow!

Some good players that didn't make it and we have seen how good Jamal Murray can play as well.

Some good players on that list that didn't make it and we have seen how good Jamal Murray can play as well.

I get that, but others on the list, whoa...

Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook don't do a lot for me.

Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook don't do a lot for me.

As much as i dislike cp3, he would actually have been a good fit for us now that we saw how the regular season went with okc.

 

[JerkFace]

Similarly to Cam and the Rookie team, I am assuming Booker would of gotten a bit of a bump if the voting was post Bubble. Probably not enough to make 3rd team, but enough to put him in the Beal area.

 

[GatorAZ]

Ben Simmons = 3rd team, but Booker does not? What a travesty. Especially on an underachieving team like the Sixers.

Simmons 100% deserves it over Booker if we’re only going off the pre-bubble season (which they were).

Booker deserves it over Westbrook.

 

[Mainstreet]

As much as i dislike cp3, he would actually have been a good fit for us now that we saw how the regular season went with okc.

Maybe if salary was not a part of the equation. Paul is owed over $85 million the next two seasons.

 

[Yuma]

Trae Young? Really?

 

[Hoop Head]

If someone said Murray and Jokic were 2 of the 10 best players in the NBA would they be wrong?

I wouldn’t argue.

I wouldn't argue with Jokic, I think I need to see more from Murray to call him top 10. If you said top 20, no doubt they'd be included and I'd probably agree with top 15 as well but guard play in the NBA is incredible right now.

I do believe Jokic is the best Center in the league right now though.

That's messed up if he's behind all those guys

Who’s ahead of him at PG. I think Lillard is the only guy is argue.

Could the perception be that Devin was not being used properly?

Not a pure Shooting Guard. Not a pure Point Guard. If the Suns
can't solidify his ID, why would the voters in a competition?

And how much was Devin hurt by constantly being double-
teamed? And his reputation of being mediocre on defense.

He stepped up during the final competition, but it was too late.

As disappointed as we are for our star, Sarver waited too long
to step back and let everyone do their jobs.

'Can't help but feel that this is just another episode now in
Devin's memory bank that will come back to haunt the Suns.

Deservedly so!

he’s definitely a pure shooting guard and he was an all star this year. He gets plenty of props around the league

What position is James Harden or Luka Doncic or Jamal Murray for that matter?

Playing on a winning team is what will get people's attention.
