[UnFadeable21]

So we got two wolves on my rankings with Dlo at 25 and Kat at 16. I believe the Timberwolves will make the playoffs next year

What’s your rankings in order?

[somuchyummy]

i think you can't put 27 players on your list of top 25.

[bubu dubu.]

It looks like you actually have DLo tied for 26, not 25th

24 is a tie for Celtics fans who either think Tatum is the best on their team or Kemba, their max contact guy

I have Mitchell and Dlo tied for 25th

Personal preference for Boston fans to choose one

[zeitgeist]

Klay Thompson is about 20 spots too high.

[RubeTube]

Donny Mitch takes a poo on Dlo.

[j2j]

I wouldn't put Embiid above Luka or Dame.

[somuchyummy]

I wouldn't put Embiid above Luka or Dame.

with you on that. embiid can be dominant - and then.... pooff, not so dominant. IMO there's too much non-bb related crap going on between his ears. dame's had a much stronger career - and doncic is just such a refreshing real deal. i did a double take when i just looked up his 2nd year stats in this abbreviated season - 29/9/9 - (but also the rare gem who makes his teammates better). are you kidding me?

Exactly, especially considering how many games Embiid misses.

[RubeTube]

Embiid is straight garbage. Not winning anything with him as your top player.

Maybe as a #2 or #3. Buckets was the best player they had.

Embiid dominates at a position where nobody dominates at anymore.

This mental Little Person would have got his shit pushed in by the top bigs of the past.

I agree that you can't really carry a team throughout the season as a traditional 5, but I disagree that he would get his shit pushed in in the past. His style of play would fit very well into old eras.

[shoteh]

Luka top 10

Dlo, Beal, and Porzingis not top 25

Klay, Gobert, Embiid lower

Missing Young

He can't stay healthy in a era where no one bangs.

Imagine this brother having to bang with the likes of Shaq, Robinson etc.. The list goes on and on. One game against Shaq and Joyce would be done for the season.

Embiid ain't shit. He's a last gen Brad Daugherty

yeah, the injury thing is definitely a thing with him that I wasn't thinking much about when I posted that.

I do think players played through injuries more in early eras though. I think front offices drive the bug of "injuries" in the new era now. Teams are so cautious with injuries that a player could likely play through...Instead of being as competitive as they can be now, teams are focusing on health for the post-season, or keeping a player sidelined to tank. I feel Embiid would play through some of his injuries in earlier eras...

like, looking at this recent MJ documentary, the dude was told his career could end, and the FO still gave him the green light to play (albeit with limited minutes) when a higher draft pick was on the line. That kind of shit wouldn't fly in today's game, even if the player demanded it, like MJ supposedly did.

The expectation in older eras was to play through injuries, and I expect it would have been the same for Embiid. The toughness from older eras didn't come solely from the players, it also came from the front offices wanting to have their best team on the floor.

The front offices haven't changed baby boy.

I didn't watch that documentary but my guess is Jordan was at theater stages of his career when they let that happen. Could be wrong as i didn't watch the documentary.

I know that was supposed to say the later stages but you hit the nail. Stories like that are the theater stages of the post career. Old men telling whoppers. There is not a good sports story that exaggerating won't make better.

What I always found interesting was how it really was the money that broke that team up. Jordan had already quit on a whim once. No max salaries. He could have asked for anything. Pippin pissed about his low market deal. Much less TV money. A coach who if still there, would not let the team be broke up without a huge stink. Role players with championships unlikely to take a lot more discounts. The best team in the league still by a lot broke it up on purpose with more championships likely. Different times. GS paid 200mil in Lux for 1 more run at it. Probably 350 mil those last 2 years. Word I remember was that the Bulls really jacked their season ticket prices and demanded you buy them for 5 years in advance.

Zion is pretty high

[somuchyummy]

put him there on massive talent and impact. he's pretty unstoppable right now - even if it's early. i'm one of those in the camp though who think he won't have a long career unless he loses a bunch of pounds.

the surprise for me was middleton. i just forget about him - like nearly everyone else does. but why? 2nd best player on the winningest team in the league - 21 ppg, 6 rpg, 4 apg and a spg. great defender and good teammate. knows his place in the pecking order. 91% from the line and 42% from three. so i chucked him in there at the end - 25th - until i looked up the list and just thought about who i think brings the most value. and for me, then he went all the way up to 15th - just ahead of butler. because honestly IMO he's everything you get with jimmy butler - but with better shooting and none of the bullshit. seriously, think about what our team might be if the trade for butler had been for middleton instead.

No Booker?
