You probably saw that my original rankings have Kawhi third. But LeBron is definitely an MVP contender. Looking back, he's had a better season so far than Giannis.

I did a keyword search for "Rubio" on each of the thread pages so far and didn't see anything about him, but I think Ricky Rubio might be done as a starting level point guard.
At only 30, Rubio is...

I said I'd be willing to move LeBron up to third-most-valuable, after Embiid and Jokic. He's been outplaying Davis to start the season and putting up big stats on the best team in the league. Of...

I guess I could see rejiggering my rankings to move LeBron into third ahead of Giannis and Leonard. But Embiid and Jokic are still my standouts.



I dropped KD just out of my top five after he...

1. Embiid
2. Jokic
3. Kawhi
4. Giannis
5. LeBron

1. James Wiseman: Minnesota already had an explosive backcourt, so I think they should have provided a more defensive counterpart to Towns in the front Court.
2. Tyrese Haliburton: He already seems...

How would you draft in hindsight, looking at the first quarter of the season and where teams and their rookies are? Is Edwards still first, or does a Wiseman-Towns front court look better now? How...

The coronavirus layoff worked out well for Damian Lillard, whose fiancee Kay'la Hanson gave birth to twin girl and boy, Kali Emma Lee Lillard and Kalii Laheem Lillard, a day before Portland's game...

What if they expanded the deal to C.J., Covington and Nassir for Middleton, Connaughton and Portis? It would have to wait until after February because of recent signings. C.J. would have spent some...

He's made mostly good moves, undoubtedly. But I think Houston will regret trading LeVert and Allen for Oladipo, Exum, Kurucs and a late first-rounder.
I don't see Oladipo sticking around, which is...

I still wonder whether the Blazers could parlay McCollum's hot play into a bigger, do-it-all wing like Hayward or Middleton. Hayward is my preference, but the Hornets already have an undersized back...

It's the perfect Knicks trade.

I love how you never break character — never stop trolling. Obviously, I'm not talking about them getting vaccinated before healthcare workers. But if they can help fund exponentially more vaccine...

I almost thought of including Simmons, Harris, Thybulle, Milton, a first-rounder and either Maxey, Korkmaz, or another first-rounder.



I don't think so either, but this entire thread is people...

• 76ers out: Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle, Shake Milton and a 2027 first-rounder
• 76ers in: Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum and Robert Covington

Philadelphia gets a perfectly tuned...

Wealthy people can be selfish. What a surprise. If Hill wants to flout the basic precautions, then he should sacrifice his salary and not play. The NBA Players Association agreed to this season and...

His tax argument is ignorant, but there is a logic to vaccinating professional athletes earlier. They have more social contacts than the average person, making them more dangerous as vectors of...

Let's see. Which guy has played with two former MVPs and joined a team with the most wins in a season ever?

I agree with the LeVert over Oladipo sentiment. He could leave Houston after this year, while LeVert was locked up, and Allen was a RFA.

I wouldn't include Thybulle. Harris has been pretty good this year, and he's only 28. He and a first-rounder should be enough. It's not like Toronto's a hot spot for landing big free agents. I feel...

The Ringer has always covered basketball more in-depth than any other sport, although ESPN's Lowe Post with Zach Lowe is the best basketball podcast I've heard. As far as getting a recap of games,...

As long as money's coming in, it's working.

OK; are we just looking at general redrafts for our team and all the guys who got drafted late and ended up stars? I'll limit this to the past couple of drafts, so we don't have to point out the...

I would have loved to see some police brutality against white nationalists for a change, but I think police wanted to avoid inflaming the mobs of heavily armed lunatics around the U.S. ready for...
