That's why MVP based on team record has always been stupid. Not Dame's fault his teammates suck.

But how can you be MVP if you don't turn your teammates into Scottie pippin overnight 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I'm sure they'll be devastated, but neither of those fine young men is my type.
Seriously, Siakam has gotta be on the MVP short-list at this point in the season.
Honestly Luka should be in that conversation, although unless he goes absolutely bonkers they won't give that to him in his second year.
If anything, Dame's been too good of a leader in keeping everyone happy and working hard through infinite years of "playoffs but no title equity" with the same roster holes. If anyone else were in his spot, the team would've been forced to do something drastic, and either they'd be better, or Dame would be somewhere less boring.
I'd agree with that. It's insane that the closest a Raptor has come to winning MVP was Chris Bosh in 06-07 at 7th place. Carter's prime lined up with the primes of Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, etc so he only finished as high as 10th.
I'm telling you right now, the Raptors aren't 7-3 without Siakam, especially once Lowry and Ibaka went out.
Cousins used to have stats too. Ingram and Kyrie MVP canidates this year too.
If voters actually watched basketball they would be able to see the difference between a great team player with bad teammates, and a black hole who gets stats.
I just wanna say, I agree with this 100%. Dame is good, not just a good-stats-bad-team guy, and it's obvious to anyone that watches him play. That team would be reeeeeeeal bad without him. But MVP is about "value," and no one is going to attempt to gauge the value of a player that is on a team that loses 50 games instead of 65. Is "catapulting" your team to 32 wins instead of 17, probably against bad and mediocre competition, really worthy of being recognized by an award? I'm gonna say no.
Doncic is easily MVP then. He doesn't even have a CJ. Zinger is meh as fuck. Basically averaging a 30 point triple double right now.
How many years did Rose play before he won MVP? Y'all think they would give it to Luka now? I mean I'm all for it. Dude has been balling.
That's awesome! Get Mookie Betts there and you got yourself a stew.
I mean, look at CJ's season stats and tell me how much value "having a CJ" has had this year, lol
Damn that gap between CJ and Dame is glaring. Luka's MVP campaign starts now.
Nothing whiny about that, players standing up for themselves is good.
I mean he sort of has a point. He's been as good of not better than the Kyrie/Westbrook types the last few seasons but gets a fraction of the publicity largely because of where he plays and the media ignoring him. No problem with him pumping himself up.
Gaslighting
Rookie class has been poo so far. Where the hell is Zion?
last I saw of him he was in line trying to get a chicken sando from popeye's but he told me he'd be good to go
He's on an agreeable contract but is not a gamechanger for most teams. I think they could get someone at a level between Kuzma and Hayward.
6 weeks means a repair. Good for him. Good chance he'll be completely fine. It'll just take some time to get that leg back into shape.
The best player in the game is taking games off because he doesn't feel 100%.
I am going to be a jackass and blame this on Kawhi who is causing players to be too cautious.
Something pretty good. Celtics would be a perfect fit in theory and I think he would be worth that Memphis pick that they're still hoarding but the matching salary is a problem since I don't think they would want to move Marcus Smart. Nola is also a great fit and they obviously have the combination of assets for him.
I am on the left.

Players are soft. Wilt fucked 1000 hoes and played over 48 minutes a game for an entire season.
You can't (reasonably) offer enough to get him at this point. lol
He's the best player on the team.
I mean, if the fit between Zion and Ingram is as clunky as some of us expect that might be on the table eventually
What is ultimately more impressive? Wilt having sex with 10,000 women as a professional athlete or AC Green having sex with no women while being a professional athlete and champion.
We'll throw in Lonzo's star UCLA teammate, TJ Leaf. The chemistry will be off the charts.
