By 2028, what players do you think will be MVP? I see Luka winning one or 2, he’ll win one pretty easily but the 2nd one depends on the team record and if he has the #1 record and great stats he’ll win a couple. I think SGA or Trae might win one depending on their record and tbh I think Trae has what it takes to lead the league in points and assists the same year and if he does he deserves an mvp. SGA or Tatum could get one simply because of their team record. A super dark house player I see winning an mvp is Zion but that solely depends on his health but if he can stay healthy for 65 games and he a point forward he can win one. What do you guys think?
Bro I’m the biggest Trae fan there is and even I put the odds extremely low. There is potential, but even if he gets 55+ wins, improves dramatically on defence(which he is starting to do and I think he will continue to improve), has a 50/40/90 season which would be by far his highest efficiency, and going 30/10/2steals, he still has such a narrative against him that he likely wouldn’t win.
I do believe all of this is a possibility(though unlikely), but even then I think the narrative prevails.
If Trae got 55+ wins while putting up 30 and 10 on 50/40/90 he would win MVP lol. Nobody is gonna go that hard with the narratives if the results so clearly say otherwise. Everybody who has won MVPs has against them. The problem with Trae is the hawks stay at .500 and that’s not enough to get peoples attention.
Also since 21-22 he hasn’t been anywhere close to 50/40/90 so him doing that would be huge considering the narrative that he’s Westbrook 2.0 with efficiency.
If Trae is that guy from the 21-22 season he has as good of a shot as anybody. Hawks just gotta win
