DO’T CHANGE ANYTHING.

See how this squad does in the playoffs. Then make adjustments next year. If anything, use this year to continue acquiring assets and then snag the next best disgruntled all-star if they become available after this season.

Realistically, there aren’t any moves that will make this team a true championship contender this year…I say roll with the success we have, keep the team together for continuity and chemistry. Reevaluate in the off-season.

No this is the coach who deserves to be fired according to u/yoeyz

You mean we’re gonna have to do this on r/nba today?

Never go full Toronto

The list is long, but my guesses so far would be Maxey, Paolo, Chet

Maxey seems like a lock with great production on a great team.

Paolo and/or Franz could do it if Orlando keeps up their winning ways.

Scottie has been looking real good but he might need a bit more success from his team overall to get the nod

Chet is looking great and his team is winning so I think it is likely

Brunson is undoubtedly one of the best guards but NYK is suspect in my book this season. They’re winning right now though.

Mikal is great as well, but Brooklyn ain’t looking too good right now

Sengun has been really impressive and I think he could get the nod if his team stays competitive.

Paolo is the most valuable player on one of the most successful teams. He is in the conversation, as evidenced by us having a conversation about it.

An arbitrary “top ten” might matter to you, but it isn’t stopping the conversation from happening.

=)

You ain’t wrong about that. Team just has to keep stacking dubs.

Paolo for MVP

Numbers will never be looking like Durant’s so long as this is a defensive-minded team. The numbers are irrelevant when evaluating *value* on an elite-defensive team. Box scores ain’t gonna tell the story. =)

Without Paolo, this team is lottery-bound. The value he brings to this squad and the impact he has on winning is why he deserves to be in the conversation.

It is “most valuable player”…not “best player” like you implied… The guys who have the most *value* are the ones who *impact winning* the most. That’s definitely been Paolo this season, considering he’s been clutch down the stretch and won a couple games on last minute shots as well.

And particularly for a guy who leads the best *defensive* team in basketball, you aren’t going to see huge numbers pop out on the box score night after night. Regardless of Paolo’s averages, he is the best player on the best team as it currently stands (There are only two teams in the league with a better record right now, and the Magic are on the longest win streak among the top teams).

Yes I’m hyped, and no I don’t think the basketball world will give him the props he deserves, but I’ve been watching this league long enough to recognize when credit is due. =)

lmfao I love the salt. Mow Wagner is a beast. We’re so lucky to have this dude on our team. High IQ, high energy, skilled offensive player…he has some flaws but hes a winner and we got lucky picking him up for $free.99

WERE GOING TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP THIS TEAM IS IT. NEVER LOSING ANOTHER GAME AGAIN

I’m arriving in my pants thinking about them beating Denver, that’s for sure.

gonna be interesting to see if Jokic can keep up with Goga tonight. Jokic has been looking good the past few years so we shouldn’t underestimate him. Goga might have his hands full, but Goga is the best center in league history so I’m not too concerned.

I been sayin it all along. Dude is a winner and he will be great in this league.

Goga is absolutely crushing it right now.

u/yoeyz get your silly butt in this thread.

Calling Franz Wagner a fake pick and constantly calling for Coach Mose to be fired. These takes don’t age well, my dude.

bro hate on him all you want, any team in the league would be lucky to have a guy like suggs on their squad. dude doesn’t take plays off. he gives a shit. its great to see.
