I like this signing for the Warriors

If Russ plays ~80ish games, with ~40 or so triple doubles, playin alongside 3 scrubs + Adams, with no bench, in the West vs GS, SA, Hou and the Clipps and comes close to 50 wins, he's the MVP.

And it shouldn't be close.

Bron is on a super team that has added Korver, D-Will, D-Will, and Bogut since the season began. Those 4 better than any Thunder outside Adams.
Curry/KD, nope
Kawhi, nope
Alphabet, top 3-4 in my vote
Harden, amazing year, deep team, top 3-4
I. Thomas, certainly a top 3-4 finish


Russ is gonna average a triple double for the season, carrying riff raff to 45-50 wins, in the West. It should be unanimous. Seriously. IDGAF about 5-6-7 seed, he is the definition of value to a team that would be the Nets without him.

It doesn't matter, they're not winning the chip without KD. 

 

[hoosierdaddy317]

Matt Barnes is a gump

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Just to throw it out there, before Lou Will, was Houston really a "deep team"

I asked before, but I'd like to compare them to what Russ has before the Bulls trade

Gotta agree with this. I'm looking forward to when the regular season is just about over and Oscar Robertson goes on Mike and Mike etc., talking about how Russ is chasing triple doubles etc. About like last year around the same time when he was bashing the Warriors and Curry. When people was saying he was unstoppable and he said if the players of today would D -up and guard him 94 feet, you stop his entire game.

Ryan Anderson, Ariza, EG all better than any Thunder, right?

And yeah, now add Lou.

uhhhh
kanter > all of those
oladipo > all of those
Bron isn't even my mvp but what you said just isn't true
and you said nope to kawhi but you have IT up there?

 

[CP1708]

Kanter, and Oladipo.....

Well, there's my reminder of what this thread is now.

Old timers still in here, *tips cap*

 

[tyevvyotcu]

giannis as mvp when his team isn't even in the playoffs

Come on man this is ridiculous.
What does Derrick Williams do better than Roberson?
Enes Kanter isn't better than Bogut? Bogut MIGHT give you 10 minutes.
How is Vic not better than Deron Williams?
Kyle Korver? C'mon b. Abrines is damn near better.

I know what you're trying to say but you exaggerated this part.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Eh, I think both Houston and OKC were comparable before the trade deadline, and I think both were under manned with OKC being more poorly constructed 

Houston has a solid starting lineup but after EG, idk, Dekker and Nene are cool I guess

I don't know if I would characterize Houston as a deep team prior to getting Lou, kanye shrug

was looking at that like

[tyevvyotcu]

you sleep on harrel but yeah I agree. Russ meatriders trying to downplay how good kanter and vic are is corny.

 

[MVP]

Russ has been without his 2nd and 3rd offensive options for 11 (Kanter) and 12 (Dipo) games respectively at times this season. At the very least, Harden has had EG, Anderson, and Ariza for the majority of this season, they've missed a total of 9 games combined (Ariza has played in every game). 

 

[sohi 23]

I'm a huge Greek Freak fan but I cant put him in my top 5 either
Bron/Harden/Russy/Leonard are the top 4. Kd/Curry would be 5 but they cancel each other out.


Presti is a beast man.
They won the Ibaka for Sabonis & Vic trade.
Then he traded Cameron ******* Payne for Taj & Dougie.

Russ
Adams/Kanter (Adams one of the best bigs in the league & a defensive beast / Kanter can score anywhere in the post)
Vic/Roberson (perimeter defenders)
Taj/Grant (defending forwards)
Dougie/Abrines (shooting)

That's 9 deep (10 with Sabonis, who's gunna be a good player). How y'all gunna say Russ has no help. This roster has DEPTH.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

so russ should win because he's on worse team and has worse teammates?

 

[moe200069]

as a gsw fan, hearing about bogut signing with the cavs reminds me of that feeling i get when i hear my ex is in a new relationship. I say im happy for her, but really I want her new dude to treat her like a sidechick and for their relationship to be a miserable experience for her.


Good luck to my favorite aussie.

He literally just got Taj/McBuckets a few days ago and Kanter been out for a month yet they're still 10 games above .500. Vic is overrated as a defender and Roberson is literally a liability on the offensive end. C'mon man. They have specialists that he literally has to spoon feed almost all the time. 

 

[tyevvyotcu]

houston is full of specialists too outside of lou and eg
terrible argument
