Really hard to say man. It’s a career altering injury in his 30s.
As for the nets...a step down KD plus Kyrie’s durability...I don’t have high expectations from them as currently constructed.

KD is still 7 feet and can still shoot, but at 32 coming off a torn Achilles that athleticism is taking a hit for sure. Not to mention rust from not hooping competitively for over a year. Different injury but look at how long it took Hayward to get his game back. I can't put him on any top X players list for now.

I'm genuinely interested to see how Kyrie responds to more adversity. He's coming off surgery himself.

Rewatched the Denver game from last night and nah @P C Hill steelo Craig has to beat me. I know it’s hard to double with Jokic out there but you gotta try something to get the ball out of Murray’s hands.
you right,Malone giving him most of Millsap’s mins. Not like he’s actually d’ing up anything but you gotta Tony Allen him at this point

Top 5, no debates (in no particular order):
Lebron
Kawhi
Giannis
Harden
Curry (barely gets in)
Looking in:
Luka
AD
KD (achilles injury man, we will never see the same KD. He'll be good but with that type of injury, can't put him in the top 5)
Dame
Booker
Mitchell
Russ
You died today if you dont have Giannis in your top 5. Ignant AF.

How the Mavericks Built the Best Offensive Lineup in NBA History
With Luka Doncic running the point, Kristaps Porzingis manning the middle, and the right mix of role players in between, Dallas uncovered a lineup before the shutdown that put up historic numbers

Not saying Luka has passed Harden yet but
#sametier
They’re both top 10
From observation Harden is the more offensively talented played, but Luka has an overall greater impact on the game because he passes and rebounds better.

Would you have had him in this list 2 weeks ago?

Legit question: What would your opinion be? Offseason thread, to keep the discussion in here on the playoffs? Keep it in here, since a top _ _ discussion is obviously involving playoff NBAers?
Just, what's your opinion? Because I promise you this: someone disagrees with you. And some of those who disagree will just be because they don't like you.
So what do you think? Where do you personally think they'd be most fitting?

No Tatum, Embiid, Simmons, Jokic?

That says to me that the Mavs built a historic offense, not definitively that Luka is top 5.How the Mavericks Built the Best Offensive Lineup in NBA History

That suggests to me that Luka might be a system player.

So we are looking at a particular lineup as proof as to why Luka is a Top 5 offensive talent?How the Mavericks Built the Best Offensive Lineup in NBA History

Which data points did you cross reference from other players?
