    And you actually think any GM would pick Paul over Booker.

    Why the **** would any GM do that?

    If you're building a team from scratch right now, you go with Booker due to his youth. But if you're asking who was the better player in the 2021 season, then the answer is clearly CP3.

    I agree with Barkley and believe booker is probably the "best" player on the team. But CP3 is their MVP.

    Cp3 impacts winning more due not only to his basketball skills but also his leadership, experience and personality.

    This is why Paul was awarded an all-NBA selection over Booker.

    Giannis is getting a lot of blame here, some deserved, but for all his flaws he isn't the reason the bucks are losing.

    He's having the best series of his career 30 and 13 on 57%TS. Not great... But good volume on average efficiency.

    Middleton and jrue on the other hand have been terrible! I'm talking Trevor ariza, Westbrook, pg, rafer Alston bad series terrible.

    Middleton: 21.8ppg/8.2rpg/3.8apg on 38/32/81 shooting (47.7% TS)

    Holiday: 14.4ppg/4.6rpg/6.2apg on 40/33/60 shooting (46.6% TS)

    WTF does that have to do with anything?

    Do you even know what you are reading?

    This survey was about offseason acquisitions, do you think Ibaka is the 3rd most impactful player?

    I have no idea why you think this supports your argument.

    You notice how Pauls name never comes up on these lists

    https://hoopshype.com/2020/05/30/nb...antasy-draft-giannis-luka-lebron-durant-zion/

    And then I noticed you left out something in your previous post and link.

    https://www.nba.com/news/2020-21-gmsurvey.

    Who is the best shooting guard in the NBA?
    1. James Harden, Houston – 68%
    2. Bradley Beal, Washington – 11%
    Luka Doncic, Dallas – 11%
    4. Jimmy Butler, Miami – 7%
    5. Devin Booker, Phoenix – 4%
    > Last year: James Harden – 86%

    Which player is most likely to have a breakout season in 2020-21?
    1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City – 15%
    Michael Porter Jr., Denver – 15%
    3. De’Aaron Fox, Sacramento – 12%

    what does it have to do with anything? I mean you clearly mentioned GM's first and I posted a survey about GM's lol

    you were the one who tried to speak for them which was a complete joke

    You: Every GM would pick booker because I asked all of them
    Me: Posts a survey about actual GM's with high praise for cp3
    You: What does posting a GM survey have to do with anything

    LMAO

    Given that he's been guarded by Blake Griffin and Jeff Green, I think everyone expected a lot more from him.

    And you left out the part where they mentioned Booker and non of the stuff you posted means they would take him over Booker which is why i asked what does it have to do with anything?

    Do you think that survey proves your point?

    Is he impacting these games like a 2 time MVP?

    Or the reigning DPOY?

    That's why he is getting a lot of the blame.

    you mean the %'s where they're less than cp3's. I mean i was doing you a favor but thanks for posting them anyway

    so lets see would every GM pick someone who 15% think is the best pg in the nba or someone who 4% think is the best sg in the NBA. I mean you claimed every single GM would choose booker. wrong.

    all you do is go in circles with nonsense

    Those are regular season awards and he didn't win them this year and more importantly I don't view the regular season and post season as remotely the same. Achievements in one has little to do with the other. A lot of players put up great NUMBERS in the regular season only to underperform in the post season. Giannis has been an example of this... Julius Randle this year, Harden in previous years... and many other.

    And as I stated in my post, Giannis definitely deserves some of the blame and he's getting it lol. As the saying goes "the best player and leader should get the blame when the team loses and the credit when the team wins."

    Just wanted to point out those terrible numbers by Middleton/Jrue. Eric Gordon and Austin Rivers are shocked.

    That's the point stupido, nobody is trading for Paul over Booker because he is 36 years old.

    If you are gonna be stalking me at least keep up with the conversation.
