    Trey will get MVP consideration next season if his team has a top 5 record in the NBA definitely.

    MVP votes always take some time, you have to prove it. People said the same about Jokic last year, I know, because I was arguing those people.

    Trey is proving it and next year he's going to get that MVP consideration if his team is winning.

    but Atlanta don’t use motion offense like the warriors. Trae get to the line sometimes 19 times a game and ref baits. Steph curry doesn’t pass as well as trae eithet

    Yet Trae is the one leading his team to the conference finals. What's wrong with that picture?

    Trae is doing great things and at this point everyone should stop bringing up luka when talking about him. He's good. I would still take Luka tho.

    We should all **** on the kings for passing on both

    Do you think Trae would've beaten the Clippers and Jazz this year? Come on. The West is another level of competition. East is legit with Milwaukee and BKN if healthy but outside of that??? 1 to 8 West is loaded its a whole different ball game to fight 70+ games and then go to war again in the playoffs in the West

    They laughed at me when I said Trae is the real deal.

    The guy's name is Trae in the era of trey ball.

    That was not enough of a clue for them lol

    Doc Rivers will always find a way to blow it too. He is the Elimination James of NBA Coaches.

    I can't lie, I haven't been giving Trae the props he deserves. All of that has changed. He is definitely the real deal.

    Agreed; Brooklyn's only chance is next season. If they don't, they will break up.

    Philly, no shot whatsoever. Especially with that albatross contract of Simmons.

    All that said, what Shaq said is a legit feeling for some of the players in the locker room. Some basketball players will feel this way and it's honest. So you do have to deal with it.
