    Ya i don't believe for one second the gms are sitting down and spending more than 3 seconds to answer these questions. I will say that everyone who i actually listen to thought the daniels dpoy stuff was asinine, but i probably listen to the more “nerdy” types than most.

    The DPOY is a media vote dude. It's not asinine, it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do: awarding the defensive player that excited the media. That's irrelevant to whether he's a good defender.

    I think this is where we part. No I don't think it's reasonable to think on/off is perfect, nor do I think it's reasonable to look at the GM's voting record and say they're just guessing. You're just ignoring that you agree with every other defender they've ever nominated.

    I never like the buying super team thing to try to "buy" a championship from the days when Miami did it. I still don't like it. No to Giannis unless it is a steal and we don't have to give up Amen or Sengun.

    I will still follow the Rockets but.......

    Sengun and Amen are untouchable. They aren’t going anywhere. We don’t have the salary to match without including Sengun and multiple other players and then you have to fill out your roster. I think the Knicks are most likely. Giannis is a tough fit for most of the best teams in the league, either from a salary matching perspective or from a team dynamic. He is really a pg that needs the ball in his hands. SA has the draft picks and Fox’s contract that might make it work. It would delay some of their development of young guys, but could work from a fit perspective. It wouldn’t be the worst gamble ever, since they may need to go for it with Wemby sooner rather than later. The only other possibilities I see, are Atlanta and Toronto, but would Giannis agree to it?

    Rockets will trade with the Kings. That entire team is available.

    If Giannis’s agent calls, Stone should listen.
