    My interpretation was that he’s saying he knows harden belongs somewhere in this list but he’s leaving him off as a sign of disrespect because he’s annoyed with his antics.

    Scottie Barnes and Cade Cunningham are true franchise guys? That’s a big reach.

    Anthony Edward’s and Evan Mobley as untouchable? Another reach.

    I like all 4 of them but the tiers their in is a little strange.

    hell I’m not even sure Paul George is a true franchisee guy.

    If you took away voting privileges from everyone who had biases you'd be left with 0 voters

    it was a mistake to reliquish their voting rights to the media. I like draymonds idea of new media, they are coming for those voting privledges in the next cba. cant wait

    I think people are missing that the Simmons list was a trade value list, not a best player list.

    Lol didn't he like herb Jones more than green but then only has him in the has upside column?
    Also what did cade do that was that much better than green that he is 2 categories above green
    Lastly how do you differentiate between the top 3 picks without them even playing in preseason

    That's not ridiculous when you consider how Harden looked last year and how much money he is going to want and what it would take salary and player-wise to get him.

    Smart is set to make less than 20 million a year while Harden will be pushing 40, I love Harden but at this point he is not a 20 million more a year player than Smart.

    The fairest voting system would be totally giving it to Clutchfans. We are the most objective, fair-minded, level-headed, knowledgeable, and neutral people with no biases whatsoever. Every voting result would be the most accurate and worthy.

    Do it, Silver!

    Jalen Green must have the “chucker who does nothing but score and plays no D” label

    Leaving Green off is one thing, but how is it possible to claim to be a basketball website and STILL rank Westbrook in the top 125 after what everyone has seen the last few years?

    He is not and has not been someone who should be considered for these “top whoever” lists for years now.

    It doesn`t matter. The young Rockets will eventually make the list. Here`s hoping that the coaching position be upgraded.

    Even if you think that JG didn't make it because he's just a 2nd year player (there's other 2nd year players in there but w/e)

    How does Gordon not make the list?

    If we're basing it off last year alone, then I understand not having JG in the top 125. I personally had him top like 160 in my rankings.

    But some of those guys ahead of him that Clutch pointed out are just comical. Most were objectively way below him last year.
