I think the dumbest part is that they waited until after the playoffs to announce it. Not nearly as many are talking about mvp 2 months later.

Harden's exchange with Drake was pretty funny

Bill Russell was great too

I guess Drew Brees should have won NFL MVP huh? He also put up huge meaningless stats for a mediocre team

it's just funny how in 2015, Harden didn't win because Steph had more wins even though Harden had the stats, now 2 years later, Harden didn't win because stats were more important than wins. It's a disgrace

I agree. As long as the media controls 100% of the votership, it will continue to be flawed. The voting should be split up between GM's (50%), Players (30%), and media (20%)

I could see something like that. Anything is better than 100% media. Personally, I give way more value to the opinion of current and former players than anything.

I'm still not really sure what a Harden/Paul backcourt would look like but it makes me more comfortable that James is actively recruiting CP.

Assuming they can dump Bev, Anderson, Lou for nothing in return to make salaries come close:

C Capela
PF Ariza
SF Gordon
SG Harden
PG Paul

Bench:

Dekker
Harrell
Onuaku
Dillon Brooks
Vet Min

Not the deepest team ever.

I think that Anderson contract is going to be impossible to move. Moving Gordon would be a lot more manageable.

I think most teams understand that Anderson is a perfect fit for Dantoni and next to a guy like Capela. There are few teams he would work well on, but I think next to a solid defender like Whiteside, DJ, or KAT would be ideal. But to still owe him $63mm? Don't think a lot of teams want to pay him that, even if he is a good fit on their team.

I am not for dumping Bev, Anderson, and Lou to make space for a 32 year old, ball-dominant point guard. Do not care how good he is.

I can't see how losing Bev and adding CP3 makes us a better team.

I don't care that much about losing Williams or Anderson, but Bev is a really really good player for our team. During the Morey years, there has been a huge emphasis on scoring and major de-emphasis on defense and toughness. Consequently, the are really only 2 guys on the team who can play championship-level defense: Bev and Ariza (maybe Gordon too). When the game is on the line CP3 is also a good defender; however, If we ever hope to make a serious run at a championship we need to collect more guys that can shoot and play defense, not swap them out.

I do not get the hate or lack of caring for Anderson. He has a true shooting % of 58.3% and is such a great fit for Mike's system. And if we do get rid of him, who's playing the lion's share of the minutes at PF?

In Morey we trust.

I think CP3 and the Paul George should go the Warriors in a three team trade that sends that McCraw guy to the Clippers Damian James to the Pacers. Then the basketball media can be SO IMPRESSED by how awesome the Warriors offense looks and the hard work it took to win the title again.

Ryan was an absolute no show in the playoffs. But I agree he is pretty much a perfect fit here and had a really good regular season. If we get rid of him it had better be for a piece that makes us a lot better.

I've heard Morey is ready to bring in Zhou Qi from China, so I'd assume he and Harrell would get those minutes.
