    He'd be 9 or 10. I'd put him above sabonis easily and put shai at 10. But above that there's serious discussion about why dame won't go above that.

    He's better than Ja and Julius. Julius for sure.

    Ah shit dunno how I forgot Julius. Ja and dame are comparable (even if dame is world's better. Just talking about now and the current context)

    Ja is a good argument to have. I think Dame is better though.

    But yeah, Dame is better than Randle.

    I'm curious about Durant on the MVP ladder. Now that he's been traded mid-season, how realistic are his MVP chances?

    Crazy that Jokic could win MVP three years in a row.

    his last game was January 8th. He would need to play first. He might not even play 20 games for the Suns (regular season)

    That's how the NBA is, or should be. Sometimes they give it to someone who isn't the MVP for whatever reason (several I suppose).

    I would. I honestly don't care if he cheated on his wife.

    I do, however, care of he abused a position of power to exert influence over someone in a sexual capacity.
