LA probably won't get to the top 3, but it would be nice to see him pass Love.

It would also be nice to see Lillard move up.

 

I'm still blow away that Matthews isn't even on the Ballot. smh

 

From what I've heard, they are made before the season. So, it's not that shocking.

 

They are, which is why rookies aren't on it, save the presumed #1 pick (Victor Oladipo). It's still silly imo. With everything practically digital, I don't understand why they bother printing ballots anymore, and just allow the ballot to make a final adjustment in Nov.

 

Oladipo was the #2 pick. Bennett was the #1 pick.

It's silly, but Matthews didn't play good enough to get the presumptuous nod before this season. If he keeps this up, he could be on it next year.

 

Damnit, I re-read that. Presumed. Got it. Though, that would be silly enough in itself to put the presumed #1 pick, unless it was LeBron, really.

 

Can't we just get together and hire some off-shore shills to vote for us? I hear everyone is doing it.

 

China.

 

Davis was the only rook on the ballot last season. Bennett's draft spot was a shock to everyone, but the Cavs FO, and for good reason.

 

And nice going Sac for cornering the Indian vote. /sigh

 

I'm still trying to figure it out. Oladipo would have been money on Cleveland's team.

 

They are struggling to make Waiters/Kyrie work, and decided they can't play them together. I don't know.

 

Oladipo isn't a guy that needs the ball in his hands all the time though. He seems pretty short for a two guard. He isn't bigger than CJ from what I can tell. I love his defense though.

 

He's not a star player.

 

Faulty logic because there are plenty of non-star players who are on the ballot.

 

The Blazers have a third player in the fan voting, right behind Aldridge.

Apparently according to the NBA Tim Duncan has been officially traded to the Portland team but none of the media are reporting it yet.

Thats actually pretty surprising LaMarcus is at 404k and Griffin is at 500k. He has over 80% of the vote of being a starter. If we have a decent run in the playoffs he could easily get there next season.

 

That would be great. Or little whiny Griffin could go to the East coast (like the proposed Griffin for Melo deal).

 

Curry passing Paul for top 2 increases Lillard's chances, since at least some coaches won't vote for injured players they know can't play. It puts Lillards fate more in the hands of the coaches without having to rely on an erratic injury replacement choice by Stern.

 

Yeah, that's huge because Stern isn't bound to pick a guard to replace a guard.
