I would rather see the Nuggets get a shot at taking a game off the 1 seed than the Blazers this year. Blazers have been a totally uninspiring dumpster fire, and the Nuggets at least have Jokic.

They've won 7 of 8, 11 of 14, and one of those losses was on a shot that shouldn't have counted because the guy stepped out of bounds. Basically the Nurkic trade turned them into "pretty good" territory.

But I wouldn't mind seeing Denver in the playoffs just to get Jokic some national attention.

the last 2 years of those runs, the narrative was that Lebron carried the weight on those teams, as Bosh didn't put up numbers, missed playoff games, and Wade was in decline, constantly hurt. Their last championship was due to a hail mary 3.

I am not saying this is the reason to rig, but the heat window was closed because of wade. He makes Max money, without adding max value, and the team could not improve. I think NBA people saw this, Lebron certainly did, he hinted at leaving a year in advance or something?
I think it's pretty obvious that LeBron was talking with the commissioner's office making sure they loaded the Cavs up with top picks so he could go home after he finished up in Miami. They probably planned it the very first year after he got all the backlash for leaving.

Solid fundamentals, cornerstone of any team he was on, willing to get low in the post and do what needs to be done:
Tim Duncan, Protection Warrior

Versatile, willing to fill up the stats in a number of ways, always shifting around to do whatever the team needs:
Andrei Kirilenko, Feral Druid

Ton of potential on paper, but ideally wants to just sit in the corner all day lobbing up shots from downtown:

Pat Beverely probably shouldn't talk about resting players when he's yet to play more than 65 games in a season

Of course you don't mind playing all the games, you get more rest than Lebron actively ducking games

You don't have to guess for AK47, remember he got his character tattooed on his back then had the tattoo slowly removed because it was one of the worst pieces of poo poo anyone had ever seen?
