gently caress that, I wanna see every contender debate blowing a late 1st round pick on Bronny just so they can rent LeBron at veterans minimum for a year. Gonna be hilarious how far up he goes.

Garland is very good but he isn't even the best guard on his team

you said young guard. why are you moving the goal posts. I see what euph means now

e: I reread your post, you said “best young pg in the league”! why would dg getting to play against an mvp candidate count against him here??? Halliburton and garland are the same age!

I'm not saying Mitchell is young I'm saying that it's hard for me to think of Garland as the best young PG when he's clearly the second best guard on his team

If we're not counting Doncic, right now I would rank Morant, Gilgeous-Alexander, Bane, and Halliburton ahead of him. I think he's more on par with LaMelo, Trae, and Fox

Nothing against Garland as he's great. The league is just stacked. I kind of misspoke when I said Halliburton was the "best young guard" as I more think he just has the best traditional guard skills

he’s so good. glad to have my city represented by the reigning two-time MVP on the verge of a three-peat.

very hilarious that so few people in denver give a poo poo about the nugs tho. the broncos loving SUCK and still have ten times the visible fan support than the first-place nuggets. nobody would even recognize Jokic on the street if he wasn’t hugely tall

everyone i know who has been to a game always wonders “who is this loving goofy white guy?” during warm-ups and then have to be told he’s not only *denver’s* best player, but the best player in the entire NBA, two years in a row. most of them think i’m joking (jokicing)

completely incomprehensible.

the main reason Jokic isn't valuable is that he doesn't draw ratings since he's boring to watch except for two insane passes per game

my favorite moment of the all star game was when jokic set a screen for curry. nobody was playing defense but he still did it, he walked up and put up a high pick.

Ayton was pissing me off today in the first quarter with his screening actions. he's "Halfway To MVP" :dogwhistle: as well, but he couldn't peel a defender from his dribblers at all man. one of many things that had PHX down twenty in five minutes flat.

all the other players on the nuggets are more fun to watch than jokic. they got this kid named Bones that is always shooting goofy rear end 3s on terrible looks and sometimes he misses them and goes 1/12 in a game and sometimes he hits six in a row

jamal murray was playing out of his mind yesterday too

he's a pure streetball player, could probably be called for a carry every dribble, and by some metrics he's the worst defender in the entire NBA. he owns completely and he's my favorite player after jokic.
