If Embiid averages 10 assists per game, he would be the MVP for sure. Jokic is the best because the other MVP candidates can't touch the assists number. Jokic is putting up Magic Johnson numbers and that's impressive.

Love denver and joker, but ant got at least 10 points driving to the basket because joker is not athletic enough to move with him in pick and roll. Don’t act like joker is some defensive guru, his basketball iq let’s him get in the right spots sometimes but he can be a liability on that end also.

I would say that since the T-Wolves made the playoffs 1 time in a 16 (?) year span, making back to back playoffs and having a young superstar on the roster is pretty good for the T-Wolves. And i'm not worried about the KAT/Gobert salaries. They aren't getting any free agents regardless, so they need to take what they can get. (Small market/Cold climate = LOW expectations).

[@nydibs]

The only issue with the Gobert and KAT contracts is that they need to pay Ant and Jaden next season, and Naz now

Man edwards for real will be problem for years to come, hopefully his career doesn’t go to waste with this T wolves team.

Minnesota shot 50% and Denver still won, so that’s encouraging. The Suns shot 54%, 50% from three, and LA was at 45% and 36%, and still only won by 6. KD and Booker shot a combined 63%. They should have blown out LA.

Ayton can't guard jokic for crap and will need durants help but it'll be to their own demise leaving an Open MPJ, KCP or AG as slashers or 3 pt threats. I don't see the suns beating the nuggets.
