Embiid and Joker are the easiest 2 to move out of the top 5 IMO. Giannis, Steph and Luka all make sense to me but I'd still take LeBron or KD over either big men.

I'm sure voters were using different criteria, like how good the teams will be, age, etc. KD being the 8th best player in the league is silly.

Fair enough.

I don’t hate it. I think it’ll expose the players who lack any kind of defensive effort and particularly players who complain to refs after a made basket, which is something I’m really happy to see go

It’s probably been done in Europe to inflate scoring numbers as we’ll see more transition baskets and won’t make it to the NBA but maybe FIBA, which could put the US at a disadvantage. Who knows

I guess Ben Simmons didn't get the mental health help he needed from Philly. I'm not entertaining any of it. Dude melted down in the playoffs and then got exposed on the biggest stage. Then started conveniently having these issues.

He'd have gotten more respect if he said I'm supposed to be the star player and I didn't perform. So I'm going to work. I don't know we'll see how it works out in Brooklyn. I'm not a big believer though.

How the **** are two of the best offensive big men in NBA history - plus #1 & #2 in MVP voting (I believe the last two seasons) - an "easy move out?"

Sometimes I wonder what and who you watch when it comes to these points you make.

It's for LeBron and KD, that's why it's easy. Not to mention neither Joker nor Embiid have a strong postseason resume

Their "postseason" resume has little to do with ranking them going into this year. I love both LBJ & KD, but it is more than understandable to say that the two best centers are both better than them as they enter the 39 year old & 34 year old seasons, respectively.

Especially with the seasons Emiid & Jokic just had while they are both in their physical prime (unlike LBJ & KD).
