AFLW 2024 - Round 4 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
I think the Raps should consider trading Kawhi. They have a lot of talent if he left, which looks likely. They can still compete for top 4 in the East if they get some value for him. Would either the Lakers/Clips give a player to get him early? I'd look into it if I were Ujiri.
My unpopular opinion:
Celtics should trade Brown+Rozier+1st round pick for Anthony Davis.
Hell I would even drive the bundle down to New Orleans myself if it gets the deal done.
Siakim compares nicely with GiannisPaskal Siakam is better now than Draymond Green.
That's a spicy meat ball.Siakim compares nicely with Giannis
James Harden non-existent in defence.
Chips: Kobe 5, Harden 0.
Not sure about Complete, But i think he's betterGiannis will be a more complete and better player then Durant.

Giannis probs gonna pocket his first of many MVPs this season.
Not at all. Not yet anyways. He's certainly on track to be a great player though.Doesn't make him better than someone who has been doing it for a decade

Durant isn't close to Giannis defensively. He's not the playmaker Giannis is either. Dude peaked 5 years ago he's just getting that winning rep boast.Fair call - Giannis has definitely jumped up and cemented himself in the conversation at the top of the game.
Still though - it's very tough to compare his role with the Bucks to the role that KD plays for the Warriors (admittedly, KD's choice). If you put KD on the Bucks, I reckon he could do just as good a job - if not better from an offensive perspective. Put Giannis in KD's role with the Warriors - I'm not sure you would get the same outcome.
But Giannis has now made it a conversation worth having.

Durant gave up on the challenge of being best player on a championship team and settled on riding Curry's coattails. Giannis is still chasing that goal, we'll see how that pans out soon. But really, Giannis playing 2 man game with Curry lol. >>>>
I'll eat my hat if Giannis doesn't end his career with multiple MVPs.I would agree with First (at least, I think he deserves it over Harden, but it could legitimately go to either guy)
Way too presumptious to suggest he will get "many". Anything can happen, and there are far to many top players in the NBA who could be in the MVP running any given year to predict what will happen from here on out (plus a few guys who could easily join that conversation in the next few years). Also, don't rule out the chances of Lebron bouncing back next year, or KD leaving GSW to become a ball-dominant player elsewhere (I reckon LAC or Brooklyn would be good fits) and just having a monster few years numbers-wise.
Remember, Duncan only got 2, and all of Shaq, Dirk, KG and Kobe ended with 1 MVP each. Lebron also hasn't got one in the last 5 years, despite being the undisputed best player in the NBA over that time (this is the first season he isn't on that mantle).
Giannis has a long way to go to match the career of any one of those guys.
This could be unpopular.
I dread what the NBA and other professional leagues might become if juniors model their games after Steph Curry. Curry is obviously a remarkable talent - a once-in-a-generation type talent - but his game is built around hitting what for any other player are low percentage shots. Kids will spend their junior careers trying to replicate his moves - in the same way that my generation tried to be like Mike - and that will feed into the professional game.
On the upside, it might usher in an era of Curry clones who have the capacity to hit contested shots at will and seem to possess unlimited range. On the downside, it could usher in an era of players with more shot selection. As someone who thinks that Steph's game will be difficult or impossible to replicate I fear we will end up with the later.
