I guess LaMarcus Aldridge is better than DeMarcus Cousins? And Jonas V better than Jokic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz if that's the case Anthony Davis and Boogy are super scrubs. It's not arbitrary. I asked you a question. A question you still haven't answered. You said Towns was MVP caliber. MVP's lead their teams to wins, not just post individual stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell Westbrook's season was an aberration. Averaging a triple-double for an entire season is extremely rare air and that surely helped him win the award. 2. The Oklahoma City Thunder did not finish the season with a 31-51 record and miss the post-season; however, Karl-Anthony Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves did.

IrishGreen Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Towns is fine if you don’t value defense whatsoever. Once again, I’m not saying he’s not good, just that you need a very specific roster to build with him. He’s not Anthony Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinneasGage Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Tracy McGrady is in like a mentor role for the Magic. Think they said his title is assistant to the CEO, but lots of video/pics of him working w/ ORL players. cool move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Towns becomes even an average defensive player, then he becomes an elite player. And offensively you don't need a specific roster built around him at all.

J-ALL-DAY Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 14 hours ago, seminoles1 said: That would have been fine to say before Westbrook won MVP. I mean not like Westbrook didn't lead his team to wins. Dude won 47 games with a bunch of scrubs and 16 more than the TWolves. So Westbrook did both, lead his team to wins and post great individual stats. Maybe not as many wins as past MVPs, but can't even compare the situation to Towns. Now saying that, I'm confused as well in having to build a specific roster around him. In what way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 My overall point regarding Towns was when the GM's picked him as the player they would build their team around today. This is a perimeter oriented driven league. There is no big man in today's game I would even consider building my team around from scratch if I had the entire pool of players to choose from.

Just goes to show how many GMs are still living in a past era. It’ll be a long time before a big carries a team to a title again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
