Austin Reaves over his last ten games: 27/5/6 on 53/38/96 shooting, why isn’t he the front runner for M.I.P of the year?

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Because front runners for awards arent based on 10 games late into the season?

TIME TO GO TO THE NEXT THREAD

Sketchers Powell’s case>>>>>>Reaves

Nobody thought nikkax would’ve been calling Norm an all star snub this year

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Not true. He signed the max. He could have gotten more from another team in restricted free agency but there was no point cause the lakers would have matched anyways. Rob let teams know that if they wanted to play dirty, it was gonna be bad for them

What’s that mean that it was gonna be bad for them?

 

[FTBS]

Austin a beast. Always been nice but I knew he arrived in that Pacer game that was supposed to be Luka's debut. Teams are gonna have such a hard time trying to contain him with 3rd option attention come playoff time.

I’m just explaining why I think Cade deserves to be MIP and likely will win.

Forgive me, breh, I forgot this board doesn’t like discussing hoops beyond one liners, agenda sparring and trolling.

We here for one liners and hot takes
You not Sam amick

2 best players on the lakers are cacs

Austin is having a hell of a run, but MIP based on 2 weeks?

He was basically gonna tie up their cap space until the last min and then match their offer. With your cap space tied up during that period, u lose out on free agents.

 

[Primetime21]

He’s averaging 20 for the season

Thats cool but not the premise of the thread as implied by the title

 

[NYC Rebel]

He was nice at OU. I didnt expect him to be this good. I just knew he belonged in the league.

Norm has been highly underrated this season.

 

[Po pimp]

Most Improved is the award that makes the least amount of sense to me. Like Cade Cunningham being the frontrunner this year…isn’t he on his natural trajectory as a #1 pick? When Ja won it a couple of years ago, he was on his trajectory as a #2 overall pick. I remember when Coby White finished second last year because his PPG jumped from 10 to 19ppg, but he actually averaged 15ppg in his second season. He simply didn’t have as much opportunity after that because the Bulls signed Derozan. Once players got traded, the opportunities came. SGA’s dad was on Gil’s Arena the other day and he mentioned his son averaged 10ppg as a rookie, then he got traded and averaged 19ppg. He said his son didn’t improve like that in just over 3 months. He said he’s always been that guy, but just had an opportunity to play more in OKC.

Now players like Giannis and Jimmy Butler, they weren’t drafted high, but they showed improvement year after year, and they won it in their breakout seasons.

 

[Trojan 24]

Which Laker is better than him?

Luka

 

[Elim Garak]

They should move him this summer, but the Lakers know nothing about trading a player when they are most valuable.

 

[NotAHotep]

They should move him this summer, but the Lakers know nothing about trading a player when they are most valuable.

Why? They made it clear that Austin was part of their future plans.

 

[StatUS]

Norm Powell and Dyson Daniels should be running away with this. Braun is in 3rd.

Cade was supposed to be this good his coaching and team surrounded by him was trash
