Lakers aren't very well represented this year in The Athletic's Poll of 142 active players.



Recommend reading it for the player quotes.

if you don't have the Athletic, here are the poll results

Kawhi?


Nice to see the players don't see Rudy the same way the media sees him. BUT on the flip side, AD was reduced to the "also receiving votes" category. Shared with: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nicolas Batum, Patrick Beverley, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Davis, Kris Dunn, Wesley Matthews, Andrew Nembhard, Dennis Smith Jr., Matisse Thybulle, Derrick White, Andrew Wiggins.

Hats off to Bron for players still seeing him as a franchise starter block at age (almost) 40


f*** you Gobert.

AD having the same share of overrated votes as the...

cool hat bro ! You really don’t care about America.

maybe NY can beat the green f ugly s

Denver in 6

Looks like things get underway in early July


Not sure when they have to report yet.

Both Lebron and AD plan on playing in the Olympics this year. In the past, we've seen younger players have their next season pretty dramatically affected due to fatigue. How about the guy with more miles than anyone in the history of the league? How about the guy with a history of injury even though he's been in one of the healthiest stretches of his career?

Lebron played a LOT of games this year, and AD played more than any other superstar. When adding to this the intense load of an Olympic Games, can we really expect them to be ready to play more than 50% of the season next year? If they play more, will they be healthy? When they do play, will they have enough in the tank to sustain through a playoff run if they were to get there?

I get wanting to represent your country, but to me, this...
