Blake win probably have an MVP season first, but he won't win. I'm putting my money on AD.
Which of these players will win an NBA MVP first?
- Thread starter verbaltelekinesis
- Start date
The others are great and Westbrook should be perennial First Team All NBA for for the remainder of his career, but Anthony Davis is the only one from that list who I see has a chance to be the best player in the league and win the MVP. Durant on the same team hurts Westbrook also.

anthony davis will win one first. I think he's only 20, and his potential is limitless right now. 
won't win one as long as he plays with KD and his framily.
blake is gonna be hard pressed to win one with cliff paul also. but it is still possible.

I agree, but AD hasn't even scratched the surface of his full potential, and he's already a beast in this league.

I can't see Rusty winning it while on the same team as Durant.
Has an MVP ever not led his team in scoring?

He is, but they really fukked things up trying to win right away, they couldn't give Gordon away, Anderson had a neck injury and wont be the same, Evans played well towards the end of the season but he's locked up for so long and Holiday is the epitome of
What the fukk were they thinking? They should have kept their pick from last year and tanked this year, how scary would the Pelicans be next year if they kept Noel, and went into next season with Caproom & Embiid/Parker/Wiggins/Exum etc.

I agree. the free agent aquisitions aren't the pelicans downfall. but that trade for jrue holiday really is a head scratcher

The free agent's are a problem though, with AD being a superstar level talent and those free agents, they will be too good to get a top 5 pick but not good enough to get out of the first round.

see, this is a problem that plagues almost all NBA GM's. the thirst. they get a little cap room. know they aren't a major market, so they blow it on FA's that won't change the fortune of their franchise.
I don't think that $10M a season is crazy for reke, but they already fukked themselves over with EG. and added insult to injury by grabbing jrue. they didn't really need jrue. especially with the high price they paid for him with this year's draft pick.

x2. That's why I asked. Can't believe I forgot Nash. But is Russ ever gonna lead the league in assists? 
The Pelicans wanted to make the playoffs, they ended up missing and forfeiting their pick to the Sixers
$10m a year for Reke wouldn't be bad if he was starting next to Wiggins or Parker, but when he's essentially the number 2 or AD it's a problem.
