My top players until I get to IT

1 Lebron
2 Durant
3 Curry
4 Westbrook
5 Harden
6 Davis
7 Leonard
8 Cousins
9 Paul
10 Irving
11 George
12 Lowry
13 Butler
14 Derozan
15 Griffin
16 Thomas

Ok, 2 questions then...

Is this Ainge's biggest heist as a GM?  Acquiring a top 20 NBA player for peanuts?

or,

Is this Brad Stevens greatest guard reclamation turning a JAG into a top 20 NBA player?

I'd lean a little more toward the former with a little bit of Stevens coaching the situation perfectly. I'm not sure I can think of a better job at getting so much for so little in recent history. We essentially turned a trade exception into an All-Star guard on an insanely good contract. How does that even happen?

Who's better: IT or Allen iverson?


I think IT, right? Way more efficient.

But iverson played most of his prime when hand checking was still legal


Hmmm

Iverson was a larger cultural figure, though
yup.
Iverson carried a team to the finals. ITs gotta at least carry us to the ECF before this convo starts.
Plus won an mvp award.  Silly statement actually.

I view Isaiah Thomas as a TOP-15 player in this league, but not Top-10 (still VERY good though).
