odd, right after Dame said Kidd was the guy he wanted.

At this point not a lot of sane, law-abiding people desperate to move to Portland.

Sorry, Luka.
I hope at the very least Rick Carlisle buys Luka something nice to thank him for saving his job

At least they picked the right guy before driving the train headlong off a cliff. Lmao

Right, but that's just like us picking Reke and Boogie before promptly accidentally lighting the damn house on fire trying to boil an egg for breakfast.

not sure of that, but I did see he is the lowest drafted guy ever to win the MVP.
Not as bad as when Nowitzki won it right after his team was eliminated from the playoff by the 8th seed Warrior

who says the big man is extinct? this is great for the league and future NBA big men who will emulate players like Jokic and Embiid for decades to come.
Willis Reed was the first pick of the second round in 1964, but he was the 8th overall pick. Moses Malone was drafted into the ABA and not the NBA, and he was taken in the third round, but there were only 10 teams at the time, so he was picked earlier than Jokic, even if it was a later round.
Outside of Jokic/Malone it looks like Nash/Giannis (both at #15) were the lowest-selected MVPs.

so in other words, he is the first second round NBA MVP
Well, Willis Reed was the first second-round MVP, there were just fewer teams then. It's definitely fair to say Jokic is the lowest-picked MVP.

it doesn't make much sense labeling Reed a second round player in a league with a low amount of teams. very flawed system back in the mid 60s to label it as such
Yes, they should have given each team in the league four picks in the first round so that draft rounds would be more easily comparable when the league expanded to 30 teams.

why have draft rounds at all? you're fielding a team of 15 players. unless it was less back then?
