I havent been a huge Lillard guy in the past, but he's having a Steph Curry adjacent season right now.
His team is out of the playoffs.

Yeah, his team blows.His team is out of the playoffs.
Yes.Is Hayward better? Yes. Is he way way way better? **** no.
I’m confused. Were you making the comparison or was he?This the same dude that got on me for daring to compare peak CP3 (which he isn't close to now) to Stockton? Lol, keep doing you.
Thybulle, Clarke, an Issac have proven themselves as plus defensive players....Dude you’re a full blown idiot. Straight up.
"Then the bench is a bunch of dudes I would never draft for this thing, like Fultz/Hunter/Barrett who have not proven in any way they contribute positively to winning."
Proceeds to applaud Eminence for drafting Thybulle, Issac, and Clarke.
It’s also fair to expect a decrease in effectiveness due to age but not a potential increase due to age.
It’s comical. You really can’t make this **** up.

You're 3 havent done that. It's just facts. Those 3 guys on Em's team each have a case for 2nd team all defense.
Also, I agree with a lot of what you say outside of this. When it comes to this though you suck.
For instance WC:
Here is the combined Defensive Box Plus Minus for RJ/Hunter/Fultz: -3.1
Here is the combined DBPM for Isaac/Thbulle/Clarke: 6.7
So no, my reasoning isnt personal, it's has reasoning. Please stop crying like a little baby.
I dont even have to project improvement. These dudes are defensive studs, even if they dont improve one iota.
This was my team last year that got waxed in the 2nd round:
PG - Ben Simmons / Ja Morant
SG - Donovan Mitchell / Evan Fournier
SF - Jayson Tatum / RJ Barrett
PF - Kyle Kuzma / James Johnson
C - Clint Capela / DeAndre Ayton
That lineup includes picks 13, 14, 25, 39, and 64 picks from this current draft. That’s 4 players in the top-39. That team would win this years competition handedly if I picked a different PF.
I must not be that bad at projecting for the future.
What do you want me to say exactly? Do you want me to change my (correct) stance that younger players who are unproven are a bigger risk than vets who have proven skill-sets just because you picked Ja Morant last year?@Saint Cy of JFC you’ve yet to acknowledge this. Doesn’t math up with what you’re saying so I don’t expect you to.
You are the one who called those 3 out....Thanks for comparing one of his starters with my three bench players. You’re a real winner. Again not a coincidence that you’ve never voted for me once even when I have made it to the Finals multiple times.

We have a difference of opinion on this ****. Stop being a cry baby about it.
