"Top players" means something else to me.

Oh, there is no doubt he is a top 10 level media priority.

Brunson should be 5

I don't like the Lakers, and no love for Doncic. In fact I thought Dallas might have wanted to get out in front of building around him given his penchant to not work on his body thinking injuries would become problematic was not a bad idea. Davis paired with Kyrie and the roster they had at that moment was potentially a great idea. Davis injuries were all known. Kyrie's was not.
As for Luka being held in high regard? ROY, MVP not yet but placed 4,5,6,3,8 in voting and 5 years running 1st team all NBA. We all love Jalen for many reasons but Luka has taken Dallas to finals. The kid whines and does not play defense because he is not in great shape.
I love Jalen is even in the top 10 and getting cred for his game.

Looking at how Boston and Indy might be taking a step back this year and now we a few months past Indy elimination Im looking at Haliburton with some respect. He is annoying as crap and a brilliant villain for us but that he came back for game 7 knowing how tender that tendon was vulnerable and tore it speaks for itself. He did what was expected of him. He should have played for a championship. We'd have blasted him otherwise. But he did play, and he did tear losing a full year and then will need time to get back to speed. Could take months also. It was game 7. It was a great series. Haliburton not on the top 10 list, and has been over rated a bit prior, but really Indy hit stride when he was over his injuries and was with OKC the best team in the second half of the season and made finals not by fluke. Twice all nBA 3 rd team. Deserving. I'll boo him, but with respect.

Knicks won 51 games last year and were decimated with injuries

Decimated is kind of strong. I'd say they were kind of lucky with injuries, outside of Mitch.I mean, we got 74 games out of OG. That said, I think 54 games is doable.

Yes - thought we were healthy last year particularly key players and during playoffs.

One of the Knicks starters missed nearly the entire season. And their one decent vet min missed the first 30 games.
Maybe I should have said that the roster and especially the bench was decimated, because of the injuries and trade that shorted their roster at the opening of training camp.

I’d take the over on 53.5. Leaning toward the under on the Rockets and Nuggys. Thinking Toronto will outperform.

Zion looking good early on. Leaner and hopefully can stay on the court. I gather this will be a process were "less is more". By that he might not be the transformitable player one might have hoped given the limitations of mankind on ones body to sustain for a season. To be that quick with that bulk was not meant to be. With his leaner stature he can be quick but less bully ball, and can't jump at everything. Maybe a bit of maturity on and off the court will get him back to some form of relevence and perhaps if need be a reliable trade asset.

Maybe Spain should figure out how to fix its housing shortage for its people before sh tposting about a guy who averaged 21 6 and 5 in the NBA last season.

Heat waived Precious Achiuwa. After spending the prior season-plus with the Knicks, Achiuwa returned to the Heat on an Exhibit 10 contract just before the start of training camp. The 2020 first-round pick faced long odds to make the opening night roster, especially with the Heat being in luxury tax territory. The decision to waive Achiuwa gets Miami back under the luxury tax, and they’ll likely begin the regular season with 14 players on standard contracts. This transaction does not impact fantasy basketball.
