2-Regarding to leading to a championship, the last C who won finals MVP was Shaq in 2002. So, do we stop looking for a good C anyway? Maybe we choose wrong teammate for Luka since folks here think KP is a C.
3-In fact, the last 9 winners of finals MVP were all SF. Lebron/KD/Kawhi/Iggy.
4-If you take those guys, add Curry to the list, remove Iggy and say those are the elite players in the NBA today? those would be top 4 anyway.
So, who forms the rest of top 10 if you believes that those are the only one to lead you to true contention? Maybe another young point forward like Luka? and that is it?
There are more room in top 10 (or even top 7) for players who can't lead you to too championship team.
1 - If Gobert is a top 10 player as has been stated here by Fifteenth and Kamm, then he would at least need to be the 2nd on a team with Top 5 Luka.
2 - There are two arguments being made in this thread. One would Gobert be a good pick up on the Mavs which is officially moot. The other argument is whether or not Gobert is a top 10 NBA player. That debate rages on.
3 - Another reason not to pay a defensive center 200 million dollars.
4 - ? Don't really understand this point.
