I still don't see them as a Finals contender but I believed soon, they will be rebranded into Mavericks' 2011 championship roster and Luka will get his first ring.
No one really can foretold about this young gun's journey but I believe he can do it, we've seen him breaking records after records and just a matter of time that he'll be getting that ring. He's still young and if I were him I'd take this trial of times as a gradual process for his development throughout the league, I believe he'll find the right team that will lead him onto that ring.

but we have to understand that Kuzma was a big contributor during the NBA Finals where Lakers won.
Game1 - 3 PTS / 22 MINS = Lakers win by 18
Game 2 - 11 PTS / 21 MINS = Lakers win by 10
Game 3 - 19 PTS / 23 MINS = Lakers lose by 11
Game 4 - 9 PTS / 19 MINS = Lakers win by 6
Game 5 - 7 PTS / 22 MINS = Lakers lose by 3
Game 6 - 2 PTS / 22 MINS = Lakers win by 13
Sorry but I don't know where's the part that Kuzma is a big contributor on the last year's NBA Finals.
Anyways, just to be clear, we are not judging Kuzma here in a negative way. It's that just we noticed his "consistent inconsistency" throughout the 4 seasons of his career as a Lakers on which he should suppose to be in his prime.
Maybe LeBron saw something special in Kuzma. I don't know but LeBron kept bragging about Kuzma being one of the league's face in the future. But the main issue about him is his inconsistency. He could've stepped up when It matters most during the absence of their 2 best players. We'll he have stepped up and lead his team in points during that time, but they have struggled to win games.
In fairness to him, I could say that he's not really a bad defender. He can actually guard tightly. His defensive presence is a good addition to win games, but then again his offensive inconsistency makes him looks like he's just a mediocre player.
I used to remember when Him and Clarkson playing together they are both offensives, same a like when Kobe and Eddie Jones are playing together.
I was expecting more from him when LeBron transferred to LA thinking that he'll be a good wing for Lebron. But same with how you see the type of game he got, being inconsistent is the very first thing that you'll going to notice from him.
Unlike with Clarkson where you'll see improvements with the type of game he's showing to all his fans, Kuzma should adjust for good.

Maybe the reason for his inconsistency is that he is still adjusting or that he is being shadowed by other players in his team, that could be the case but I think that Kuzma is going to be able to be good player, just give him the time to adjust.

Maybe he sees that now but that would change according to Kuzma's performance, nothing is permanent actually as this is business, players are paid with expectation, so if they will not live to that expectation, expect a move by the management to move him.
Lebron could influence the management, but if Kuzma will become a burden, the team will struggling, he needs to choose.
I don't know whats happening to kuzma as he is capable to score 30+ in a game but for the stats he's showing it stated that he's not comfortable in their rotation, maybe he's not totally good with lebron as he keeps struggling to contribute to his team, maybe lakers should trade them to find good piece if they want to win the champ next season. I know Kuz got a big potential but maybe he can released his potential on another team.

Well, I think he became like an ambassador and attached to the team name itself, Lakers. When you say Lakers, fans would remember him but not his performances.
We usually remember the bad performance of a player when the team was struggling, during the Finals last season, although the Lakers loss some games but we never thought they would lose in the series because they were a heavy favorite, and Heat was just a surprise.
@harizen, nice stats.. that's a real argument with proof.
Lebron could influence the management, but if Kuzma will become a burden, the team will struggling, he needs to choose.
Bron is one of the biggest contributor in terms of decision making and if he's that they're struggling and he has an eye for it, he really has to decide and recommend the change to the management but I think it won't happen this time. but we have to understand that Kuzma was a big contributor during the NBA Finals where Lakers won.

Mavs will not get far in playoffs without KP. Hardaway was bad last year in the bubble.
Not just Kristap Porzingis but Mavericks needs to have much better support for their main players.
The talent of Luka is amazing at his age but he needs good players around him. I still don't see them as a Finals contender but I believed soon, they will be rebranded into Mavericks' 2011 championship roster and Luka will get his first ring. Too much to believe but everything is possible. In 2011, no one expects them to sweep the Lakers 4-0, only losing once against OKC 4-1 and defeating the Miami Heat's Big 3 at 4-2.
Knicks 3rd game on this 7 game road trip. 2-0 and tonight against the Nuggets. They need to keep rolling. I'd do everything to keep the ball out of jokics hands and take what you get from everyone else. Next up suns, clippers and Lakers so this one would be nice to have.

Michael Porter Jr. shined more after Murray was injured and his skills floated being a badass at 3 point line and helping Jokic with the rebounds.
Jerami Grant, no questions he showed something different during the playoffs last year with the Nuggets.
But of all this names, Julius Randle is on the spotlight. He is the one carrying the Knicks now and even put them back in the map for a playoffs chance.
Even better, he helped seal it taking a nice spot at number 4 in the Eastern Conference.
I think Randle will take this award this year.
There is no world that Julius Randle doesn't win the MIP award. I get that Christian Wood improved a lot, and many other players did as well and kudos to all of them, however Julius Randle took a New York team that was nowhere near the top, a team that was destined for a high pick because they were a tanking team in everyone's mind, and now they are 4th in the east, that is incredible.

This is why I think it is clear choice to pick Julius Randle here, he has the best chance, not only because he had a great stat line improvement, but he improved the team beyond what anyone imagined could happen as well, that is a very good scenario for a win. I think MVP is closed as well, Jokic is definitely the winner in my mind.
That's the big factor there! improving not only his stats but helping the team as whole, sending my vote for too.
Randle lift this team up, with the help of his teammates and a good mentor, they are now secured moving to the next round. By choice
MIP probably deserve to be given to him.
Just need to wait till the awarding and see if he'll get this recognition.

Another great performance by Tim Hardaway Jr.
In Maverick's win against the Heat, Time scored 36 points, and most of the points are coming from 3 point area.
He made 10 shots on his 18 attempts, that was huge, if he can keep that up, Dallas would be so unpredictable as they are good 3 point shooters.
https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/boxscore/242776
He would be a game-changer in the playoffs and this would lessen the load and pressure to Luka since if Tim make shoots this will make the defense of the depender scramble on who to guard since they only prepare for Luka, and also make inside scoring easy because they have 2 shooters outside, I hope Tim will be consistent especially in the playoffs.In Maverick's win against the Heat, Time scored 36 points, and most of the points are coming from 3 point area.

He will get the recognition if he will be consistent in the playoffs, it's his time to shine so he should do that. Although Luka is really exceptional I still believe that Mavericks is not a one-man team, they are successful because of their good teamwork, this team just needs to be healthy and they'll be a big threat to any team in the playoffs.
Mavs will not get far in playoffs without KP. Hardaway was bad last year in the bubble. In general he play one game very good and other bad. Such player is impossible to be a second player on championship team. He is right now 6th player coming form the bench, but finishing games. He dont mind being 6th player, what tells us what kind of player he is. What was more important at yesterday game was great game of rookie Josh Green. He had 4 rebs, 3 assists and 3 steals, with +17. Carlisle never trust rookies much, so they develop very slowly. Hopefully he will give Green more chances. For next year after Olympic tournament and summer league, I am sure Green will get plenty of chances to play.
but we have to understand that Kuzma was a big contributor during the NBA Finals where Lakers won.

I agree with you, Randle is a big reason for the success of the Knicks, he has transformed into being a threat outside too, that's why he is so unpredictable as he has a game inside and outside, and teams should watch out for the Knicks this season or in the playoffs, as they might pull a big upset. It's nice to award the most improved player coming from the most improved team, and that team is undoubtedly the New York Knicks.
He definitely changed his game shooting the lights out from beyond 3pt. He is a match up nightmare now that he has a serious outside game. Can now take smaller guys inside and bigger guys anywhere on the court and stretch the floor. Even in his bad games he is getting all his teammates involved. They are playing as a complete team right now and it all starts with Randle. Couldn't imagine the noise in the garden with a full house in the playoffs. Been awhile lol

How about the Most Improved Player race discussion. Who's your pick?

Michael Porter Jr. shined more after Murray was injured and his skills floated being a badass at 3 point line and helping Jokic with the rebounds.
Jerami Grant, no questions he showed something different during the playoffs last year with the Nuggets.
But of all this names, Julius Randle is on the spotlight. He is the one carrying the Knicks now and even put them back in the map for a playoffs chance.
Even better, he helped seal it taking a nice spot at number 4 in the Eastern Conference.
I think Randle will take this award this year.
