Here is my take on JV.
- I think he's the best center we've ever had, but we've had a terrible history so you have take that with a grain of salt.
- JV deserves credit for the title, but he wasn't there in the playoffs so shouldn't get a ring. Especially since teams don't do that (I thought they did, so learning something new every day).
- This day and age it's only about what you do in the playoffs and not what you do in the regular season. This is a harsh truth, but the 82 games don't really matter and JV again wasn't there for the playoffs.
- I think we would have still won with JV over Gasol. Marc was amazing to shut down Vucevic. With JV we would have won in 6 or 7 not 5, but we still would have won. We would have done as good of a job against Embiid. Giannis is the question mark for me, but Kawhi was the big difference maker to be honest. GSW folded once Klay went down. But truthfully we can debate this point forever, and we'll never know what would have happened.
- I'm still happy we did the trade because we ended up with a chip.
As for Nav.. that was a gesture to give to the fans.. the 2-3M that showed up to the parade. The crazy fans in Jurassic Park. Many who watched from home. Nav was the symbol that represents the Raptor fandom. So he gets a ring. Wish they gave one to Matt, Jack, Leo, and Jones too though.
