Alotta posts include the statement “Luka is top 3 generational talent in NBA”, when speaking of this trade.

I’m not saying he is or he isn’t- just curious who are the top 3 players would be?

He's top 3 currently active, not top 3 talent ever

(no order)
Luka
Giannis
Jokic

Giannis and Jokic. The biggest opinion is whether or not you put Luca or SGA at 3

The correct Answer is (Also in no particular order).

Joker
Luka
Giannis
Wemby


LeBron
Steph
KD

Those "old heads" still hold value, but there is a grouping of unestablished future guys that are trying to get into that stratosphere. Wemby is added to the above grouping based off of what he has already shown and what is brewing in SA. The League is a Euro League whether we like it or not, and similar to what Giannis said its about time a major Euro guy has hit a major market...

This question went about like I figured

Luka is top 3, but this board has listed 7-10 players in just a few minutes lol

Jokic and Giannis are the easy 1/2. 3 is either Shai/Luka.

After being traded to the Lakers he’s somewhere around 10th

Why?

Because he for once may not be the best player on his team?

Market change?

Don't believe he did anything but improve his stock by the trade occurring.

Also, he lost over 100 Mil likely due to the no MAX with the Mavs, but i guarantee you will see him doing way more with his Luka Brand now that he's in a bigger market. Be ready to see plenty of Luka.....

You left out Tatum, who is better than Luka.

Only Jordan averaged more points in the Playoffs.

And Luka has played 50 playoff games, so its not like some skewed small sample size.

Embid while maybe not top 5 due to health is a tremendous unique talent. He is easily top 8 currently
