The Annual NBA GM Survey is out. They have the Heat as the heavy favorite (all but one vote from Riley since GM's cant pick their own team) to win the East, and favorite to win the championship.

They also vote Lebron as the favorite for MVP.

Funniest thing was how Lebron, not surprisingly, was named best SF, and was also voted by GM's as the 3rd best PF in the league

Here's the rest of the survery.

Smithi, the issue with that logic is I don't think any of us envision Josh playing major minutes, let alone against dominant front courts.

Dee-Zy · 10-23-2012, 03:03 AM

Kevin Love the best PF in the league!?

Am I the only one who do not agree with this!?!?

I think Dirk, Gasol and Bosh are still better or am I crazy?

**Jace** · 10-23-2012, 04:20 AM

Look at the numbers. And which one of those 3 you listed were MVP candidates last year? Believe it or not, Love was one. None of those 3 had seasons as good as Love. Its a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately culture in sports.

I like Harrellson.

YOU EARNED 3 COSBYS ON THE DOCTOR SCALE

**Wade County** · 10-23-2012, 02:58 PM

I think Love is a pretty clear #1 on the PF scale at the moment.

How good a fit would he be offensively here? And on the boards?

His defense may not quite cut it though

Sidenote, Bosh has become a much better defender.

**Jace** · 10-23-2012, 03:19 PM

Definitely on Bosh. It'll take the national view another season or two to come around though.

But yeah, Love would be ungoldy here.

**Wade County** · 10-23-2012, 03:25 PM

Doesn't KLove have like a 3yr contract?

Make it happen Riles.

He did say if they don't make the playoffs soon, he's out.

**Wade2Bosh** · 10-23-2012, 09:22 PM

No more center on the all star ballot. 3 top vote getters in the "frontcourt" will start.

**Jace** · 10-23-2012, 09:40 PM

Haha...THE WORLD WILL SOON BE POSITION-LESS.

Seriously, though. That's awesome. Such blended positions anyway.

Someone mentioned Boston having played their last preseason game already. That's great for us. They should be rusty on ring night.

OT: What the hell is Bill Simmons doing in ESPN's NBA studio? I knew it was happening, but he just doesn't work on TV and really doesn't belong among NBA analysts who have played/coached. ESPN really ****ed up listening to the NBA and nixing SVG. He wasn't replaced by Simmons, but still.

**Jace** · 10-23-2012, 09:53 PM

Wait a minute...the top 3 front court vote getters? Does this mean we could have 3 SFs, hypothetically?

Off the top of my head, can't think of a third SF that could start. Hopefully Bosh goes on an early tear and we see something like Rondo-Wade-Melo-LeBron-Bosh, finally.
